2. Customizing for Your Face Shape & Hair Texture
Welcome to Part 2 of my salon guide on 100 New Short Hairstyles for 2021 – Bobs & Pixie Haircuts.
Every head of hair has its own density, cowlicks, and wave pattern.
Here is how I adjust the proportions behind the chair.

Matching Layers & Tones to Your Features
When it comes to short hairstyles, it’s all about finding the right balance between face shape and hair texture.
For example, if you have an oval face shape and fine hair, you may want to opt for a shorter, more choppy look to add some texture and volume.
On the other hand, if you have a heart-shaped face and thick hair, you may want to opt for a longer, more layered look to balance out your features.
One of the things I love about short hairstyles is that they can be tailored to suit any face shape or hair texture.
Whether you’re looking for a sleek and polished look or a more relaxed, effortless vibe, there’s a short hairstyle out there for you.
So don’t be afraid to experiment and find the look that works best for you!
✂️ Face-Shape & Density Quick Match
- Fine-to-Medium Strands: Keep perimeter weight blunt and add micro-ribbons around the face for visual fullness.
- Thick or Wavy Hair: Use internal slide-cutting to release weight so waves stack without triangle bulk.
- Warm vs. Cool Skin Undertones: Pair golden-olive skin with honey, caramel, or espresso glosses; pair cool undertones with champagne, ash, or mocha ribbons.
