Curly Cropped
If you have naturally curly hair, then this hairstyle is the best for you. This involves cutting hair short on the sides and leaving curly masses on the crown. If done right, the layers will fall onto your forehead making it the perfect hairstyle for women with protruding foreheads.

This bold hairstyle consists of making spikes on the crown and leaving it rippled on the sides. This bold and pretty hairstyle will definitely make heads turn when you step out onto the street. Another variant is the pixie Mohawk wherein the hair is not turned into ripples but simple cropped very short leaving only a few centimetres of hair length on the sides.
Face Framing Bob

Basin Bob Haircut

Textured Pixie
This look requires very little maintenance and is easy on the purse. Simply cut the hair very short leaving a short wavy layer that falls on one side. Works best on women with longer faces.
