Transcript:How to Pick a Haircolor for a Short Hairdo

Hi, I'm Valerie Greenberg, entertainment and lifestyle reporter and today I'm here for About.com to help you pick the color for your short hairdo.

Coloring Your Short Hair Red

Why don't we take a look at red.  Red is incredible because it screams I'm here, I'm adventurous, and I'm ready to make a statement. It goes great with fair skin and it goes great if you've got that golden bronze tan. So, don't be afraid to take chance - try something new with red.

 

Coloring Your Short Hair Dark Brown

If red is not for you, deep brown or brown could be a great option. We've seen celebrities like Hallie Berry absolutely look stunning with this option. So, if you have a darker complexion, this might be the perfect option. Deep brown or black is so classic and chic and sexy, it definitely seems like a viable option.

 

Coloring Your Short Hair Blonde

Blonde is a color option that's typically associated with beach, bombshell and barbi.   Blonde is playful, it's sexy, it's flirty, and it can definitely be a viable option for you. We've seen supermodel Agyness Deyn rock it in Vogue and many other fashion forward models.

So, step out of your comfort zone and try something new. You don't have to be in that color family. If you're going to make a bold statement like cutting your hair short, it's definitely a great choice to try something new with a new color.
