Short Hairstyles
Short hairstyles for women can be anything from super short crops to top-heavy one length styles that sit just above the shoulders. Short hair is popular in all textures (straight, wavy and curly), and celebrities usually lead the way with the latest short hair styles; for example Katie Holmes' short hair and Victoria Beckham's bob, and Meg Ryan's short wavy shag.
Method
Only let a fully trained hairstylist give you a short hair cut. Factors such as your face shape, hair texture, growth patterns and home maintenance responsibilities must be taken into account. Different cutting techniques (blunt, slice, chipping, razoring) are suited to different individuals, and these need to be decided on too.
Benefits
Short hairstyles are great if you want to save time, feel new and refeshed, or start over (from bad coloring or chemical abuse). Or maybe you just feel like getting a hair cut that really suits your face shape!
Beware
Make sure you do your research before you commit to cutting your hair off- in other words, consider the style's suitability to your personal attributes and home maintenance routine.
Tips
Short hairstyles are definitely ones you should try on first (using TheHairStyler.com's virtual hairstyler) before committing to one. |
