When you're looking to cut your long hair short or want to refresh your short haircut, it's good to choose a hairstyle that will flatter your face shape. Whether you have a round, long, oval, square or heart-shaped face, there will be styles that look great on you and others that may not be as flattering.
The good news is that almost every trend will work with every face shape, you just have to get the right cut. For example, the pixie typically doesn't flatter a round face. However, it can be gorgeous if you elongate your face by wearing short bangs that stick up or leave them nice and long in a side-sweep.
Your Hair Texture Matters
Your hair texture plays a role in choosing a flattering haircut as well. Your hair's density and texture may dictate your hairstyle, your hair length, and how your stylist cuts your hair. Curly hair won't work with all short hairstyles, but neither will super fine, flat hair.
Don't Forget Your Personality
When it comes to short haircuts, in particular, your personality plays a huge role. Think about what goes through your mind when you see a woman with a structured bob or an edgy haircut.
You are probably passing some sort of judgment on her, whether you like it or not. Many automatically think a woman with a great edgy cut must be cool while a woman with a structured bob is sophisticated.
Consider also that short hair tends to draw more attention than long hair. If you're going to get a platinum pompadour, people are going to notice.
