While men's hair is getting longer, women's cuts are getting shorter, and the big trend for modern women seems to be the short cut.
It's often said that the switch to short hair marks a change of life, a new beginning or an important decision, but the change of season, with the arrival of warmer weather, also often makes you want to refresh your cut and shorten your lengths.
Back on trend in recent seasons, the short haircut has made a comeback on the red carpets. It's often quite a hair revolution, however, and the change needs to be taken on board and thought through.
To make the best choice, follow the advice of your hairdresser, Christophe Nicolas Biot, for a successful change...
The trendy short cut
To make the leap from long to short hair, the most daring women will opt for a radical change, but taking your time and go slowly is 
probably the best advice we can give you. Going for a mid-short cut or short bob allows you to get used to shorter hair. Indeed, when you go from long to short, everything changes... from the way you move your head to hair care, but also the way you run your hand through your hair, play with it, and even get ready in the morning.
The woman with the new haircut will have to assume and manage the image reflected in the mirror, and it's sometimes easier to start with a medium-length bob before taking the plunge into a very short bob.
To change cut
The best way to find out which short haircut to adopt is to ask your hairdresser for advice. He's the expert, don't forget! Not only is the shape of your face important, but also your lifestyle, hair type and color...
Short cut, morphology and character
The right question is whether short hair is suitable for everyone. Before taking morphology alone into account, you also need to consider your own character. Indeed, while some women will have no trouble revealing a few flaws with their short hair, others, with perfectly adapted faces, will be too shy to adopt a short cut.
As hairstylist Christophe-Nicolas Biot explains, short haircuts don't suit everyone, and women "lay themselves bare " when they cut their hair. However, it's important to distinguish between short bobs, medium-short cuts and very short, almost androgynous cuts.
Short cut and color
For Christophe Nicolas Biot, the right hair color is above all one that goes well with the complexion!
However, on a short cut, a uniform color gives depth and a feeling of thickness and volume, ideal for fine hair.
Conversely, on thick hair, the ideal is to create contrasts by accentuating darker or lighter roots.
Contouring, on the other hand, adds relief and light to facial contours using sweeping strokes.
Des « coups de soleil » sur les longueurs et pointes permettront de souligner les mouvements d’une coupe et ainsi de créer de la légèreté.
Embracing the short haircut
Short hair generally looks good on fine faces and flawless skin, but some women with rounder faces assume and wear short hair very well. It's all a question of character. On the other hand, it won't suit a woman with a complex about her face, nose or ears.
De même, la silhouette a son importance. La coiffure courte met en valeur les traits du visage mais attire aussi les regards et se sentir bien dans sa peau semble un prérequis. Le court est généralement plus flatteur sur les petits gabarits aux traits fins mais si une femme au visage rond et hanches larges assume totalement sa coupe courte, il ne faut pas hésiter, car cela affirmera son caractère aux yeux de tous.
Contrary to popular belief, the short haircut remains extremely feminine and sexy, revealing the nape of the neck and highlighting the eyes while rejuvenating the face. This cut is often the hallmark of women with character who know how to assert themselves. All you need to do is live up to that reputation!
Which short cut for which face?
- Round face : a long square to give balance to the face.
- Visage ovale : un carré rond bien dessiné au niveau de la nuque et englobant le menton de façon à « casser » le coté trop ovale du visage.
- Square face: short, tapered cut, with long strands at the nape of the neck and also on the forehead and ears, to add softness, or a little Audrey Tautou-style square.
- Long face: bob hair at the nape of the neck to create round volume.
Short cut, the right care
Don't be fooled into thinking that only long hair can be maintained... While a short haircut only requires a few minutes of daily blow-drying, it does mean that every four to six weeks you have to go under the hairdresser's scissors for compulsory maintenance, otherwise unsightly volume will set in.
Similarly, if you want to regain length, a visit to the hairdresser will be necessary to harmonize volumes and find the best hairstyle to adopt during the regrowth period.
Contrary to popular belief, having a short haircut doesn't mean less attention..... and styling care will help to style and texturize the cut. In addition, moisturizing treatments are still essential, as is using the right shampoo and regularly applying a mask.
Which short cut for which hair, by Christophe Nicolas Biot
- fine hair: the short, boyish cut is ideal for this type of hair. It often allows wearers to experience short hair in a sporty, relaxed way, à la Cara Delevingne for the more daring, or à la Sharon Stone for the more classic.
- Wavy hair: style wavy, Vanessa Paradis-style, with a slightly layered mid-length bob.
- curly hair: I like the ball look, accentuated if possible like an afro ball.
- thick hair: with this type of hair, I like a wild, unstructured bob with loose strands.
