Short Hairstyle Tips For Every Face Shape


Thinking of going short with your tresses? Congratulations on choosing a hair length that fully embraces the basic elements of art and design. The perfect short hairstyle works with the lines and angles of your face to create a true work of hair art. From pixie cuts to bobs, there is a short hairstyle out there that will compliment your features. Check out these tips before making the cut.

If you have an oval shaped face, your short hairstyle options are nearly limitless! Your only precaution is to stick with something "light" like a feminine pixie style or angled bob to accentuate your features. Thick bangs or overwhelming waves can really hide an oval face shape instead of accentuate it.

If you have a square shaped face, it is important to find a cut that will soften your look. A blunt cut right at the jaw line will only make the angles of a square face more harsh, so opt for something shorter or longer and add waves or layers for an added softening effect.

A heart shaped face calls for a cut that will accentuate the cheekbones and add a touch of fullness to the jaw. Chin length bobs or angled bobs look great on this face shape. Some shorter styles will work as well but an extremely short cut with volume can make an already narrow shin appear narrower.

Those with a long face should do the exact opposite and keep their cut above the jaw line to help balance out the length and width of the face. A short, side-parted bob is the perfect cut to flatter a long face.


EXTRA TIPS – Chat with your stylist about your hair texture and styling expectations before you make the cut. They can really help you choose the right cut to flatter both your face and your lifestyle. Also talk with them about a color or highlighting technique to really accentuate your new cut and style!
