Expert Answer

Shorter cuts are better, like a pixie cut or a sleek bob. Using the natural volume that your hair creates is a really great idea—and if you're open to doing it with some sort of texturizing powder or dry shampoo, that's awesome. Try using salt spray and dry shampoo on your wet hair before blow-drying it to give yourself more lift and volume.

I want to cut my hair short, but I'm afraid it won't look good, how can I find a way to be sure about my cut?

Community Answer

Try a wig. It might give you an idea of what your face will look like with short hair.
