What length is the short cut in the preview?

A cropped cut, neat around the ears and neck, roughly ear length on top. For a pixie or bob, pick those styles in the homepage studio and compare.

Does the short hair filter work for men?

Yes. Switch the studio to Male for a men's cropped cut. The gallery includes men's crop and textured crop examples.

Is the short hair simulator free?

Sign in for 10 credits and one free generation. Additional looks, for example comparing a crop with a bob, use 10 credits each from a plan.

Will short hair make my face look rounder?

A cut that ends at the widest point of the face can. A crop with height on top or a bob that ends below the jaw usually does not. Try both in the studio.

Short Hair FilterAnswer "what would I look like with short hair" with your own face, not a celebrity's.

Going short is the haircut people think about for a year and then either regret in a week or wish they had done sooner. The difference is almost always whether they saw it on themselves first.

This short hair filter takes your selfie and renders a cropped cut, neat around the ears and neck, while keeping your face and neck exactly as photographed. Jawline, cheekbones and neck length, the three things a short cut exposes, all stay true to you.

Does short hair suit you?

The 2.25-inch rule
Hold a pencil under your chin and a ruler under your ear. If the gap is under 2.25 inches, very short cuts tend to flatter. Over that, a bob or lob is often the safer short.
Strong jaw or cheekbones
Short hair puts them on display. If you like them, a crop or pixie is your friend. If you would rather soften them, keep length near the jaw.
Long neck
A longer neck carries a cropped nape beautifully. A shorter neck often looks better with a bob that ends at the jaw.
Fine hair
Short cuts make fine hair look thicker because the weight is gone. Thick, coarse hair may need texturising so a crop does not puff out.

The truth about short hair

Cuts every 4 to 6 weeks
Short shapes lose their line fast. Expect roughly twice as many salon visits as long hair.
Faster mornings, more product
Washing and drying take minutes, but a crop usually needs a little paste or wax to sit right.
Grow-out: 12 to 18 months to shoulder length
And there is an awkward stage around month four. If you are unsure, a bob is the halfway house.
