Short Hair in Summertime

Cut your hair short this summer!
What’s the hottest hair trend for spring/summer 2012? Going short! Cameron Diaz recently chopped off her locks, and style mavens are raving about her hot new look.
If you’ve never had short hair, cutting off your length may seem daunting at first. The truth is, short hair looks great on most faces, but you have to get the right length for your face shape.
Short Haircuts You’ll Love
Your face shape and hair texture has a lot to do with the type of short cut you should get. When you come to Salon Helena for a haircut, consider asking for one of these short hair trends.
- Long bob. Also known as the demi-bob, its length falls between the neck and shoulders. This works on most face shapes and can be a great starting point if you have never gone short.
- The bob. This is for people with defined jaw lines rather than round faces. This cut works best on thin or medium hair. Kiera Knightly has worn a bob plenty over the years.
- Pixie cut. Think Michelle Williams and Emma Watson. This cut is great for those with heart-shaped, square and oval faces.
- The spiky cut. If you have spunky style, this is the cut for you. Think Rihanna, Pink and Victoria Beckham. This cut can be as edgy as you want it to be!
