I’ve recently had my hair cut, losing seven inches off my beloved length. My first thought (after the initial shock!) was that with the fallen tresses I had lost my femininity. To me, long hair is beautiful – there is something alluring about a glossy tumbling mane and losing that would mean I looked more masculine and butch. However I am now loving my new shorter hair. Not only have people told me it makes me look younger but it is more manageable and versatile. I needn’t have worried as short hair can look sexy – as these images prove. Shattered lines, eyecatching fringes and subtle colour mean short hair can be as feminine and beautiful as its long counterpart. Here are some short styles that caught me eye.
