Jaw-length haircuts are short cropped cuts that graze the jawline. The chop promises classic yet sophisticated and trendy styles, perfect for women of any age!
Clare Cartwright is a stylist and salon owner in England. According to her, face shape is a vital aspect to consider.
She explains, “Bobs can be adjusted to compliment most face structures. However, a jaw-length haircut best suits heart and oval face shapes.”
Talk to your hairstylist to see if this length will work well with your hair density. With very thick hair, for instance, layers are a good choice. “Without these layers, the haircut could drown out the face and grow out with a triangular shape,” says Cartwright.
For maintenance, a trim every 6-8 weeks should be sufficient to keep it looking its best.
