How to look feminine with short hair: the hairstyle

The first rule to look feminine with short hair is getting the right haircut. You need to consider two elements in order to get the perfect haircut: the hairstylist and your face type.

A great hairstylist will not only cut your hair in a fabulous way, but will also recommend a haircut that goes well with your face type. Here is a little guide on which short hairstyles go well with each face type so that you can nail the art of looking feminine with short hair. First of all, you can find out whether short hair suit you.

Heart shaped face and inverted triangle face: these face types have wide cheeks and narrow chin. The perfect short hairstyle for such faces is a long graduated bob and bobs with bangs. However, you should be careful and avoid bangs that look too heavy as well as one length bobs.

Long face: if you have a long face you have broad cheekbones, strong jaw, long forehead and your face is quite narrow. The short hairstyles for you are those that create volume and do not elongate the face further. Get a layered and voluminous haircut. It can be as short as you like. What you should definitely avoid is a undercut pageboy style.

Square face: a square face has forehead, cheekbones and jaw of the same width. Contrary to round faces, the face features are quite angular and sharp. The perfect short haircut for square faces is the angled bob with long layers at the front to give a sense of length. To disguise the strong jaws, choose haircuts that fall below the jaws, even if they are super short at the back. To look feminine with short hair if you have a square face you should choose haircuts that are quite feminine, because of your strong face features. Avoid masculine pixie cuts.

Round face: similar to a square face but with softer features, more round. The best short haircut for a round face is a Mohawk hairstyle that creates length at the top of the head and elongates the face. Another good haircut is a angled bob, longer at the front. Haircuts to be avoided are circular, same length bobs, pixie cuts without a Mohawk, and fringes.

Triangle face: when your jaws are wider than your forehead. The best short hairstyle for you is an inverted bob, but not cut at the same level as the chin. You can also opt for very short hairstyles, but with volume at the top, even afro cuts are good for you. What you need to avoid are licked back styles, pageboy and framed cuts.

Oval face: you can get any haircut you want, even a super short pixie!

Now that you nailed the haircut, here are more ways to look feminine with short hair.
