I agree with you Karen. The oval face and good cheekbones and features makes short hair better. If you have pretty eyes and wear makeup that helps also. You should also accesorize proper. Like a nice pair of ear rings. Skinny faces or faces that are too fat might not look as good in a short crop style.
One question I get asked all the time via email is what is the best face shape to wear super short hair...like the pixie/crop. Of course there should never be any ironclad rules about how anyone wears their hair, as long as they love it and feel confident in it, but some people still want to know the general suggestions.
Most stylists will tend to recommend the super short cuts (crop/pixie/chop) for people with oval faces and good cheekbones & eyes. Halle Berry has a wonderful oval face with big eyes and good cheekbones and of course she looks stunning in her super short cap of soft curls and spikes.
Many stylists will also say that people with heart shaped faces (Reese Witherspoon) and people with some oblong shapes look good in short hair, as a general rule of thumb.
Short hair can look great on just about any face shape but for some shapes like strong squares with prominent square jaws, short hair should be worn a little longer than a pixie or cut in a shaggy style to help soften the jaw area and de-emphasize the blockiness that the chin can take on.
Round faces can also benefit from short looks that have longer pieces around the chin area.
Long thin faces can look great in styles that add width along the sides such as a fuller bob or a shaggy cut.
Please share your own thoughts on the short styles that you love on various face shapes.
