Short Hair Styles
Pros & Cons
There is nothing wrong
with wanting to look your best. However, some people think it takes
long hair to look stylish. Nothing could be further from the truth.
There is plenty to like about having a short hair style. In fact, once
they try it, many women insist on keeping their hair short.
For women, a short hair style can be serious or sassy, sleek or spiky.
Sure, you may not be able to have long, flowing braids (I hear they're
not exactly "in"), but other than that, anything goes. One of the main
reasons people choose shorter hair is that it makes for more dramatic
angles. Because of its length, the cut itself becomes more noticeable.
Believe it or not, a short hair style doesn't have to mean flat
looking. If you want it to have more body, or want it to have some
variety, then try a layered cut or big curls to add volume. Of course,
if you are going for a flatter look, that's okay too.
For men, a short hair style mainly tells people to take you seriously.
But if you like to be wild, you can go with different options. Spikes,
a tussled look, or even streaks of color.
Short hair can still make a statement about your individuality (if
that's what you'd like to do).
Can you imagine wearing a thick, woolen hat in the middle of the
summer? Well, those with longer hair are doing just about the same
thing. Shorter hair can help you to stay much cooler as the temperature
climbs in hot weather.
While wanting a new look is one of the primary reasons for having a
short hair style, there is an excellent benefit that some people
forget: It is very easy to take care of. Think about how long it takes
to shampoo long hair, then you have to brush it all out, and drying it
becomes a chore in and of itself. Short hair cuts much easier to wash,
brush, dry and style. Best of all, even though you don't have to spend
an hour getting it to look good, people will think you did...and you
will look and feel great!
