ROCK YOUR CHOP WITH STYLE
Are you ready to rock the chop? Come winter or summer, there’s always a case to make for short hairstyles. During winter, short hair works best when you’re wearing chunky turtlenecks and trying to avoid catching long hair strands in your parka zipper. And in summer, short hair is cool, easy to maintain, and versatile.
So, take the plunge: step out of your comfort zone and sport a brand-new chop. If models and moguls can do it, then so can you! From layered bobs to blunt bobs, classic crops, and perfect pixie cuts, there’s a short hairstyle to suit your hair type and face shape.
If you’re feeling a little nervous about chopping your locks, remember these three things
- Short hair is empowering
There is something adrenalin boosting when sitting in your stylists’ chair watching five inches of hair falling to the floor.
- It’s exciting
Change is scary, especially when thinking about chopping off your hair – but it can also be exhilarating, anticipating the new you with a brand-new style and blowout.
- It grows back
Yes, we know it’s a cliché, but it’s true.
TRESemme’s Styling Volume and Lift Mousse and Styling Extra Control Mousse offer everything you need to keep your sexy new short look perfectly styled.
The bob
There’s a short hairstyle to suit everyone. One of the most popular is the bob. Bob haircuts can be chic and contemporary and are perfect for any colour and hair type. From layered to choppy, shaggy to asymmetrical, the iconic bob is here to stay.
The Pixie haircut
Now this one requires some serious commitment, so perhaps that’s why it’s the ultimate Hollywood look. It signals confidence and highlights your cheekbones (no illuminator needed). It does require some upkeep, but pixie cuts are wearable on just about everyone. You’re going to want to keep your TRESemmé multi-tasking hair mousse on hand to give your pixie that slick and shiny look, or even volumised and bouncy. It’s formulated to work with your style without leaving stickiness or crunch.
Choose the right cut for your age
We often hear the question, “Won’t short hair make me look older?” The right haircut can make all the difference when it comes to your look, especially as you get older. For every great haircut that emphasises your bone structure, hides fine lines, and gets people stopping you to ask where you got it done, there are some unflattering cuts that might be adding years to your look. So, make sure you know what to ask for before you make the chop.
Women over 50 can still rock modern hairstyles. Just follow some simple rules to ensure a glamorous look.
- Comb your locks back to open up your face; avoid shaggy hairstyles as they may appear untidy and awkward on more mature women.
- Bangs are fine since they make you look younger but keep them neat and thin or styled to one side so that your forehead is not completely covered.
- Stick to general recommendations on how to choose a hairstyle for your face shape and hair texture. For example, fine hair looks cuter when cut short and layered, while thick coarse tresses feel better in elongated cuts.
Bobs, in all their shapes and styles, and highlighted Pixie cuts are among short haircuts for the 50-somethings that will never go out of style. It doesn’t matter how old you are! Feel vibrant with short hairstyles, and add some highlights for additional dimension and va-va-voom.
