Everyone thinks about going short from one time or another, whether it’s when you see your favorite star sporting a new do or just someone you pass on the street.

Follow these guidelines to help you decide whether or not a short hair cut is for you.
 
Before even thinking about the style you need to think about your personal self image… Think about WHO you want to be, are you thinking? Do you think of yourself with long flowing hair, if so then don’t cut your hair, you WILL regret it. Also make sure that you are ready for the change because you want to cut it short, not because someone told you to. Do not do it because it is trendy or you saw it on someone else and want to achieve the same effect, because everyone looks different. Never get a short hair cut for emotional reasons. Having a bad hair day? Do not cut your hair off in anger. If you do, you may end up fighting with dreaded tresses that are much too short for your particular style. Instead, go for a trim or a style that is just slightly shorter than the one you already have.
