Snag These Snip Tips

Score the do that's right for you with these guidelines from celeb hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai's book, A Year of Style (Clarkson Potter, October 2000). If you have great bone structure, you'll be a sure stunner in short hair. Since short hairs don't fall limp, your style will look fuller and soften finely chiseled features. If you have a narrow face, a midlength mane with layers is an ideal option. Shoulder-level hair will frame your head nicely, while the layers will add volume to counterbalance the thinness of your face. Heart-shape faces look sexiest sporting bangs snipped straight across the forehead. For a round face, keep tresses long (one length or layered) to avoid the chubby-cheek look. A shorter cut will only flatter you if the back is longer than the front. The sexiest style for a square jawline is a mane that falls just above or right at your shoulders. Cropped hair just makes jawlines more pronounced. Also avoid having bangs cut straight across your forehead; the square shape will box in your face. If your neck is on the short side, keep locks long. A supershort cut will only accentuate your neck's lack of length.
