What are the best short haircuts according to your face shape?

  1. Square-shaped face. Having this type of face means that your jawline is more prominent. That is why, a shoulder-length bob is perfect for you. It covers your jaw and gives you a softer, romantic look.
  2. Heart-shaped face. The perfect haircut for this type of face is the layered cut with a side-sweep, which is going to help you hide a bit of your prominent forehead.
  3. Round-shaped face. The famous pixie cut is perfect for a round face, because it elongates it. The shorter you go, the longer your face would look.
  4. Oval-shaped face. If you have an oval face, you have more liberty with your hairstyle. The angular bob is the perfect fit for this type of face shape. Because of the softness of the oval shape, you can go with bolder straight lines, which will bring some edge to your face.
  5. Long-shaped face. The perfect haircut for this type of face is a side-parted curly bob, which goes just under the chin. The curls will add volume to your face and make it appear rounder.
