Short Hair Cutss - This is the only place you need for short hair cuts
Before you browse our gallery we recommend that you read through the advice on choosing a short hair cut that will compliment your face shape.
To determine your best short hairstyles for you firstly you need to determine what shape your face actually is. It may not be one exact type, in fact it will more than likely be a mixture of two or maybe even more but it should resemble one more the others
In front of a mirror, pull your hair off your face by wetting it and combing it back or tying it at the back.
Take a pace away from the mirror or, use a photograph of yourself facing straight into the camera with your hair off your face as above.
Draw an outline of your face with lipstick on the mirror, on transparent paper or on the photo itself.
Now look at your outline and compare it to the options (short synopsis is below)
Square
- straight hairline,
angular jaw with wide face
Your hairstyle should
try to soften the sharp angle of your jaw line and minimize a squared-off
forhead look. Hairstyles that emphasize the cheekbones are most flattering, so
short layers (cut into longer hair) that swing foreward onto cheekbones will
look great.
Triangular
or Pear -
wide chin and narrow forehead
When choosing a style
for this face shape, you should seek on a look that narrows the chin and widens
the forehead to balance proportions. Wear your hair wide and full at the top
and temples, brushed away from the face and up toward the ears to widen
forehead.
Heart -
narrow jaw line, wider at eyes
If this is your face
shape, you'll want a hairstyle that extenuates the jaw line and narrows at the
eyes. Heart shape faces need a softer, curlier style. a chin length look is perfect.
The objective is to create width around a narrower chin. Side slanted waves draw
attention away from the jaw line. Best looks are full curly / wavy bouncy. Your
hair type will also determine the best style.
Oblong
- Long and
slender, about the same width at forehead and just below cheekbones. May have a
very narrow chin or a very high forehead.
Hairstyles for this face shape should add
width and fullness to the sides of the face and around the eyes, cheekbones and
ears. This shape benefits from a low side parting, with a sweep of hair brushed
across the forehead and secured with a butterfly clip.
