With the throngs of software available
that allows you to try on short hairstyles before you
have them created in real time, you have the option to
try one of those programs.
Why spend the money when you can get the
same results for free? One trick is to find a magazine
with life size images of models that have short
hairstyles you might like. Remove the page from
the magazine - after you buy it of course - and then
carefully cut a hole to remove the model's face.
Carefully place your face into the newly
cut out model and see what you think. It is
actually fun, like playing with paper dolls and it will
give you a great idea of how you might look. Plus it
will say you money on buying software or a service.
There are also free services available
to do the same thing with a computer simulation.
More.com (one of my favorite sites) offers Free
Hairstyler Imaging. Yep, totally free. All
you have to do is sign up. Visit
http://www.more.com/hairstyles/member/. I have
used the program and it works just great.

Other options to view yourself with
short hair before taking the plunge:
1. Wig out
Go with a friend and try on
wigs. Some stores will let you try them on to see
if you like a style before you buy it. Be sure not
to order wigs online and try then and send them back.
Many companies will not accept returns if wigs have been
tried on. However, there are wig stores and large
department stores that offer samples for your free
trial.
2. Simulate A Faux Short Style
Wear your hair pinned up so that it simulates a
short hair style and wear it for several days to see how
you feel.
3. Take A Tam
Tuck your hair under a baseball, newsboy, tam
or other type of hat that exposes only your face.
This will give you an additional prospective.
4. Go Hollywood & Hire Image
Consultant
Book a paid consultation with
an image consultation whose job is to help you redesign
your image. A paid image consultation does not
involve hair cutting. When in doubt ask first.

5. Have Fun With Extension
Course In Image Consulting
Take a short class at a Fun Education or
Extension Course in Image consulting or Makeup
Makeovers. This will give you a chance for a small
investment to get great feedback on what might work
better for you in terms of a hair style.
6. Buddy Up
Ask a friend to spend a few hours going through
the latest hair magazines with you. Pick up styles
that you like and get their honest feedback.
Promise in advance that you won't get upset at the
feedback.
7. Go The Online Gallery Route
Visit the HairBoutique.com online galleries and
print out the images you like. Cut the faces out
and try them over the top of a photo that has a clear
view of your face.
8. Party On
Have a make-up party and ask for suggestions on
what might be a new short hair cut for you.
Summary
Before you decide to go with a new short
chop or crop take some steps to try on a short look
