How Do You Know What A New Hairstyle Will Do For You?

Think Audrey Hepburn

Short hairstyles, like most styles, come in and out of fashion regularly, but they usually spend more time “in” than out.

Recently, a long layered hair style was at the forefront of the beauty industry, but more recently, women have once again embraced the freedom and surprising versatility of short hairstyles.

If you look at a picture of short hairstyles from the 1920’s, you’ll see that the hair is “marcelled.” This was a process by which women’s hairstyle was coaxed into tight, head-hugging waves. But if you look at a picture of short hairstyles from the 60’s, you’ll see that the women’s hairstyle of that era was straight…often rolled on giant coffee cans to achieve the right effect.

The decision to trade in a long-layered hair style for one of the new short hairstyles should be one that any woman makes with the help of her stylist.

Many women choose short hairstyles to add height…something that is especially becoming when middle-age creeps in and things begin to “sag” all over. However, rather than short hairstyles, it’s often true that an updo hair style is a better way to achieve “lift” and height.

Another “plus” about the new short hairstyles is that they can easily be “lengthened” temporarily by the addition of weaves, braids, and hairpieces. It’s easy to change your hip 2004 hairstyle into retro 80’s hair style with just a few hair products…and then change back to your regular short hairstyle.

To help your stylist select one of the new short hairstyles that would be best for you, be sure to bring any photo of the 2004 hairstyle that you’ve seen that “captures” what you’d like to achieve.

And here’s a word of advice: don’t get stuck on any one hairstyle. Short hairstyles, medium hairstyle, and long hairstyle all have a “time and place.”
