Have you been wanting to radically change your image and look younger? Change your hairstyle! The coming spring is the time to get a haircut like never before.
After all, in the life of every woman there comes a moment when the soul longs for change. Most often we start with our appearance—losing weight, dyeing our hair. However, cutting your hair short requires 100 percent determination.
Here are ten incredibly convincing arguments for those who want change, but never dare to try a short haircut.
1. You'll never know if a hairstyle suits you unless you try it.
How can you criticize short hair if you have never had such a haircut in your life? Everything is learned through experience and experiments. Perhaps with short hair you will feel 100 times more comfortable and confident, and you won’t even know it.
Anne Hathaway had long beautiful hair for a long time
Anne is stunning in every role. What's the secret? Celebrities are never afraid to change their appearance and look for the perfect hairstyle.
2. A short haircut demonstrates the fact that you take good care of your appearance.
If, of course, this is really the case. A short haircut and good styling shows that you often go to the stylist, maintain your hairstyle, strive for something new and creative, and try to follow all the trends. And it doesn't cost you anything to get up early and style your hair beautifully.
On the one hand, it is stupid to use Hollywood stars as an example, because professional stylists and image makers always work with them.
On the other hand, look at Scarlett in everyday life: it’s unlikely that the hairdresser worked with her for a long time, and her hairstyle looks simple and neat
3. Short hair is healthy hair
The fact is that the hair simply does not have time to deteriorate. Daily styling, straightening, curling irons and hair dryers are not so scary when you go to the hairdresser once a month. No split ends or brittle hair. They are always fresh and healthy.
The hair of models and stars suffers the most: no matter how much stylists torment them.
We don’t take care of our hair either, so sometimes it needs to be completely “renewed”
4. There are more options for cutting your hair short than you think.
When you hear the phrase “short haircut,” you imagine an angry hairdresser with a clipper in his hands. And then you run out of the salon, completely bald and in tears. Nonsense! Study the types of short hairstyles in advance. The most popular and beautiful haircuts are, perhaps, bob, pixie and undercut. They are all completely different and require a certain approach to styling. So before you decide to change your image, you can find something that you definitely like.

Jennifer Lawrence prefers pixie.
And Miley Cyrus likes undercut
5. Saving time with short hair is a controversial issue, but if you practice, drying and styling will take a matter of minutes
True, this is a very difficult and highly individual question. Some girls say that short hair is no problem and it’s very easy to care for it. Other girls claim that styling long hair took them less time, and short hair takes even longer.
We won’t take anyone’s side, but just think that we are definitely saving:
- time for drying (naturally or with a hairdryer) - after all, short hair dries faster than long hair, this is a fact;
- shampoo, conditioner, hair mask – you will definitely need less cosmetic products;
- time to create volume - combing short hair faster than waist-length hair.
The rest depends on the nature of the hair and hard training. When you learn how to do universal styling, everything will go like clockwork. And instead of 30 minutes you will need 5.
Making a hairstyle like Emma Watson’s is as easy as shelling pears: dry your hair well, part it and gently “shake” the top strands. Don't forget a gel with good hold.
Styling Kaley Cuoco is more difficult and will take a little longer: you need to pull your hair back, backcomb it and fix the result with hairspray
6. People will finally see your gorgeous diamond earrings.
Not necessarily with diamonds, just very beautiful. With a short haircut, you will begin to pay due attention to elegant jewelry: they will not only be in plain sight, but will even complement your hairstyle. And if before you didn’t like changing earrings at all, now your jewelry collection will increase significantly.
Long earrings are the ideal “partner” for a short hairstyle.

7. A short hairstyle can also hide small imperfections on the face.
You think: “If I cut my hair short, everyone will immediately notice my huge forehead, big cheeks or long face.” It's not like that: a short haircut can perfectly decorate small flaws in your appearance. For example, you can easily hide both a large forehead and an elongated face with a pixie haircut.

