Short hairstyles can look fantastic a they’re a sure way to make a statement. Plus, they’re less work than a long hairstyle!
You won’t have to consider what updo to toy with because your hair will somewhat take care of itself. You can ditch the straighteners with most short haircuts. Shorter styles have the bonus of looking great when they’re a tad bit unruly.
Curly or bed hair; it doesn’t matter. Even if you do want to keep up your straightening routine, you can guarantee it won’t take half as long.
If you’ve been toying with the idea of short hair for a while, it might be time to take the plunge.
But it’s not an easy decision to make as short styles don’t work for everybody. Here’s how to choose if one would look great on you:
Where to Find Inspiration?
Before you can make any choices, it’s important you get some short hair inspiration. Head to a site like theperfecthairstyle.com to get some idea of your options.
Many celebs are also switching to the short hair look for Spring. From Scarlett Johansson to Rihanna; they’re all getting in on the action. If your fave celeb has gone short, look at the style they chose.
This isn’t a one short size fits all situation. You can choose from pixie cuts, inverted bobs, and much more. If you’re sure one style wouldn’t work, look for another that would be more flattering.
Determining a Cut Based on The Shape of Your Face
The main reason short hair styles fail is that people don’t consider face shape. Your face is going to be all the more exposed to the world when rocking your shorter hair.
It’s important you pick a style that compliments your cheekbones, hairline, and jaw. If you’re unsure of which shape you have, head to a site like glamour.com to figure it out.
Pixie cuts suit pointed features, while a bob may be best if your face is rounder. If you’re taking inspiration from celebs, look out for individuals with faces like your own.
Gauging the Reaction of Others
None of us live to please others. But, other people can help you make the decision.
Don’t keep your short hair dreams to yourself. Share your plans with your nearest and dearest and see how they react.
It may seem strange, but they know your face better than you do. You only see it when you’re looking in the mirror after all.
If they’re all for it, you can be sure they think it’ll suit you. If they make comments like ‘That’s brave,’ you may want to think again.
The Time it Takes to Grow Back
Ultimately, there’s no way to know what’ll work until you try it. Remember that your missing locks will grow back before you know it.
Sometimes, trying a style is the only way to get it out of your system. And, after you’ve tried, you’ll know whether to do it again. It’s only hair. Take a risk and let me know how things go!
