If you're tired of styling a mane of hair, or you're looking to make a drastic change to your hair, then you may want to take the plunge and get a short haircut. It's the ultimate commitment to make, and once your stylist makes the first chop, there's no going back. But there are a lot of great reasons to get a short crop. First, if you have lots of long hair, then you may be able to donate it to Locks of Love or another charitable cause. Do your research before hitting the salon to see if you can do some good with those tresses. Then consider your face shape. Is it round? Heart-shaped? Square? Oval? Take into account other physical features like height - tall gals tend to have trouble pulling off a short 'do since a pixie cut cropped close to the head will make the head look like a q-tip.
