Can people who aren't skinny pull off short hair?

This sounds stupid.. but do you think you have to be super skinny to pull off a short haircut? Would like a pixie haircut look terrible on a slightly bigger person.. not fat or huge.. just not skinny?

Answer #1

Yeah, I was just wondering because I read in a magazine that if you are ‘curvey’ then short hair is not the way to go because it will make you look bigger. But that was a magazine so yeah :) Thanks for the advice xx

Answer #2

I’m thinking it might have more to do with head shape and jaw line, no? I mean a pixie cut on a thin girl with a pumpkin head would look terrible. Although I’ll confess thats hard to imagine…

Answer #3

the size or your body has nothi ng to do with your hair. and it shouldnt anyway. a haircut is usually based on your jaw line, face and shape to get the right cut, also on personality and what you want. dont think that you have to be a size 0 to pull off all the good things. because you dont. and people eho are a size 0 cant pull them off anyway

Answer #4

It is facial shape, as pinkpearl above said, that really determines what looks good and what doesn’t. I am chunky, and have my hair cut short and sort of spiky and it looks better on me than when I had the short hair. I have a daughter-in-law who is very heavy, and she had long, long hair. It flatters her, but only because of her face shape. Find out what shape your face is and then start doing some research on line. There are a lot of sites that will show you what cuts work on what shaped face. Hope you love the cut you decide on!

Answer #5

OMG, lol, sometimes these magazines have a lot to answer for. I read once that if you’re under 5 ft 3 you should never wear long jackets or coats, just short ones. It’s always bothered me in the back of my mind but I’ve always disobeyed the rule, how idiotic is that?

Answer #6

Body shape doesn’t effect your hairstyle hun, its your face shape that does.

Answer #7

NOOO THAT DOESNT MATTER WUT MATTERS IS WUT THE girl SAID IS JUST THE JAW LINE

Answer #8

I think it would look really good.
