Short hairstyles are low maintenance, time saving yet trendy but contrary to popular assumptions, they do not equal effortless styling. So if you are considering cutting your long locks hoping for easy glamorous hair in seconds, then you might have to reconsider how you look at short locks. With having said that, please do not be discouraged because this hairstyle can be taken from beach casual to red carpet glamour. All that is needed is the right tools, flair and a bit of creativity.
Fashionable short:
The benefit to having short hair is the freedom to experiment with products, colour and edgy cuts without much regret. All you need is one short hairstyle that suits you and you’ll become emboldened to try edgier haircuts and wilder colours. Short hair can be fun, sexy, and classy or bold with dramatic flair. It all depends on your inclination.
My favourite short hair-do that looks amazing on ladies regardless of age and facial structure is the classic pixie cut. Halle Berry’s rocks hers sexy, tousled and never out of fashion. Actress Ginnifer Goodwin looks storybook perfect in hers. While Ms Berry is all sexy bronze goddess, the Once Upon A Time actress is fresh and ethereal. Both ladies accessorises with statement earrings for that touch of red carpet glamour.
Now if you are the fun, fearless and daring like yours truly, then Amber Rose’s bleached buzz cut will be just up your alley. I love this haircut and colour, it is effortless yet glamorous. And the bold beautifully applied make-up keeps the face from being plain and washed out by the bright colour. So go to town on that war-paint, think of fun and fabulous make-up look to compliment this traditionally male type of hairstyle.
For my earthy sisters Lira is an amazing example to follow on how one can work a natural short Afro into a stage worthy hair-do. Again your skin, make-up and accessories are yours to play with to your heart’s content. Think sexy, fresh, fun and enigmatic.
Shorty’s got game:
The must-haves for the short-haired feisty female are hair gels, mousse, texturizing paste, curl enhancing creams, smoothing serums, with the curling iron being optional. It all depends on the look you are going for but hair accessories are a must must-have. Accessories and short hair are a marriage made in fashion heaven. A touch of flower is delicate and feminine, bows and head bands are cute and whimsy. Do add a touch of bling on the earlobes, neck or both to get your sparkle on for an eye-catching night out look.
As short & sweet as it may:
Before you commit you’ll have to consider the shape of your face relative to the hair cut, as well the styling options you’ll have. Also be realistic about your expectations. Short hair means your face is more prominently displayed thus the skin will be playing a heavy supporting role. So it’s either your make-up is immaculate daily or you are blessed with exquisite skin and beautiful facial features. If not, you might just find yourself in Regret Motel which is not a fun place to be.
Whatever hairstyle you opt for, keep on being distinctive, sizzling hot and unflappable fashionable.
