Women with longer faces should opt for bangs and a shorter cut, while those with round faces should have a Bob with side bangs that are cut away from the face.

Inverted Bob
A great hairstyle if you have really fine hair. It's one of the few trendy and most popular hairstyles that women with baby fine hair can wear and look great.

Or change the angles to give it a different look - go short on one side blended to longer on the other side. Use a longer version if your face is very round. Very straight hair suits this hair cut well.

The general rule is the longest pieces of hair should fall just above the chin to keep the face hugging effect.

Go with a blunt line and bangs above the brow. A more severe fringe gives this hairstyle its sharpness. But agin, if you have curly hair, you may want to go with one of the other hair styles.
