Round face
For this face shape, the hairstylist recommends medium or long cuts that can be shredded in layers, layered and with a fringe that, from the nose line downwards, creates vertical volume. These short round face cuts help to smooth out this shape and are great options for those looking to keep their hair long.
The long bob is another great option and is a favorite in hair salons. This technique consists of an asymmetrical cut with the front slightly larger than the base of the neck, this provides a stretch in the look, leaving the face thinner, not to mention that it is a super versatile cut and also combines very well in curly hair.

Sidecut is another asymmetrical cut that works very well on a round face when paired with a side bangs. The hairstyle manages to elongate the face and is super cool. In the sidecut, we usually have one or two sides that are shorter and can even be scraped off.

oval face
When it has soft, delicate corners without prominent corners. It is considered the most proportional and democratic face, that is, it can abuse cuts, as it goes with everything. So the suggestion is to play if you have an oval face and want short hair!
From hair to pixie. What you can’t do is hide your face, so avoid marked bangs and abuse your scissors.

How about a fringe? You may! If you want a big change, choose to adopt the bangs, but remember to opt for frayed bangs that mark less and help to frame the face bringing a youthful air.
Square face
The framed face is one of the most striking and has a broad, strong physiognomy with a broad jaw.
For those who like to make their faces square, the straight or slightly elongated chanel cut is a good option, as it gives a classic look to the hair, emphasizes the shape of the face and leaves a modern look.
To harmonize with the square lines, the chanel with peaked fringe is a good option
For those looking to harmonize a square face with short hair, the ideal is to opt for haircuts with the ends facing the face or frayed and peaked strands pointing towards the chin.
Long bangs can also be a good option for thinning the face, but ideally, the length of bangs is between the height of the nose and mouth.
If you have curly hair, Marco recommends a layered cut, which helps to elongate your face. For frizzy hair, choose the cut that maintains a rounded shape, which distributes volume around the head, which can be short or not.

long face
It is one in which the width line is much shorter than the length line, sometimes with a higher forehead or a larger chin.
For those who want to smooth a long or elongated face, the best option is to bet on cuts that provide more volume at the nose line. For this face, shredded or layered cuts are recommended.

Curly hair already has a great natural volume to balance the elongated face. To harmonize, opt for a medium cut with volume on the sides of the head.

Fringe is an excellent option to soften the face. In this case, opt for a shorter and asymmetrical fringe.
In Afro hair, it is suggested to avoid cuts with volume on the top of the head, as this tends to give a greater impression of stretching on the face.
triangular face
The triangular face is characterized by having a wider jaw line than the forehead line and, to harmonize, the expert indicates more peaked cuts that have more volume at the top of the head and also cuts with greater length in the front.
Fringes are also great suggestions for this type of face. Choose the diagonal fringe or fringe, which are longer.

The peaking from the nose down makes the face look more oval. Medium hair with layered cuts also softens the triangular shape of the face.
For Afro hair, lightly shaved hair on the sides and the black power style are two great options, as they highlight, frame the face and leave a more balanced and cool appearance.

face heart
It is one that has a broad forehead and slightly wider cheekbones, in addition to a sharper chin forming a heart.
To harmonize, the ideal is to opt for medium lengths that end just below the chin or at the shoulder. If you choose to keep your hair long, cut in layers starting from the chin so that the volume resulting from the peaked ends provides movement in the thinnest area of the face.

The slightly frayed side bangs can be an ally because it brings balance to this type of face and smoothes the forehead, which is the most striking area.
Now if the option is to radicalize, bet on the pixie. The suggestion is not to make it too short, but in a size that is possible to style it, such as with a frayed fringe.

How do you know if a short haircut will look good?
To solve the doubt, apply the technique of John Frieda – creator of a famous hair care brand – which is super simple and can solve your problem. Place a ruler below your ear and, with the help of a pencil, you should measure how many centimeters are between the beginning of the ruler and your chin.
After that, just check if the final number is less than 5.5 cm. In this case your face matches a short cut. Now, if the measure is bigger, the best thing is to keep your hair a little longer.
How to style short hair?
Having short hair doesn’t mean that your possibilities to vary your look are over. On the contrary! There are many styles that you can adopt using bobby pins, barrettes, crunchies, buns, or products that modify the texture of the strands, such as leave-in creams or sprays.
short hair in ladies
Some women tend to cut their hair when they get older, this is because they tend to prioritize time with other care for themselves and short hair is a way to save a few hours in the beauty routine.
Who remembers Meryl Streep Almighty in “The Devil Wears Prada”? Short hair for ladies represents experience and wisdom, because they already know very well what they want and there is no longer any doubt: if they want to cut their hair, they do!
