When To Trim

Have you ever wondered how you’d look with short hair? Have you even been so bored or frustrated with your long locks that you’ve wanted to just cut off all of your length? Going short is a very big decision so it’s important to consider a few things before you decide to take the plunge.

First of all, you have to truly be ready for such a drastic change on many levels, including emotionally. Cutting off your hair is not something that should happen on a whim and should take some thought and planning on your part.

If this is something that you might be interested in, consult with your hairdresser to see what they think. Show examples of what you’re thinking and discuss your options but be open to their suggestions as to what’s best for your face shape and features, as well as what your hair can actually do. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach with short hairstyles and they should be customized to fit your physical features.

You also need to take into consideration the increased amount of upkeep and effort needed each day to style. When your hair is short, you will need to have trims on a more regular basis. That’s just a fact, so be sure you are ready for it. Also, not all hair types are easier to style when they are cut short so take your hair density, condition, texture, and any problem areas (like cowlicks or difficult hairlines) into consideration, as well as how much effort you are willing to put into styling your hair every day. Be sure to ask all of these questions and be truly okay with the answers before deciding to cut.
