I'm doing 33 things
Before I chopped my shoulder-length hair down to the do I now sport, I did two (in my opinion) critical things: 1) I signed up on http://www.thehairstyler.com/ and “tried on” dozens of different styles. I especially recommend this site because for each style they give a recommendation as to which hair textures and densities the style will work for. 2) I asked every person with short hair whose style I liked who their stylist was. 3) I didn’t go to my cut appointment dead set on one particular style. I let my stylist mix a few of the styles I printed from http://www.thehairstyler.com/ in order to best accentuate my headshape and features.
I LOVE my short hair for so many reasons, but mostly for how incredibly easy it is for me to style. I can get away without blowdrying (which only takes 5 minutes), as I can “style” it on my way to work by simply running my hands through my hair every few minutes until it dries. I don’t feel like I have to do much to look “put together”. It’s also fun to play around with the style as it grows out. I like to wear handbands as it gets longer, and use different products for different effects (ex., slicking, spiking). I think short hair is just as versatile as long hair.
