When you’re looking to cut your long hair short or want to refresh your short haircut, it’s a good idea to choose a hairstyle that will flatter your face shape. Whether you have a round, long, oval, square or heart-shaped face, there will be styles that look good on you and others that may not be as flattering.
The good news is that almost any trend will work for any face shape, you just have to get the right cut. For example, the pixie usually doesn’t flatter a round face. However, it can look great if you elongate your face by wearing a short fringe that stands up or leave it nice and long in a side sweep.
The texture of your hair also plays a role in choosing a flattering haircut. The density and texture of your hair can dictate your hairstyle, the length of your hair and the way your hairstylist cuts your hair. Curly hair won’t work with every short hairstyle, but neither will super fine, flat hair.
When it comes to short haircuts in particular, your personality plays a huge role. Think about what goes through your mind when you see a woman with a structured bob or a fashion-forward haircut.
You’re probably making a judgment about her, whether you like it or not. Many automatically think that a woman with a bold haircut must be cool while a woman with a structured bob is sophisticated.
