Here are a few tips to consider when selecting the perfect short hairstyle…

With an array of shades that scream “old Hollywood” like blonde and honey-brown hues, to foxy tints of blue and platinum, there’s a color for everyone! Ultimately, have fun and don’t be coy with expressing yourself through colors and tints.
#3. Textures and styles
When it comes to the texture of your hair, you’re absolutely in control of the short hairstyle you choose. You can revel in different styles from the powerful natural afro and kinky curls, to the good old 90s bowl cut or a wet and wispy fix.
