Going Short
Getting your hair cut short is not an easy decision. Once you cut your hair and find it not suitable, you would end up in a disaster because to restyle your hair you would have to wait at least for another couple of months.
It takes a lot of factors combined together to decide on the right style that would look great on you and hence before choosing the haircut you would have to have a thorough knowledge about them. Some of the factors that you have to consider are the
- Face shape
- Hair type or hair texture
- Hair products that are used to maintain it
- The color of the hair
- Hairstyle chosen
Face Shape
Before you decide on anything about hairstyling, having an idea about your face shape is necessary. Pull back all your hair and see the shape of your face in the mirror. You can easily find whether it is one among the common shapes such as round, oval, square, heart or the pear shaped.
Since you are going to cut your hair short, taking chances would not be advisable, thus make sure what style would suit your face shape beforehand and then visit your hairstylist.
The Round Face
The round face is so symmetrical that making it look oblong or oval would be the only resort to emphasize your best facial features. For this you have to choose hairstyles that add volume to the crown and taper down towards the sides and the back.
When the sides are blunt and cropped off with whisks you might be adding a lot of width to the already round face. You can try styles like the spiked short haircut to make your face oval.
If you have a round face it is better to avoid hair cuts that are up to the cheek level or the chin level. These would not be successful in making your face look narrow.
The Oval Face
The oval face is the right shape that would suit any type of hairstyle. You can try an array of short haircuts beginning from the bob cuts, asymmetrical bob cut, layered cuts, with and without bang, the spike cut, pixie cut and so on.
Square Face
For a square face adding bangs to the front and sides would be a great idea. The hair on the head has to be kept at a reasonably higher volume. Short bangs that blend at the temples would give a trendy look.
Layers too make a good choice for square face.
Heart Shaped Face
Since a heart shaped face is wider at the cheek bones and the eyes, with broad forehead and narrow jaw line and pointed chin, you have to choose a hairstyle that would balance the face shape.
You have to add volume at the cheek and chin level, for this you can choose layered hairstyles with long bangs, or cascading layers and also tight coils at the shoulder level.
Avoid having short bangs that end at the sides because they would make your already broad upper face look broader.
Hair Type and Hair Texture
Apart from the shape of your face the texture and type of your hair is also important to decide about opting for any particular short hairstyle.
There are different types of hair texture such as the dry unmanageable hair, Oily and greasy hair and the fine and thin hair.
A simple study of your hair would be enough to determining what kind of texture it has and depending on this you have to choose the hairstyle.
Dry Hair
If you have Dry hair which needs a lot of conditioning you should choose hairstyles that are not fluffy. Your dry hair would make it very difficult to style it; you should rather go for styles that look good even when your hair is in no mood to settle down.
Some hairstyle like the short shaggy hairstyles with shags would be a great option. Even people with curly hair can have shaggy hairstyles. Short asymmetrical haircut with layers too would be good for dry frizzy hair.
Oily Hair
Oily hair on the other hand sticks to your scalp and thus has to be made to look a little frizzy by adding curls and bangs.
The asymmetrical bob cut would be fine on oily hair; a short blunt haircut too would look great. You have to take care to try your photo with different hairstyles wither using a software or any of the online websites that give you such options so that you do not end up into a pile of mess after cutting your hair short.
Thin and fine hair
Some hairstyles that suit thin and fine hair are
- Trendy short bobs with bangs
- Asymmetrical short haircut with wispy ends.
- Short shags with fringes.
- Layered bob cut.

Purchasing products of reputed companies would be one good option for a guarantee of quality. Also consult your hairstylist on the products to use after the haircut. With going green becoming trendy, searching for herbal based products would be advisable.
The Color of Your Hair
