Which Bob Haircut Is Right for You?

 Heart Shaped Face
Hairstyles to avoid: Dodge cuts that elongate the head. Which basically means, remain wary of certain bobs ending near the jaw. That’ll only enhance a shorter forehead.
Flattering hairstyles: Heart shaped faces have wide cheekbones and forehead, and pointed chin (think Gwyneth Paltrow or Kendall Jenner). To balance unique edges and avoid attention to a pinched jawline, consider obtaining a long lob (shoulder skimming cut) which is a perfect haircut for heart-faced women. Swooping bangs and layers aid to alleviate the look.
A chunky layered bob is an additional choice for these face shapes. It hits a bit below the chin and includes many layers. This haircut is favorable for women of all ages — whether young or old. Coloring the ends with lighter shades helps create extra texture.
Pear Shaped Face
Hairstyles to avoid: Extreme ponytails or sleek buns as they aren’t as flattering.
Flattering hairstyles: When considering pear-shaped face women, jaw-lines are broader than hairlines. Although it’s a lovely structure, it’s difficult to flatter. Think of Sophie Ellis-Bextor or Kelly Osbourne for instance. A traditional bob balances while visually reducing lines.
An extra short bob cut (think above your ears!) also helps to balance angles. Adding swept bangs with shorter layers works wonders. Hair appears exceptional when silky or smooth.
Oblong Face
Hairstyles to Avoid: Stay clear of long hair as it makes your face longer.
Flattering hairstyles: If you have a more oblong facial structure, it’s longer than it is wide and has a masculine lower half. Giselle Bundchen, Linda Fargo and Hilary Swank fall into this category. Chin length bob looks fantastic on those with longer faces because it creates a width illusion.
If unsure about a chin length bob, opt for the blunt bob with fringe. It help to hide foreheads, creating a shorter face facade.
Square Face
Hairstyles to Avoid: Blunt, boxy cuts cause a square frame to appear too masculine. Avoid them completely.
Flattering hairstyles: A primary concern with square faces is adding softness. An asymmetrical cut featuring longer pieces at the front which gradually becomes shorter at the back elongates a square face. A side-part is perfect for getting that softer appearance while adding lots of movement to soften the angles. Emma Roberts and Keira Knightley, achieve this. Another great idea is the long, angled bob. The cut skims at the shoulders and looks fabulous with a sleek middle part (yes, middle parts are still cool).
Round Face
Hairstyles to Avoid: Cuts that end right above your chin or at your chin. That mistake can cause spherical faces look even more rounded.
Flattering hairstyles: Slightly longer bob with added volume is the best option for round faces. It helps to hide the width of the face while slimming. Leave full bangs and center parts alone, as they give fullness to an already full face.
A-line bobs also work very well for round face shape. Emma Stone, Lily Collins, and Selena Gomez kill the cut.
Oval Face
Hairstyles to Avoid: Since this shape is well balanced, avoid styles that bring too much hair onto the face, like thick and fringed bangs.
Flattering hairstyles: Luckily, an oval face is perfect for many different hairstyles. The best decision is a grown-out pixie with added waves, which balances an oval face from chin to forehead. It helps to hide the width of the face while slimming.
Inverted bobs also work perfectly for this shape. Stars like Beyonce, Emma Watson, and Ashlee Simpson have rocked this bob.
