SHORT HAIR STYLES
Are you wanting to take the plunge and go for a short hair style? A short hair style that suits your face and your personality can drastically improve the way you feel, by boosting your confidence and making you look younger!
You will save time and money on hair care and styling - think of what you could do with that extra 10-20 minutes in the morning if you don't have to blow-dry and style long hair.
SHORT HAIR STYLES - STYLING AND MAINTENANCE TIPS
The Pixie Cut
Choppy and unabashedly messy. A Pixe or 'Elfin' cut is a short layered haircut.
Your face is emphasized with this cut, so you should feel good about your skin and your features if you're going to try this style.
This cut has a lot of short, different length pieces, avoiding blunt, even pieces. The main feature is close-cropped layers that frame the face, short and close around the ears and back of the neck. Think Twiggy, Mia Farrow from 'Rosemary's Baby' or Natalie Portman.
Maintenance: Keep it looking good with a monthly trim. Style it by slicking down your bangs, or pushing them to one side for a sweet, girly effect.
The Short Bob
This cut looks best on oval or square faces. Go for a longer version if your face is very round. Very straight hair suits this hair cut.
The longest piece of hair should fall an inch above the chin so you get that face hugging effect.
Maintenance: Visit the salon monthly to keep this look really polished.
The Blunt Bob
Make fine hair look thicker with a power bob. Unless you are willing to straighten your hair every day, this hairstyle doesn't work for curly hair.
Ask your hairstylist for a blunt line and bangs above the brow. A more severe fringe gives this hairstyle its sharpness.
Maintenance: Trim every six weeks to keep the shape. Blow it straight to style and finish with a flatiron.
The Curly Bob
If your face is round, your hair should be longer than the chin and a bit longer on the neck to balance this style. If your curls are in spiral, be careful not to cut it too short.
Keep the length at your cheekbones as curls retract at least an inch. Cutting individual curls will create some choppiness and avoid bulkiness.
Maintenance: This cut already has shape, so you don't need tons of products. Trim every six weeks.
The Long and Short
This style suits oval shaped faces. It adds amazing body and life to fine, straight hair. For wavy hair, it has a rocker vibe.
Keep layers long in the back and choppy all around. This cut is all about movement. Add heavy, uneven bangs that can be tucked behind the ears or left in front of the face.
Maintenance: Get it cut every two months to keep it looking fresh.
The Short Shag
This cut suits most hair types except super thick and super fine hair. It looks good on delicate faces with small features.
The longest hair should be at the back at the crown.
Maintenance: Get a trim every four to six weeks, short hair grows fast. Styling this hair cut is easy. Pump up damp roots with a volumizer, take the sides and blow-dry them while tousling. Finish by kicking the ends out with your fingers.
