First of all, you need to be willing to trade low maintenance on a daily basis for higher maintenance in terms of haircuts. Short hair needs to be cut more frequently to maintain its shape. If you are thinking of switching to short hair but are used to 8-12 weeks between , be warned that your new short hairstyle may require cuts as frequently as every four weeks.
Second, take your size into consideration. While short hairstyles look wonderful on petite women, they can look disproportionate on taller or heavier women. Age can also make a difference; certain short haircuts such as the gamine give a very girlish appearance, so if you’re a much more mature woman, make sure you choose a mature version of a short haircut!
