Oval

For those with oval-shaped faces, Rojas suggests a lob (a longer bob), below chin length to complement your long, soft features. It’s important to regularly schedule trims for this type of bob, though, so the length doesn’t venture into an awkward territory. “I recommend going no longer than three months between salon visits,” says Rojas. “It has to be trimmed often to keep its shape.”

Round

One of the most popular haircuts of 2022 was the wolf cut, a modern take on the ’70s-inspired shag. You can bring the style into the new year with a trendy shaggy bob. Rojas says this is the perfect look for round faces. “Keep it shorter and add layers for shadows and movement,” he says. When styling at home, add some volume and dimension by using the Ricardo Rojas Full Blown Volumizing Styling Spray.

Heart

Rojas advises that those with heart-shaped faces make a dramatic change by going extra short with a bob inspired by the 1920s. We love how this cut screams old Hollywood glamor.

Diamond

While any bob length works great for those with diamond-shaped faces, Rojas recommends adding dimension and movement by either embracing natural curls or curling your hair. Whatever route you decide to take, make sure to keep hair strong and smooth by incorporating the Carol’s Daughter Goddess Strength Divine Strength Leave In Milk into your routine.

Rectangular

It’s best to keep your bob a little longer (between jaw and shoulder-length) if you have a rectangular face, but Rojas says the key for taking your bob to the next level is getting bangs. Any style of bangs — from soft and feathery to sideswept or even blunt — will look amazing.