Keira Knightley has a slightly long face, but we'll never notice it
8. Short haircuts have been worn, are worn and will be worn
You know, short hair will never go out of style. Just like luxurious curls. 60s style icon Twiggy wore her hair short, 90s style icon Princess Diana wore her hair short, and these days, modern beauties don't regret cutting off their beautiful hair. So, if someone tells you: “That’s not fashionable anymore!”, you can laugh in that person’s face!
Twiggy loved wearing her hair short.
Princess Diana also preferred short hair
9. Suitable for women of any age and even makes them look younger
Frankly, almost every hairstyle is said to make a woman look 10 years younger. A short haircut is also credited with a “magical lifting effect.” Stylists say: if you remove your hair from your face and lift it, you will immediately notice visual changes in age in a pleasant direction.
Sharon Stone looks great at 57. We bet it's not just because of the hairstyle.
10. Because you just want to
Are you planning big changes in your life? Then start with your hair. Don't pay attention to public opinion, do only what you want.

Who are they suitable for? short haircuts?
The desire to change, of course, is good, but a short haircut is not suitable for all girls - and this is its main drawback. Ideal option this look will be for women with round faces . Some haircut options with elongated elements will look good in tandem with a square face shape.

Little secrets for a small haircut

. Special mousses, foams, gels and wax will help you style and fix your new hairstyle in the shortest possible time. Well, don’t forget that now visiting the hairdresser should become a habit. Visit your hairdresser at least once every 1-1.5 months, because an overgrown haircut will look sloppy and lose its shape.
Let's remember about. After all, a short haircut will focus attention on the face, significantly opening it up. In order not to look like a boy or a sexless creature, you need to add sexuality and femininity to the image. A light, unobtrusive shade of lipstick, lip gloss and blush will help with this. The main emphasis should be on the eyes. First of all - eyeliner and mascara. But the shadows should be of soft, muted tones, so as not to give the face a vulgar, even “clown” look.
A short haircut is hair without problems. There is such an opinion, although it cannot be called one hundred percent correct. Indeed, short hair is easier to care for, it is easier to style, it is suitable for women of any age and can make you look younger. A short haircut is especially convenient in winter, when your hair requires special care. The hairstyle should be in harmony with your overall style, creating a single whole with it. At the same time, short haircuts have many options, and you need to choose the one that will help hide defects in your face shape and highlight its advantages.
Here are some tips on which haircut to choose for a particular face shape.
If the face is narrow and elongated, then you can make it visually somewhat wider by having a short haircut with voluminous hair to the middle of the cheeks, long curls from the ears and below, low bangs to the eyebrows or even to the eyelashes.
A round face can be narrowed by cutting the hair straight so that it covers part of the neck and reaches the corners of the lower jaw. If the lower part of the face is wide ("square chin"), a short chin-length haircut will do. Due to straight hair, which will cover the unfolded corners of the lower jaw, the face will appear more elongated.
A long nose will appear even longer if you make it very long bangs, - then all attention will be focused on the nose. But with a reduced (“cut off”) chin, bangs to the eyebrows would be very appropriate: they should run in a rounded line along the lower temporal zone, in front of the ears, and also descend low in a rounded line to the back of the neck. Thanks to this, the face will visually lengthen somewhat, and the jaw will seem to move forward.
If the forehead is low, then it can be increased by having a short haircut and thick bangs below the eyebrows.
If the back of the head is flat, then it can be made more rounded with a short haircut, which has special pomp in the area of the crown and back of the head; You can also curl or backcomb your hair to create volume at the back of your head, or wear a chignon. If your neck is short, then it is also better to cut your hair short.
Middle-aged women should choose their hairstyle especially carefully: long hair in any form is contraindicated for them - either loose or tied up in a bun, because it makes them look old. A smooth hairstyle, when the hair is pulled into a bun and the face is completely open, is only suitable for more or less young faces of the correct shape.
All these options for short haircuts, which are now relevant, are significantly different from those that were worn a couple of decades ago. A short haircut with the edges of the hair, milled and trimmed with a ladder, is extremely popular. The hair on the back of the head, temples and bangs is given a deliberately chaotic look, but it should be voluminous. This is achieved by drying the hair after washing in different directions.
Asymmetrical hairstyles have also become very popular. And this is not surprising, because they provide a lot of opportunities for a wide variety of styling, which can look short and long, traditional or asymmetrical.
In general, any woman who wants to demonstrate her stylishness and originality will find her own option in this abundance of short haircuts and will be able to give it an individual sound.
