Feel like lopping your locks but not sure whether it will suit the

shape of your face? Then try looking at some pictures of short

hairstyles - it's a great way to narrow down the styles you think

you'll look best with! Start with the internet. Nowadays there are many

sites with pictures of celebrity hairstyles. If you're not sure about

this then start by looking at some of the pictures in hair salon

windows, most salons will have these because they aim to promote the

stylist's work and draw clients in.

You may think that attempts

to discover the perfect style this way are off the wall, but if you go

into the better salons, and are not sure of the style you want, you

will often be handed a book with pictures of different styles. When you

see a style that looks good on someone with similar features and face

shape to yourself, then it's a cert that the style will suit you.

It

may be worth investing in a hairstyling magazine at your local news

stand. These are bound to have pictures of short hairstyles, and you

should be able to find one that you like. Don't be put off by the fact

that models might look better than you, look for similarities. If you

are still not sure then there is another method you can try before you

take the plunge and have your hair cut short.

Let's go back to

the internet…. Some internet sites now have a service where you can

upload a photograph of yourself and try out the different styles

available on the site. You can crop the image and play around with the

styles until you find one that suits you. Instead of looking at

pictures of short hairstyles featuring other people, you will be the

star of the show! Just upload your photo, pick a style you like and in

a few seconds you'll see it on your head - this is probably the best

way of looking at pictures of short hairstyles to see whether they will

suit you.
