Short Formal Hairstyles

“Hair brings one's self-image into focus; it is vanity's proving ground. Hair is terribly personal, a tangle of mysterious prejudices” said Shana Alexander. Hair is an ornament for women, which also helps in enhancing their facial features, their style statement and their beauty. Long, silky strands of hair are what have been attributed to an ideal woman’s image that we hold. However, this image is experiencing a whole lot of unconventional changes with women now opting for short haircuts. It is true that not every woman is willing to relinquish her long locks for the sake of convenience, and also women with short haircuts are believed to be bold, confident and different from other women. Another apprehension that many women face while making a decision to go for a short haircut is whether short haircuts will be able to provide enough hairstyles for formal occasions? This article answers this particular apprehensive thought by bringing forth the list of formal short hairstyles.
