Styles come and styles go.
Today it's a chic bob.
Tomorrow it's loads of luxurious hair.
Next week it might be a puckish pixie.
All it takes just one celeb to show up at the right place at the right time with a new look to set off a stampede for the very same look. Because when today's "it girl" shows off a new 'do, the "bored with my hair" masses eagerly follow.
Okay but when the cut de jour goes long on shortness, what should the soon shorn-to-be know?
What should they consider before unleashing their stylist's scissors on their locks?
What should you be aware of when looking to grab the sexy sizzle of the lopped off look?
The Upside Of Shortness
Well first any newly minted short hair addicts should know that cuts of this length are easy care. You can bank on that. They tend to be neat, presentable and professional looking at all times which is great for today's on the go working woman. Yet they leave you perfectly coiffed for the casual after work gatherings too.
Those setting appointments for an ultra-cropped look should realize too that quality counts. A bad short hair cut is just as undesirable as a bad longer cut.
If you're a workout devotee, what's not to love? What amounts to wash and wear is great for workout sessions. No hair in the eyes or other bothersome problems fitness freaks with longer locks have to cope with.
And if your makeup routine plays up your eyes and lips normally, shorter 'dos go perfect with that.
And don't forget short hair lets you showcase any and all cute earrings you've got in your jewelry box.
Stylist tip: If you're having trouble teasing sufficient body out of your sheered tresses, it might help to remember to use the appropriate shampoo and cut back on conditioner unless you have color treated hair.
Exploring the Downside
Still all is not peaches and cream in the land of smart looking yet stylishly shorn locks. Yes, they are short on everyday upkeep which means bathroom time will be kept to a minimum. Freeing you to hit the snooze button without guilt a time or two sans any worries about arriving stylishly late which your boss may not appreciate.
But you will have to pencil in time for more frequent trims.
Which also means you will need to budget $20, $30 or more every four to six weeks to keep the look fresh and not raggedy.
And if you're hair isn't in peak condition, that could be another problem.
Then too this isn't a cut that can be enthusiastically embraced by one and all. If you don't have the facial features for it you'd be better off sticking with something better suited for camouflaging any short comings you've got in the face shape department.
Still if the bug to go short has bit and bit hard go with it with eyes wide open and you may just love the new you seen looking back in the mirror.
