Reasons to Get Short Haircuts:
- - It looks more professional. There is no doubt that many employers or clients often prefer candidates with a chic short haircut. A trendy look tells them that the person who wears it is confident, takes care of herself, is dynamic, practical, efficient, modern and open to new ideas. Use the momentum of the first impression to your favor.
- - It is more versatile. Many short haircuts have a lot of different styling options that are all easy to do. You can wear it snug and sleek, spiked up or sassy with a wispy texture. A little dab of styling product is most times enough to get a new look every day. Also the new growth in short hair is very evident quickly and makes it possible to get a different type of cut more often.
- - It saves time. Imagine jumping into the shower and getting out twice as fast. Drying time for your sweet new do is cut in less than half. Some short haircuts just need to be rubbed with a towel and will air-dry in no time. No strenuous combing out the tangles and long brushing sessions. You won’t miss those!
- - It matches your active lifestyle. Low maintenance is one of the most convincing arguments for short haircuts. If you are sporty and enjoy any kind of exercise, then you might get tired of the eternal ponytail. With short haircuts nothing will come in your way, slap and stick in your face or slow you -down when you are swimming. Get out of the gym more quickly and enjoy more of your evening!
- - It can make you look younger! Long hair tends to drag down an aging face, making it look tired and sallow. A short hair cut with some lift and body may be all you need to look like you've had a face lift!
Which Styles Best Flatter Your Face Shape?
Rule number one when choosing short haircuts: Choose a cut that flatters your face shape. Short haircuts are popular because they make your features the center of attention. Here are a few tips that should help you:
- - If you have a square face, show off your strong jaw with a bob that hits you at the jawbone, like this cut on Christina Ricci. Make sure to ask your stylist for a "graduated bob" which is shorter in back and angles longer towards the front.
- - If you have a round face, consider a short cut that ends an inch or two below the jawbone and has a few long layers, like this long bob on Tori Spelling. I also love this pixie hairstyle on actress Ginnifer Goodwin.
- - Many women with long face shapes have a high forehead. Cover up your large forehead with blunt or side-swept bangs like these.
What to consider before going short?
- - When you cut your hair short, the visual interest is going to go immediately to your eyes and your face. You're going to need a little bit of makeup. If you don't do that, you're going to look too unisex.
- - The drawback is that you can't pull your hair into a ponytail if you're in a rush.
- - Think about the shape of your face, neck and shoulders. The shorter the hairstyle, the more it will emphasize all of these features.
- - For a style that's more universally flattering, leave a bit of length on the top – about 2 to 3 inches – and style it with a bit of lift and texture.
- - Highlights are a helper.Keep in mind that your stylist might suggest highlights to give your cropped cut dimension. It's an added expense – but a worthwhile one – and you'll have to keep them up along with regular trims.
- - Make regular salon appointments. To keep your style looking chic, return to the salon about every 6 weeks for a cut and color, Pelusi says. You might be able to hold off longer on color, he adds, because a little growth at the roots isn't really all that taboo anymore.
- - Have patience while it's growing out. Hair grows about a 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch per month, Pelusi says. In about six months, you could have bob-length hair again.
