Short haircuts can still be breathtakingly feminine

Short haircuts aren’t only for tomboys. Just check out the latest pixie cuts or those punky pompadours. Short is cuter than ever!

• A woman’s hairstyle reflects her personality, and when she wears it with confidence it can really set her apart from the crowd.
• But you don’t need long, flowing locks to make your mark.
• A short haircut can be a real beauty asset, whether it’s smooth and spiky or tousled and curly.
• Short haircuts show off a woman’s face to advantage, highlighting her features and heightening the beauty of her shoulders and even her cleavage.

• But to avoid getting the wrong kind of cut for your face shape and hair texture, ask your hairdresser for some expert advice on the huge range of possibilities.
• She or he can show you pictures of the pageboy look, short bobs, unstructured or spiky styles, the pixie style, or razor-shaped cuts that can be slicked back or tousled.
• Short haircuts light up every kind of face, whether it’s a classic or contemporary cut that you’d like to try.

• Take the time to talk to a professional hairdresser in order to find the perfect cut for you, one that suits your features and the shape of your face.
• If you have a round face, volume has to be increased on the top of the head so as to break the roundness. Is your face square?
• Opt for a short unstructured cut that can by styled with the messy look.
• For an oval face, choose a style that lies flat on top of the head and that includes some asymmetric strands on the forehead for a more balanced effect.

• Short haircuts require meticulous care if they’re to be styled properly every morning.
• Getting lazy and stretching out the time between haircuts isn’t a good idea; short haircuts have to be touched up about every six weeks.
• Use specially designed treatments and styling products and always dry your hair thoroughly, even if there isn’t much of it.

• Scrunch some curl optimizing mousse or cream into wavy hair to create a natural look with short hair.
• Or, smooth out frizzy hair with some hair wax or pomade for a sleek side part or sharp points swept forward onto the face and forehead.
• For optimal results, use all products in small quantities to avoid weighing down the hair.
• When it comes to colouring short hair, opt for highlights that set off your natural colour to advantage.
• A scattering of fine streaks at strategic spots gives extra dimension to a nicely done cut.

So, are you ready to take the plunge with a short style? All that’s left to do is make an appointment at your favourite hairdressing salon.
