There are many reasons why people want to keep their hair short. It could be because they just do not have the time to spend on it, perhaps it is unhealthy, or just simply because they like short hair.
There are two basic types of short hairstyles. There is straight short hair, and then there is curly short hair. They both have their advantages and they can be far from boring.
Straight Short Hairstyles
What is important here is what you want from it. Do you want one basic hair style that is wash and go? Alternatively, do you want a hairstyle that will be versatile? In other words, fit the occasion. One that you can wear straight for casual and then spoof it up with some curls for those formal events. This here alone shows you have many choices.
No matter what options you choose the cut is going to be very important. If you want something that you are going to keep pretty well the same way then the cut is what is going to do it for you.
There are specific short hairstyles that are based strictly on the cut itself. The cut gives it its shape and that is what the style is based on the shape. These are wonderful styles because they become “you”. They make a statement about you. The important aspect with this type of style is keeping your hair healthy. You can have the best hair cut or style in the world but if your hair is not healthy then it will not do the style any justice at all.
Curly Short Hairstyles
It does not matter whether you hair is naturally curly or it is permed or you curl it yourself you can make short hair work for you. If you are after a semi casual type style and your have, normally straight hair, then you will need to concentrate on the cut and perhaps a body perm.
If your hair is naturally curly it may give you a few more problems being short but often-short
curly hair is easier to manage. What your biggest concern will be is to control the frizz, as it always seems to be more prominent in short curly hair. You can help tone this done by not brushing your hair. Use a pick or a wide toothcomb to style. It will help you to evenly distribute your hair into the chosen style.
It is very important that you use conditioner to control the tangles. If your hair is naturally curly, choose a style that you can use a straightener on, or a curling iron for curl control. This way you have a variety of choice available to you yet it is still short and controllable.
Short
hairstyles for the most part are controllable and fun to work and experiment with. Just make some basic decisions before you have the cut as to exactly what do you want to be able to do with it and decide on an acceptable length for your short hair.
