I recently got a super short haircut after having had long hair for practically forever. And frankly I love it. I’m seriously contemplating keeping my hair short from now on. So I figured why not make a post for all those people out there who are thinking about making a change but don’t really know if it’s the right move to make. So all you people considering going short, this is for you.

The great thing about short hair is that it’s so versatile, it can be sassy, sweet, sexy or sophisticated; all you need is a little styling product and a little flare and imagination. Slick it back, muss it up, spike it, crimp it, accessorise it with pins and clips or a headband, and suddenly you’ve got a whole new look! Short hair won’t ever get boring either since it’s so easy to change your style, as it grows it will change its shape so you always have the option of getting a different cut or wearing it longer of shorter.

Getting a hair cut is also the fastest and easiest way of changing your image. Cutting long hair short is dramatic and different, and it will defiantly get peoples ‘ attention! Changing your hair is the easiest way of making a personal statement. Cutting your hair short doesn’t mean losing your femininity either, just look at the Hollywood stars such as Reese Witherspoon and Halle Berry who have gone short and still look stunning. I know that I’ve been told that I actually look sexier with short hair. Short hair can help accentuate your neck making it look longer and more elegant as well as helping you look slimmer.

And in this day and age, the one thing we really don’t need to worry about is buyer’s remorse. With extensions, wigs, half wigs, clip on ponytails and other hair add ons there are plenty of ways of changing short hair to long whether you’re tired of waiting for your hair to grow or you want to go long for a day.

Look through some hair magazines or find an online hair gallery like this one - you should choose several different potential cuts.

Once you’ve found the cuts that you like, bring the pictures of the cuts to your stylist, remember a picture is worth a thousand words. If you want to dye your hair, bring along a picture of the colour you want as well. Ask your stylist which cut would be most flattering on you and don’t be afraid to discuss what you want with your stylist, be very specific about what you like and don’t like in a hairstyle.

If you find that you have your heart set on a style that might not usually suit your facial characteristics, bring a picture along to your stylist anyway, after all, rules were meant to be broken and you may find that your stylist can modify the style to suit you.
