Hairstyle Concerns
PROBLEM
“I want to go short, but I’m worried it won’t flatter the shape of my head.” “The back of my head looks flat, and the silhouette from the side just doesn’t look right.” “The nape of my neck looks heavy, and the sides puff out, so I feel like short hair doesn’t suit me.” Here are some short hairstyles for mature women that we recommend for those with these concerns.
SOLUTION
Layers are added to complement your bone structure, hair texture, and natural growth pattern, and the cut is designed to create a natural roundness at the back of the head. While keeping the nape clean and neat, the cut adds definition to the silhouette that flows from the top to the back of the head. By balancing sections that retain volume with those that are lightened, we achieve both a fluffy, three-dimensional look and a soft flow of hair. The result is a sophisticated short bob that looks beautiful from every angle—whether viewed from the side or from behind. We tailor each style to the individual’s hair condition, aiming for a look that holds its shape easily even when blow-dried.

A Sophisticated Short Cut That Flatters Your Profile with a Rounded Back and Tapered Nape “When I go short, the back of my head ends up looking flat.” “The nape looks heavy, and I can’t get a clean silhouette.” “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more concerned about my hair’s volume and manageability.” For mature women with these concerns, we recommend a short bob tailored to your bone structure and hair texture. With this style, we aimed for a silhouette that looks beautiful from the side and from behind by creating a natural roundness at the back of the head while neatly defining the nape. During the cut, we adjusted the layers while carefully considering the shape of the head, the direction of hair growth, and the balance of hair volume. We created a soft, three-dimensional look from the top to the back of the head, while leaving gentle movement at the ends. With short hair, it’s not just about cutting it short—the impression changes depending on where you maintain the roundness, the length of the nape, and where you adjust the volume. If you make areas that need weight too light, the hair can become difficult to manage, so it’s important to tailor the cut to each individual’s hair texture and facial structure. Additionally, issues like frizz or a lack of volume aren’t always just about hair texture—they can also be related to the shape of the cut and the balance of hair volume. “I want to go short, but I don’t know what style would suit me.” “I want some roundness at the back of my head.” “I want a clean look at the nape, but I also want to retain a feminine softness.” If this sounds like you, please feel free to consult with us. For women in their prime looking for short bobs or short hairstyles in Omotesando, we’ll propose styles tailored to your facial structure, hair texture, and daily hair care routine.
