Super short haircuts for women: who is suitable and how to choose?
Many women, due to personal circumstances, decide on a radical change of image. First of all, such "innovations" concern exactly the hair. Sometimes, in order to drastically change the style, it is enough to make an original and daring hairstyle. Very short haircuts are very popular today. They can be made in different variations and look simply amazing on blondes and brunettes.
Specific traits
Short hairstyles are especially relevant for women with fine hair.
Such a haircut visually masks the imperfection of the hair and allows its owner to forget about the shortcoming.
Also, the following nuances can be attributed to the characteristic features of such hairstyles.
- Super short hair does not require frequent shampooing and is easy to style.
- They have no age restrictions and noticeably "refresh" mature ladies.
- Suitable for any female look (from sporty to romantic).
- Relevant for any color of hair. In addition, highlighting, coloring, as well as complex coloring look beautiful on ultra-short haircuts.
These hairstyles are almost universal, but "contraindications" are still present.
Who are they suitable for?
Short haircuts are chosen by bold and risky young ladies who are not afraid to “bare” their face as much as possible. They look especially beautiful:
- on owners of oval and round face shapes;
- on women with expressive eyes and lips;
- on ladies with a beautiful skull shape, a miniature nose and a neat chin;
- on enchantresses with curly hair.
However, keep in mind that ultra-short haircuts can "emphasize" imperfect facial proportions (sharp cheekbones, large nose and protruding ears), as well as problem areas of the skin.
Also, keep an eye on the condition of your scalp. Dandruff is especially noticeable on hair that is short. Before you decide to shorten your hair as much as possible, clean it up with nourishing masks and revitalizing balms.
When choosing one or another super short hairstyle, pay attention to the following tips.
- For mature ladies, it is better to choose a more feminine version of a short haircut (without torn ends and excessive graduation).
- Coloring will help to give the desired volume to short hair. For example, brunettes can do complex coloring (ombre, highlighting).
- Haircuts with the main volume on the back of the head are suitable for chubby ladies.
- The elongated bangs will perfectly "hide" a too elongated chin.
- For owners of a square face, asymmetric strands and a voluminous crown are recommended.
Making a choice
Very short haircuts are suitable for any hair color. Visually, a short hairstyle on light hair will look more voluminous. Therefore, a haircut with elongated curls on the top of the head is suitable for brunettes.
Super short haircuts include the following variations.
- Pixie. A perky and bold haircut, which is conventionally divided into two types: the master makes a sharp transition from long strands to short ones, or shaves off the temples (or the back of the head). It does not require complicated styling and is ideal for young enchantresses and adult ladies.
- Iroquois. Quite an extravagant hairstyle that will make any woman stand out from the crowd. The bulk of the hair is concentrated on the crown, and the curls are shaved off the lateral parts. Styling a mohawk involves "lifting" the front strands with styling products (wax, gel, varnish). This haircut represents freedom and a positive outlook on the world around us.
- "Hedgehog". This hairstyle (especially without bangs) is popular with women with an active lifestyle. Mostly sportswomen and businesswoman prefer her. Short hair "hedgehog" looks very stylish and original. All you need to style them is a little gel or wax.
- Tom Boy (Tomboy). The haircut is very similar to the man's. She is preferred by strong, independent women who prefer a business or sports style of clothing. The classic Tom Boy is created by cutting the strands with a folding razor (the back of the head is completely shaved off).
- Garson. A bold yet elegant hairstyle. Garson for short hair means the minimum length of hair along all lines (from the back of the head to the temple). As a rule, such a haircut implies the presence of oblique bangs (on the side).
Also, "Extreme" can be attributed to fashionable haircuts for very short hair. She is chosen by emotional young ladies who like to experiment with their appearance. This hairstyle implies short strands at the back of the head and temples, and the "forelock" is curled and laid back with the help of a curling iron or curlers.
In addition, super short haircuts: page, hat, twiggy and dandy will be an excellent solution.
Do you need bangs?
Ultra-short hairstyles go well with bangs in different designs. They can be straight, oblique, asymmetrical and with ragged ends. Special attention should be paid to ultra-short haircuts without bangs.
They are suitable for ladies with expressive eyebrows and mobile facial expressions. The short bangs expose the forehead and also make the look lively and radiant.
Note that the ultra-short haircut opens, in addition to the face, the neck and shoulders. Therefore, to create a harmonious, holistic image, it is necessary to do the right makeup and choose accessories. Massive earrings and necklaces are combined very beautifully with short haircuts. Make-up for everyday "wear" can be made more natural, and for special occasions it is better to focus on the eyebrows and eyes.
