Short hair:what cut to adopt?

How to choose your short haircut?

Before picking up the scissors, ask yourself the right questions. What cut do you want? Rather very short or just above the shoulders? Look tidy or wild? With or without bangs? The possibilities are many. In order not to make a mistake in choosing your hairstyle, it is better to think carefully before cutting everything. The shape and features of your face will determine which hairstyle looks best on you. Do not hesitate to ask your hairdresser for advice on choosing the cut that will highlight your features.
If you have a round face, do not cut too short, and choose a low volume cut, with a light layer. If you want to color your hair, opt for an intense color like platinum blonde or raven black.
If you have a square face, feel free to deconstruct to soften the angles of your face. An all-over cut and highlights or coloring in light colors will soften your features.

The different short haircuts

For a rather classic style, do not hesitate to keep a little length. For example, you can flatten them or leave them natural.
If you prefer to give off a rebellious appearance, do not hesitate to adopt the very short cut, even shaved on the sides, with length above.
Finally, for an in-between like Audrey Tautou or Shailene Woodley, choose the tousled cut. Between the too classic and the too rebellious, it will give you a look that is both dynamic and mischievous.
