Short hair is in vogue this year, as it has been since 2013. Hence, a lot of women are daring to chop off their locks in the hopes of keeping up with the hottest hairstyle trend. But there is more to styling short hair than cutting your hair short. There is a lot of versatility with opting for short hair that a lot of women have been unable to harness just yet.
Is Short Hair Right For You?
It is important to ask yourself this question before opting to cut your hair short. Short hairstyles might look chic on your favorite celebrities but it does not mean that you can hop on any trend without evaluating whether they would suit you or not. The same goes with hairstyles. Short hair is a big step but if you can take the right amount of consideration, it can improve your overall style tremendously!
It starts with analysing your face shape. Your face shape will have a huge impact on the type of short haircut to go for.
For instance, if you have a round face, the best short hairstyles for you are an assymetrical pixie cut. This will create the illusion of having a narrower face. Meanwhile, an undone bob will flatter an angular face shape. The layers from the bob will soften up the angles on your face, particularly around the chin area. You can also add fringe to your look to camouflage a wide forehead.
A woman with a heart shaped face will look great in a bob that comes with stylised waves that are directed outward from your face. Women with oval face shapes are the luckiest of the bunch. They can wear any short hairstyle they want.
Short Hairstyle Ideas
If you’ve reached this far, then it means you have passed the first test and is actually ready to cut your hair short. The next inevitable question is this: what type of hairstyle to go for?
The bob is the most classic of all short hairstyles. In some cases, women opt for it as a transitional hairstyle. There are plenty of styling ideas for a bob, too. But the most popular is to add some waves to the hair to give more life and bounce to the short hairstyle. In some cases, you can keep the bob long enough to tie hair into a ponytail. You can also style it sleek (just like Anne Hathaway’s) to make your hairstyle look more chic.
Another edgy short hairstyle to consider is the pageboy look. It is feminine yet fun for women who like to don a shorter cut. It is characterised by a deep side part with the front hair allowing to fall over the forehead. It is super easy to style and provides a fresh vibe to your look.
Of course, the notable pixie cut should not be missing in any list of short hairstyles. A lot of celebrities like Charlize Theron, Pink, Miley Cyrus, to name a few, had donned this pixie hairstyle. And if you’ve noticed, they look quite bold and raw while at the same time showcasing these women’s beautiful faces. The hair, therefore, acts as a frame for the face to draw more attention to it.
