If your face tends to be heavier on the jaw line, you should preferably avoid short haircuts that may add to the bulk of the area.
Hair Type or Hair Texture:
Know your hair type before you go in for short hairstyles. It could be curly, straight, wavy or bushy. The kind of short haircut you decide should be easy to maintain. This is because the hair type has to gel well with the cut. For example, a short blunt cut would look really fabulous for straight and sleek hair. It will need no additional touches for it to be maintained on a daily basis. For wavy and thick hair, one can have lot of layers that will make it appear smoother. Lets face it, a pixie cut may look good on the pictures that are splashed on the advertisements, but it definitely doesn’t mean that it would always look great on you.

Colors can really help to enhance the hairstyle and help your very short haircuts look ultra glam, if done professionally.
