 Here Are 5 Things You Should Know Before Cutting Your Hair Short


Long hair has long been associated with femininity. But the length of your hair can’t determine how much of a woman you are just because a social construct says so. That’s why cutting your hair can be nothing short of liberating and empowering. A close-cut ‘do not only shreds society’s expectations but is also a whole lot easier to manage. 


If you have picked up your kitchen shears to give yourself a DIY haircut over the sink, we encourage you to take a few minutes. Here’s everything you need to know before cutting your hair short.


Do It For the Right Reasons

Whether you are going through a rough breakup or a difficult period in your life, doing something drastic like cutting your hair can be your way of coping. While dramatically chopping off your tresses may feel good at the moment, the euphoria probably won’t last for long. And then you’ll have to deal with the added stress of a janky haircut on top of everything else.


No doubt getting a short hairdo can help you start fresh. But make sure you give it a thought before doing something that you’ll regret.


Consult a Professional

We have all seen leading ladies in popular movies cutting their hair after heartbreak or as an act of rebellion. And somehow, it always turns out chic. But that’s the power of movie magic. You’ll unlikely get the same results with a dull pair of scissors and a few glasses of wine. Whether you think it’s time to try out bangs or a long bob, let your hairdresser take over. Your hair is better in the hands of a professional who knows what they are doing.


Don’t Cut Off Too Much Too Fast

Like most things in life, it’s better to take it slow when it comes to cutting your hair. Parting with your long locks can be an emotional experience, especially if you’ve never cut your hair short before. If you have waist-length hair, we suggest going for a shoulder-length haircut before cutting it even shorter. You can always go shorter, but it’s not easy to add back length.


Know What Works For You

Pixie, long bob, layered bob, faux hawk and edgy bob are just a few common examples of short haircuts. Talk to your hairdresser and take your time to find which hairstyle flatters your facial features. Just because you saw a model rocking a shaved side doesn’t mean it will suit you. 


Like clothes or makeup, different hairstyles work for different people. Moreover, you also need to consider your hair texture and maintenance requirements for choosing a hairstyle. Some short hairstyles can be extremely time-consuming to style, so make sure you’re up for that kind of commitment.
