Do you currently have long hair and are considering a short style? If this is the case then you may feel slightly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of cuts and styles that you could potentially go for. There are longer length short styles, really short styles and even ones in between and trying to work out which is the right one for you can be nearly impossible.

Generally, after speaking with a hairdresser, you can have some idea of the best short style for you but when it comes down to having your hair cut, only you can decide what you like and what you think looks good.

Hairstyles For Heart Shaped Face

Hairstyles For Heart Shaped Face

When you are looking for hairstyles for heart shaped faces, the most important feature of this style is to bring balance the face. This type of face is very broad at the temples and hairline, gradually tapering down to a small chin. If you have a heart-shaped face, you must avoid slicked-back and short hairstyles which will accentuate the wideness of the temple area and draw the eye to the chin. A medium or long length hairstyle works best to enhance the strong cheekbones that are usually prominent in a heart-shaped face.

Short hair Idea For Heart Shaped Face

To give softness to the face, use side-swept fringe bangs cut in layers beginning at the cheekbone or just below it to create a beautiful frame for the face. Using a multi- layer styling technique with longer bangs that are parted in the middle and begin at the chin will also work wonders to balance the width of the face. What you want is a free-flowing hairstyle around your face and shoulders with plenty of natural body and movement.
Curly hairstyles for heart-shaped faces look best when the cut is designed to accentuate the jaw line to draw attention away from the forehead. Use the natural flow of the curl to create the bangs to frame your eyes. Just as slicked-back hairstyles will accentuate the forehead, be careful not to use hairstyles that bring curls up to the crown area or that focus on the sides of the fact because these cuts will cause your face to look wider.

Pampering Your Short Hair

Pampering Your Short Hair - Summer 2009 Hair Tips

Women have a tendency to spend a lot of money on pampering themselves but one area that can seriously lack in love and attention is hair. Short hair needs just as much care and affection as long hair and without the right care, it can become rather dry and brittle and if the wrong products are used, it can also become rather greasy.

Pamper Your Short Hair

If you have colored short hair then it is a good idea to use a shampoo and conditioner that is specifically designed to protect the color. This not only keeps the color strong and vibrant but also helps to rehydrate the hair as constant coloring and styling can quickly dry it out. It is also a good idea to buy a better brand of shampoo and conditioner every once in a while as a special treat as the cheaper brands can sometimes mean lesser quality.
As well as making sure that you are using the right kind of shampoo and conditioner for your hair, it is also a good idea to invest in hot oil treatments or hair masks every now and again as a real treat. You can make these things at home for a more natural and also cheaper alternative but they can be purchased for fairly cheap and can help to put the nutrients back into the hair as well as making sure that is well looked after.
