Ready to trade in your long locks for a cool, breezy short hairstyle? Let Linda Miller, our expert hairstylist, guide you through the process. With her advice, you’ll find the perfect short hairstyle that suits your face shape and hair type. Get ready to rock your new look!
Short Hairstyles for Your Face Shape
“Short hairstyles can be flattering for all face shapes,” says Linda. “The key is to balance your face’s proportions and highlight your best features.” For a heart-shaped face, she recommends a chin-length bob with volume around the bottom. If you have a square face, long layers around the face can soften the angles.
Choosing a Style for Your Hair Type
Linda suggests a pixie cut for an oval face, as it can show off your features. For a round face, a layered cut with volume at the crown can create the illusion of a longer face. If you have a long face, a blunt cut with volume at the sides can help.
