Now that long extensions have got ‘the chop’ from fashionable hair designs, you absolutely need to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in simple and easy short hairstyles!

Short haircuts are sweeping through the best, new celebrity looks and that means they are super-hot!

If you fancy a pixie cut, ask for lots of layers that can be styled for face lengthening volume on top and around the crown, with the hair tapered down to be close to the head at the sides.

Simple and easy short hairstyles tailored-to-fit

Heart-shaped faces can easily be balanced by a flattering simple and easy short hairstyle, such as a chin-length bob.

If your forehead is too wide, ask for a fringe that curves downwards at the temples, from an arched shape that’s shortest in the centre of the forehead.

Or you can have a fringe that’s parted in the centre, which will also focus on the middle of your face and help diminish forehead width.

And to downplay a narrow chin, get a chin-length shag or bob cut and just flick-up the hair on either side of the chin to create the illusion of more width.

Long or square faces

Long or squarish faces look great with a chin-length bob styled for round volume at the sides. This can be a smooth, curved line that moves in at chin-level, big round curls or edgy twistywaves adding width at cheekbone level.
