The first thing is getting past losing
the long tresses. Some women prefer to wear their hair short but many
women hang on to the long hair they wore 20 years earlier in high
school, eager for a change but scared to make it. While there is no
right or wrong decision, and no one can put an age on the right time to
make a change, you will find that many short hair styles can be far more
flattering.
Now keep in mind that along with
advantages of wearing a short hair style, there are also some
disadvantages but there are probably more benefits than not. For
starters, short hair means you have a much more flexible lifestyle. If
you work with a qualified hairstylist and choose a good cut, you will
find that you have a number of style options. Therefore, you can wear
the hair short and sassy one day, and then curly and elegant the next.
With a good cut, you can choose to have a
subtle wave, dramatic curl, scrunched or spiked look, or any number of
styles that can be achieved with gels, sprays, and hair dryers. Another
popular option is to use a flat iron. With this tool, you can create
styles on sections of your hair or the full hair.
Another benefit of short hair styles is
that it is exciting, never boring. With long hair, you are often limited
to what you can do. In fact, many people with long hair end up wearing
it pulled back in a ponytail anyway, which is boring. With a short
haircut, you can change the shape often as the hair grows. Additionally,
short hair is perfect for all types of hair. If you have thick hair,
then layers can be added to create a sleeker look while for think hair,
a Bob or Crop cut can be done, giving the hair a fuller appearance.
If you like to always be up to date with
the latest fashion, then short hair is perfect. Many of the classical
styles that were in style years ago, to include the Shag, Bob, and Pixie
have come back into style today. For this reason, you can never go wrong
choosing one of these traditional styles.
A huge benefit of short hair styles
involves convenient and ease of care. For people in the business world,
they want something that looks professional but also easy to manage.
Although it will vary from one style to another, in most cases, with
short hair you can simply wash, add a little gel, towel dry or blow dry
for a minute, and head out the door. Shampooing and conditioning takes
just minutes and styling is a breeze. Again, the right haircut is
crucial in that it will fall into place automatically without any fuss.
Short hair styles are definitely stylish
and chic. You could choose a cut that allows you to wear it trendy when
out dancing at night and then polished for daytime wear. Face it, short
hair is sensual and sexy! You can take an out-of-date look and
completely change your appearance by cutting your hair short. In fact,
most women that go from long to short hair are amazed at how much
younger, and thinner they look. Short hair not only makes you look
better but feel better. You will have more energy and vibrancy, sort of
stepping light.
If you are tired of the same old thing
with your hair day after day, and ready to make a chance, then this
might be the right time to have your hair shortened. Just reminder
yourself that if for some reason you are not happy with the cut, your
hair will grow back but chance are, you will be more than thrilled with
the result!
Just remember that wearing a short hair
style does not mean looking like a boy, which is a huge concern for many
women. Again, remember the following things to make your short hair look
chic and stylish, not boyish:
-
Perm your hair to add volume, height,
and curl
-
Choose a new angle to create a trendy
look
-
Try different things with your haircut.
For example, you might wear it spiked, slicked back with a strand to
the side, or simply tousled.
-
Have layers added to your hair
-
Use hair jewelry or pins to pin it or
pull it back
-
Consider having your hair softened with
a razor edge cut
