Short haircuts by face shape

Oval faces can explore the full range. Square faces usually look best with softness around the jaw. Round faces benefit from vertical lift and side movement. Heart faces often need balance near the chin, while oblong faces should avoid adding too much height.

Maintenance for short hair

Most short styles need a trim every 4-6 weeks. If you want a lower-maintenance version, choose softer layers and avoid outlines that have to stay razor sharp.
