Short Hair Cuts

Short hair cuts reflect self-assurance, readiness to take new challenges.
Short hair shows you are cool, confident, in control, and too busy to spend hours fussing with your hair.

Great things about short hair cuts

  • Short hair is sexy. A man will see you and your personality.
  • Well-cut short hair emphasises femininity, especially if you get chunky layers and softness cut into the style.
  • Your hair looks thicker and more glossy. Shorter hair looks healthier than the dull, damaged ends of longer hair. It’s a good choice for women with fine hair.
  • Short hair is easy to manage. You just step into it and go.
  • You can look younger. Wrinkles are emphasised by the straight lines of long hair, but the softer shape of short hair makes them less obvious.

    Common Dos and Don’ts:

    Don’t use any rubber band to the keep hair off your face. Rubber bands tend to break or split hair. Instead use a scrunchy or a fabric coated elastic band.

    Don’t brush wet hair too harshly because it’s three times weaker and more likely to break off mid-strand. Towel dry hair first, then gently detangle using a wide toothcomb.

    Oil your hair before every wash. Massage oil well into the scalp and keep for a minimum of half-hour. This keeps your scalp nourished and conditioned.

    Avoid over-conditioning. Excessive use of conditioner can damage your hair and cause split-ends.

    Beautiful Hair Highlights At Home

    Highlights consist of selecting small or thick strands of hair that are then lightened at least 2 shades lighter than the rest of your hair. Highlights should compliment your natural or artificial color. You should never go more than 3 shades lighter then the rest of your hair color. The object of highlighting is to give you a sun-kissed look and to bring depth and light to your overall color.

    So if you want to achieve salon perfect results at home when you highlight your hair, here's what the pros say:

    • Use a clarifying shampoo on your hair at least two days before coloring.

    • Never shampoo the day you color.

    • Check the expiration date on the package. And once you mix the color, use it right away!

    • Toss out the brush that comes in the box and buy flat 1/2 and 1/4 inch acrylic brushes. These brushes, used by artists, are available at art supply stores (they'll give you better control and more natural-looking results)

    • Make sure you have on hand a pair of good, tight-fitting latex gloves (the ones that come in the package don't always fit well).

    • Start from the back of your head and work forward. By working from back to front, you won't smear the pieces in front by having to reach over them to do the back.

    • Apply the highlights only to the top layers of your hair. By leaving the hair underneath alone, you'll create depth and a sun-kissed look that looks completely natural!
