Oh long hair. So blase, boring, so ... yesterday. It's a myth that all men prefer long hair. More and more women are going short because they like the attitude that goes with short hair. Short hair means strong, playful, sophisticated, urban and sexy. Long hair is status quo, and who wants to be cookie cutter, anyway?
How to Tell If Short Hair Suits You
Not everyone can wear short hair (more on that down below). Find out with this fun, quick tip if a short haircut would suit you.
The Most Popular Short Cut: It's All About Bob
The bob continues to be one of the most trendy of hairstyles at the moment.
Bobs make your features the center of attention. They look best on women with good bone structure. If you have a round face, consider a longer bob. The long bob, popularized by celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow and Heidi Klum, is an excellent option for women with round faces. See photos of the long bob.
With the right haircut, a bob will grow out nicely. I get my hair cut super short and the cut lasts me 3 months, saving me tons of money at the salon. Why? It grows out into the cutest long bob.

What Short Hairstyles Best Suit Your Face Shape?
Not all face shapes are suited to short hair.
The round face is the trickiest face shape for short hair. If you have a round face, consider a short cut that ends an inch or two below the jawbone. Request a few long layers, like this cut on Katie Holmes.
High forehead? Short cuts work well for women with large foreheads, as long as you get a version with blunt or side-swept bangs like this one.
Chin-length hairstyles work best on women with square jaws, because they soften the jaw.

Can You Wear a Super-Short Hairstyle?
As a tall woman, I would never, ever get a super-short hairstyle because I don't want to be a pinhead. Women who are petite look great with super-short cuts. Avoid a super short hairstyle if you are very overweight. You want more hair to balance out your body.
What Hair Textures Work Best With Short Hair?
If you have straight hair, you're in luck. A short hairstyle will be easy for you to maintain with little fuss. Invest in a few volumizers so hair doesn't fall flat.
If you have wavy hair, you may require a blowdryer and flat iron.
Curly hair? Reconsider your quest for short hair. Curly hair tends to frizz up when cut short and it can make hair too triangular. Try to stay a couple inches lower than the jaw.

Consider your maintenance
Not all short haircuts are low-maintenance. They're actually the hardest cuts to maintain, which is something to consider when getting your hair cut. You must get them trimmed every six weeks, they take styling products to keep them in check and you may have to invest in a flat-iron to keep waves at bay.
