Knowing how to identify your face shape is what will determine whether the short haircut you choose will look good on you. Knowing how to harmonize the cut with the features of your face is the right way to enhance your qualities and hide small defects. Short hair is known for the lightness and practicality it provides, not to mention that it shows attitude and is super stylish. Thus, like long hair, it is possible to wear all types of cuts, such as frayed, bob, side bangs, front bangs and much more.
In general, there are 4 face shapes: round, oval, square and triangular and for each of them there is a suitable cut or at least one that most closely matches the profile. Shall we check it out?
ROUND FACE: the forehead is narrower than the jaw and the cheeks are more prominent.
Actresses Milena Toscano and Julia Stiles have round face shapes and chose a cut with longer strands at the front. Side bangs are a way to elongate your face. Cuts below the chin line best suit a round face.
OVAL: the chin and forehead are narrower than the cheeks, that is, the “lines” of the apples are a little wider.
If you have an oval face like Bruna Linzmeyer and Victória Beckham, the Joãozinho style and cuts with volume on the sides and frayed are the best.
SQUARE: the “lines” of the square face are practically straight. The forehead, chin and cheekbone are almost the same width.
The classic bob looks great on this face shape, as do chin-length bangs and frayed ends. Celebrities Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato are examples of the square face shape.
TRIANGULAR (inverted triangle): the lower part (chin) is more evident than the upper part. The forehead is wider and decreases along the face, until the chin is very thin.
Medium or side-swept bangs and chin-length hair are ideal cuts for this face shape, such as Milla Jovovich and Reese Witherspoon.
Despite the beauty and versatility of short hair, if you have long hair and intend to change your look by cutting it short, don’t change it drastically. First cut them at least shoulder length. If you like it and approve, then opt for the short hair you prefer.
