I have a short bob in a side cut that I love for my fine hair and round face. It’s so easy to care for and even looks nice on a windy day. Just falls into place.

I definitely have a round face. Add to that, I have fine, thin hair with cowlicks! Yikes! I have found that a short pixie cut works best for me. Unfortunately, I struggle to “change it up” and end up having the same cut for YEARS! I’ve tried a layered bob, but it just ‘hangs there’…I race to my stylist and tell her “cut it!”. (Fortunately, my husband loves the short hair. He always says “you look younger and thinner!” when I get it cut.) ;-)

Barbara

I also love the short cuts. Try as I may I always stick with short cuts. Getting older doesn’t help either.
