Short and Sweet: Wearing Short Hair

Women wearing short hair may look feminine or stylishly boyish, sometimes casual and sometimes sleek. Whatever the style, short hair is alluring and sophisticated. Contrary to widely held beliefs, women do not cut short their femininity along with their hair. Well-shaped short haircuts are sophisticated, they attract attention to the facial features, and bad hair days are a worry of the past. Now, what do you think of cutting your hair short?

Quite often, we are even nervous about having the ends cut off our hair. "Please! Not too much!" We worry about having our hair cut by seemingly uncontrollable hands. There is also no reason to worry about looking too boyish. Short hairstyles look particularly sexy and feminine no matter which one of the many looks you choose. Whether you want to look extravagant and stylish or feminine and innocent, a short haircut can bring the desired result.

Short haircuts look good at any age no matter what hair color. Even fine hair provides enough volume for a short hairstyle without spending much time blow-drying while pulling your hair over a round brush. It is very important to fit the short hairstyle to the shape of your head.
