You’ve finally talked yourself

into getting on the bob bandwagon.

Before you go all T-Swift on us, Oscar

Cullinan, founder of Oscar Oscar Salons

in Sydney, explains what you should

consider before making the chop.

T his should be the first thing to consider before any haircut. Just

like you and your pals may not suit the same style of sunnies,

you probably won’t suit the same hairstyles. The shape of your

hairline and jaw will affect the length, texture and style of cut

that best suits your face. Which one are you? Find. Out. Now!

FACE SHAPE

ROUND:“A round-shaped

facewill suit a long bob to

create length in the face,”

says Oscar. The extra inches

will keep your round shape

balanced and looking amaze.

OVAL: If you have an oval

shaped face, congratulations

• it suits most haircuts. Mix
  things up here and there, and
  try something a little different
  to see what works for you.

SQUARE: “A square face

shape needs a soft cut around

the jawline,” says Oscar. Ask

for a few layers to add a little

more texture and movement.

HEART-SHAPED: This face

suits a classic shoulder-length

bob. With this chic style, you

can experiment with different

ways of parting your hair.

Sit down with your hairdresser and talk through

your decision thoroughly. They’ll have good advice.

Take in some photos of bobs you like and styles you

think might work with your hair. This will help give

your hairdresser some idea of what YOU want.

If you ever feel uncomfortable with something they’re

about to do, speak up! There’s nothing worse than

paying for a cut that you’re not totally in love with.
