Find the Right Style for Your Short Hair at Pure Excellence Hair Design
Sharing preferred hairstyles for short hair is our blog topic this month. With warmer weather approaching fast, many women like to cool off with short hair. Short hair is also the preferred hairstyle among professional women, as we explained in our January blog. If you’re considering going with short hair yourself, Pure Excellence Hair Design can help.
We’ll work with you to choose from various versions of timeless short hair options, with or without bangs. First and foremost, the right styles for short hair depend greatly on the following shape of your face:
- Your face is oval-shaped, consider a bob haircut
- You have a round-shaped face; a pixie cut works best
Go with Bob Cuts for Oval-Shaped Faces, and Pixie Cuts for Rounder
Oval-shaped faces look like upside-down eggs. Heads with oval-shaped faces have wider tops than bottoms. Because of this feature, bob cuts tend to complement oval-shaped faces. Round-shaped faces are as long as they are wide. With round-shaped faces, the jaw has a curve, with the largest width along the cheekbones. Pixie cuts complement round-shaped faces the best.
What are Bob and Pixie Hairstyles?
As we explained in our August 2022 blog, the word “bob” is a Victorian period term. During Victorian times, people cut horses’ tails short or “bobbed.” The term “pixie cut” derives from the way hairstyles looked on artistic renderings of mythical creatures known as pixies. Popular bob and pixie hairstyles for short hair include:
- Blunt Bobs
- Rounded Bobs
- Curly Bobs
- Classic Pixies
- Buzz Cut Pixies
- Wavy Pixies
To Add or Not to Add Bangs? That is the Ultimate Short Hair Question
To add or not to add bangs with short hair is a personal choice. Like the term “bob,” the word “bangs” derives from horse lingo. According to the Oxford dictionary, owners cut horses’ tails in an even, horizontal trim called a “bangtail.” In modern times, humans get “bangs;” they’re styled as fringes of hair lying over one’s forehead. If you decide to try them, side bangs go well with short hair on round-shaped faces. Those with short hair on oval-shaped faces look great with blunt bangs.
