Short hairstyles have been popular
for women since the 1920's. Louise Brooks's bob hairstyle in 1917 became
the most popular hairstyle of the 1920's. Women of this time period
threw out their corsets as they ventured out on a quest for freedom and
they began cutting their hair short. Short hair became the new hairstyle
for women as they entered the workforce. Short hair has long sense been
a symbol of freedom and professionalism for women.
Short hairstyles are fun, sexy, flirty, and easy to take care of.
Considering face shape and personality are important when considering a
short hairstyle. An oval shaped face really suits any style of hair,
while a heart shaped face my look fuller at the chin with a layered bob
hairstyle that has ends that flick outward at the bottom. A square face
can be softened with layers and soft curls and an off centered part can
help break up the symmetry. A round face does well with a feathered cut
and layers coming forward to help slim down a fuller looking face. Bangs
help to disguise a long forehead on a long face while a chin length cut
will help to add volume and fullness to help broaden the face.
