Short hair is so popular this year that several short haircuts also appear in my list of the 20 Hottest Hairstyles of 2013. But which of these popular cuts best suit your face shape and hair texture?
Almost everyone can get away with a short hairstyle. Some styles work
better with certain face shapes and hair textures. For example, your
haircut should give you the illusion of having an oval face shape. So if
you have a round face you'll want to elongate it and if you have a
square face, you want to soften your jawline.
If you search for "shag hairstyles" on the Internet, what comes up is a
lot of dated, rocker girl hairstyles with lots of layers. They remind me
of 80s hair bands -- a sort of mullet hairstyle gone bad.
But the modern shag hairstyle doesn't resemble a mullet and shouldn't
remind one of the 80s. What they have in common with those hairstyles of
the past are mussiness, choppy ends and layering. The modern shag,
however, isn't quite as layered.
