What to Consider Before You Cut

Not every trendy design is meant for every woman. While most women will be able pull off at least one of the many short hairstyles, there are some things you need to think about before you decide which one.

• Your Age- Age does play a factor. Overly trendy cuts of the moment can make a more mature woman look like she trying too hard to look younger than she really is.
• Your Face Shape – Face shape also plays a very important role in determining whether a cut will work on you or not. Instead of just looking at the hair itself when looking at photos you are considering, look at the face shape of the celebrity or model. If you cannot find an example of a hair style on a person with your face shape, there is probably a very good reason.
• Your Lifestyle – Another thing you need to consider when deciding which of the hot short hairstyles you’d like to try for 2009 is your lifestyle and personality type. Some cuts require much more maintenance than others. Be realistic and don’t opt for a design that you will never have the time or patience to maintain. A style that looks as it was intended is always much more attractive than a great cut that is never fixed properly.

What Short Hairstyles Should You Consider?

If your face is thin and angular, go for the super short pixie do sported by fabulous celebs like Victoria Beckham and Alyssa Milano. If these cut seems a little too severe for your tastes, opt for a very short shag instead. This hairstyle is best on round and square face shapes because the longer pieces towards the front help to add needed angles to the face. Ovals should avoid the short shag.

The short bob is definitely one of the hottest cuts for 2009. Celebrities of all ages can be seen sporting a version of the short bob including Paris Hilton and Kelly Clarkson. The 2009 bob does not have to be worn straight. Curly and wavy versions of this hairstyle are also very popular this year. This is a great style for almost every face shape except those that are very round. It is also very low maintenance and can be styled in a variety of ways for different looks.
