The Best Short Hairstyles For Your Face Shape
By KELLI CATANA
The Pixie Cut
This cute haircut looks great on a variety of different face shapes, especially those with a round, oval, or heart-shaped face. If you’re looking to give the appearance of symmetry, using your hair to add volume in certain areas to balance out your features is a great way to do that.
The Lob
If you have a heart-shaped face, a lob haircut may be a super flattering option for you. It’s also a good choice for square-shaped faces; however, if your goal is to downplay a strong jawline, opt for a soft, layered lob to create some softness and length around the face.
The Short Shag
A short shag is a great way to ease yourself into getting a pixie cut, or as a transition style as you grow your hair out. It looks great on diamond, square, rectangular, and round faces, though if you have a round face you may want a bit more length in the back.
Bob With Side Part
This cut is perfect for people with round faces, since according to hairstylist James Ruiz, “The deep side part draws attention away from the symmetry of a round face.” The style also works for oval and diamond faces, especially when cut a bit shorter.
The French Bob
The French bob is one of the season’s hottest hairstyles, and it looks good on just about every face shape. If you’ve been tempted to try this oh-so-chic hairstyle but were afraid it wouldn’t work with your face shape, this is your sign to give it a try!
