Middle part chin-length waves work on most casual days. This style is easy to replicate as long as you have a naturally wavy texture. It’s vital to enhance the curls with any heat-styling tool if needed. Volumized waves are an excellent choice. They add a soft movement to locks.

Slightly Angled Bob Haircut

How would you describe this look?

This chin-length haircut a short and slightly angled bob haircut. It’s cut at an angle so that the nape area is roughly an inch shorter than the front length. I’ve given her textured layers for movement and to lighten up her bulky heavy hair.

My favorite thing about this cut is that it’s flattering for all ages and can be adjusted for any face shape. It generally keeps its shape for up to three months, making it a go-to for busy women on the go.

Any advice for someone considering it?

A consultation is always needed to know which adjustments should be made. Perhaps for an edgier look, the angle could be steeper. You could stack or graduate the nape area for added shape. Shorter layers or bangs can be cut for more volume, larger foreheads, or this basic shape can be left without layers for thin and fine hair.

It’s versatile to style and easily made sleek and straight. It can be waved with a curling wand or curled with a one-inch barrel iron. The length in the front is usually left long enough to pull back so it’s out of your face if you want to work out.

My favorite styling products for shorter & finer hair are BIG SEXY Root Boost and Spray Clay Texturizer. For wavy hair, use a light gloss to smooth the hair shaft and eliminate frizz, then a spray of AG Sea Salt Spray for beachy texture. For thicker bulky hair, my two faves are Biosilk Coconut Therapy and BIG SEXY Love Oil cocktailed with AG Recoil and Totaled Lightly (left to air dry).

Small bobby pins and barrettes are a great accessory for this cut and a sunkissed balayage is a perfect color compliment.

Chin-Length Blunt Cut

Opt for a chin-length blunt cut if you have thin, fine hair. The length offers fullness, creating a thicker illusion. Style the tresses with waves to soften the bluntness of the cut. Notice how the movement can also carry out a more glamorous finish.

Asymmetrical Cut

@fabhairstyle_perth

The asymmetrical cut is for ladies who have an oval or round face shape. This chop has a perimeter that helps the jawline become accentuated. With a natural black shade, this chin-length haircut makes thin hair look fuller. For a more polished result, curling in the ends will do.

Deep Side Part

Add a deep side part to chin-length hair to give your face a flattering angle. It’s a great cut to choose in case you have fine tresses that need extra volume at the roots. This haircut can be beneficial for women with a round face shape.

Chin-Length Textured Bob

Q&A with style creator, Chelsea Baert
Hairstylist @ Denny Kemp Salon & Spa in Minneapolis, MN


How would you describe this look?

The look is a chin-length bob and is only the slightest bit longer right by the face. The length of the hair sits right under the chin and above the shoulders, which is a wonderful spot for her face shape and neck length because it creates space between her shoulder and jawline.

This is a super easy and wearable style that does not take much effort at all. You can wear it textured and natural or blown out and sleek. Both take minimal style time.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This is a style that requires some styling. It’s not high maintence by any means, but effort is required whether it be using a scrunch in product for a textured look or a simple blow dry and curl. It’s not wake up and go kind of hairstyle.

Straight Chin-Length Hair

Senior Stylist @ B’Me Hair Salon and Academy in North Lakes, QLD


How would you describe this look?

This chin-length hair is a classic bob, but with the extremely blunt finish. The highlights keep this hard working lady more conservative, but when you have such a statement haircut, soft highlights are all you need!

My favorite thing about this hairstyle is that it is a statement in itself and as a hairdresser, the haircut is technically perfect! This look is amazing for any woman wanting a haircut that is easy maintenance yet gives them a striking look.

Any advice for someone considering it?

This look is great for someone with a thinner/narrow, oval, or heart face shape. When hair is cut to chin-length it accentuates the lower area of the face.

This client has relatively straight, thick hair that is fine in texture. When I styled, I used Marrakesh X Spray for my leave-in moisturizer. After I blow dried, I straightened to give that sharp finish.

The curlier your hair is the more styling you will have to do to achieve this look. This look is also gorgeous with a soft natural wave, so wash and wear is always an option for the gal on the go.

An angled chin-length haircut works on both thick and thin hair. Such a chop is shorter at the back and gets longer near the front. It can provide fine tresses a bulky effect to look fuller. The haircut can also remove weight by adding more layers around the head.

This style is perfect for clients with naturally wavy hair short hair, or those who are hot tool savvy. It looks best on oval or narrow face shapes.

The Curly Deva Cut

The curly deva cut is a technique of cutting the curls when dry. It requires removing pesky ends to tame the hair texture. This kind of haircut isn’t for everyone. It works so much better on coils or kinks, giving hair a good shape and volume.

@colorsbyclark

The short beach wavy cut, if paired with blonde, offers a lived-in vibe. It has a finish that looks so flattering on ladies with an oval face shape. If the hair is too fine and needs life, don’t hesitate to give it a side-parted style. That gives instant volume!

Q&A with style creator, Brittany Clark
Hair Stylist @ Lunatic Fringe Salon in Sharonville, OH


How would you describe this?

The short beachy wavy cut is a no layers chin length bob. No inversion, meaning it’s the same length all the way around, and not longer in the front like a traditional bob.

What’s your best advice?

This shape is for a slimmer, longer face to give width at the chin. Great products for this look are density mousse and texture spray! If you have finer hair this is a style you would need to style everyday to create the volume you need. Thicker hair could get away with just using a texture spray to give it a little messiness. This is cute straight and sleek or curly and messy!

Face-Framing Cut for Round Faces

23 Hottest Short, Chin-Length Hair Ideas

@ashleenormanhair

A face-framing cut for round faces makes a captivating result that’s hard not to notice. It’s way better when styled with waves. The movement can complement the softness and curve of a rounder face shape. Achieve this beauty by getting a chin-length cut and parting the hair in the middle. For extra dimension, a creamy blonde balayage does the job. The result appears so natural!
