In all of its transformations and variations, the short hairstyle has always been numbered at the top of the list by versatility, style, and manageability. No other style catches the eye and makes the wearer look as professional, chic, and sexy as the short hairstyle.
Short hairstyles worn by women are a fairly new style trend, compared with women’s hairstyles in general. Cropped styles only came to the forefront of fashion a little more than 50 years ago. Since that time, the short hairstyle has given women the freedom to express themselves in numerous ways. From the funky and spiked to the soft and feminine, the short hairstyle can be worn by any woman of any personality, style, and age.
Short hair no matter the age
It has long been a held belief that an older woman should wear a short hairstyle to make her appear younger. While there is some truth in the belief that long hair tends to make wrinkles and flaws more noticeable, short hairstyles and long hairstyles can both be worn by women of all ages if they choose the right style to complement their particular face shape and bone structure.
A good rule of thumb to follow when choosing a short hairstyle to suit your age is to pay more attention to your overall appearance rather than focus too much on how old you are. For example, Trendy spiked styles can emphasize flaws and sagging skin, but I have seen women in their 70s with exceptional bone structure wear these short hairstyles and look amazing. On the other hand, I have also seen younger women try to wear these same short hairstyles and cannot quite carry them off. So, if you want to wear a short hairstyle, pay close attention to your face shape, build, and style of dress before deciding how to cut your hair.
Short hair to flatter your face
I’ve heard it said many times by many people, “I always wanted to wear a short hairstyle, but I don’t look right with short hair” Ladies, this is nonsense. Granted, not every woman can wear every short hairstyle, but every woman can wear a short hairstyle tailor-made to complement their face shape and beautiful features.
There are five basic face shapes: oval, heart, round, square, and triangular. All of these shapes can be beautiful, but one is ideal: oval. No matter the shape of your face, achieving the perfect look involves picking the right cut or short hairstyle that will make your face appear more oval.
To do this, you and your stylists can try different variations of popular short hairstyles to complement your features. For example: If you have a round face shape, you can still wear your favorite short hairstyle as long as you bring some hair forward on your cheekbones and wear a little height in the bang to give your face the illusion that it is oval.
The bottom line is that the short hairstyle is not for just a few who have been blessed with perfectly proportioned features. With the right short hairstyle, you too can sport trendy sexy cropped locks that will be guaranteed to turn a few heads.
