Hair textures

ultimate guide on short haircuts according to your hair texture and type

Thick hair

If you have thick hair, a side-swept pixie would look great on you since you have good volume. Get a pixie cut with longer wisps on the side and ask your stylist to keep it fuller at the crown. You can also go for a long bob or a standard bob with bangs.

Fine Hair

Fine-haired ladies, a textured or layered bob is your best bet as it will give you faux volume by adding some layers to your hair. An asymmetrical bob, which is short at the back and long in front or one side shorter than the other will also look bomb on your hair.

Straight hair

Women with naturally poker-straight hair can pull off a blunt bob like it’s NBD. The ultra glamorous hairdo is the perfect fit for straight locks. Ask your stylist to keep the length right above the shoulders in alignment with your jawline.
