That’s where expert guidance comes in! Our professional hairstylists have put together essential tips to help you find the perfect cut based on your hair type and face shape.
Short Hair Length
- Crown-length: This is the shortest length of hair that sits just beyond the crown and is often styled as a buzz cut or with layers to prevent bulkiness. Popular cuts include the textured pixie (oval, heart, diamond faces), crown-length bob (square, oval faces), and curly crown cut (oval, diamond faces). It suits fine, thick, and wavy hair,whilecurly hair benefits from layering for better shape.
- Ear-length: Ear-length hair falls between the top and bottom of the ear and suits most face shapes and hair types. Some of the recommended cuts include the classic pixie which works best for fine to medium hair (oval, heart, and square faces), the ear-length bob, and shaggy bob which are ideal styles for straight or wavy hair (oval, diamond, and square faces), and the curly crop (oval and diamond faces).
- Chin-length: Another short hairstyle, chin length hair falls just at or below the jaw line. A classic bob, which is a well-structured look, works on oval, diamond, and square face shapes. The shaggy bobworks on round, oval, and heart face shapes. Then there is the asymmetrical bob that works on square and round face shapes.
Medium Hair Length
- Shoulder-length: This hair length falls right at or just below the shoulder and suits all face types and hair types. Some popular shoulder-length haircuts include blunt, shag, and layered shoulder-length cuts.
- Armpit-length: Hair falls just above the chest and below the shoulders, allows for a variety of hairstyles, and suits all face cuts. Popular armpit-length haircuts include the armpit-length blunt, layers cut (including face-framing layers), and the long shag.
Long Hair Length
- Mid-back length: This long hair length is between your shoulder and up to your waist. Being a long hair length, it can work on all face shapes by adding layers or volume where needed. Some popular long haircuts include v-cut, u-cut, mid-back length shag, and a blunt mid-back length haircut.
- Tailbone-length – Tailbone-length hair extends past the lower back, reaching the tailbone. This ultra-long length creates a striking, dramatic look but requires more maintenance to keep it healthy and manageable. It suits most face shapes and hair types. Some of the more popular tailbone-length haircuts include v-cut, u-cut, and layered cut (including feathered layers).
