The key to rocking super short hair is understanding which part of your face you want to frame with hair. To balance the look, put a long, side swept fringe in front, then cut the back into a short bob or pixie cut. This gives you the short haircut you’ve always wanted without making your face look puffy.

Editor’s Tip: Keep your side swept bangs in place by spritzing TONI&GUY High Definition Hair Wax on your fringe.
