Whether it is the rising mercury in the summer or a change in fashion that motivates you to cut your hair short, here are a few things to consider before the scissors get snipping. It is important to consider the shape of your face to decide on the kind of hair cut that will suit it. You also need to consider how short you can cut your hair. Usually all face shapes look great with a short hair cut. The only exception is with a round face, and then a hair cut that ends below the chin is a better idea. In such a case it is best to wear your hair long as it tends to make your face look longer.

Things to consider when you want to get a short hair cut

• Neck and shoulders: If you have a great neck and shoulders to show off then a short hair cut is what you should go for. On the other hand if you have a double chin, a short neck or wide shoulder then it may be best to opt for a haircut that ends at your collarbone or your neck.
• Curly hair: If you have straight hair it would be easier to judge what your hair would look like after a short hair cut. For curly hair, approach a short hair style with caution; short curly hair tends to get curly and fuzzy. Most stylists would recommend a hair cut that ends a few inches below the chin. 
• Texture: Fine and straight hair look great in a short cut as it gives the hair bounce. A layered cut and an asymmetrical bob looks great with straight hair.  If the texture of your hair is coarse opt for a hairstyle that gives it volume and softens the look.  
• Your body size: If you are very tall then it may be best to stay away from a cut that leaves your hair too short. 
• Virtual help: Use a computer program that takes a picture and helps you visualize how you would look with different hairstyles and cuts. You could also use a picture with a neutral background and cut it to see how you look with a short hair style.
