Ryan Cotton, a stylist at John Frieda Salon, told Health.com, “Hair that’s an awkward length without a discernible style is very unflattering.” Face-framing is the key, so choose a style that flatters and frames your face.

The Mid-Length Layered

Do you like the style of a bob but would still prefer some length to work with? Take a risk and try it out. In fact, Jet Rhys, stylist and owner of Jet Rhys Hair Salon in San Diego, told Woman’s Day, a multi-layered bob that goes no longer than the collarbone, is “the perfect length for almost any face shape or hair texture.”

Opting for a standard mid-length cut isn’t discouraged but hair that is all the same length pulls down the face. This is especially true in women over 40, according to Jennifer Lawrence of the Louis Licari Salon in New York, who also spoke to Woman’s Day. But a layered, mid-length cut frames the face with soft, pretty layers—layers that will go a long way in adding volume and overall shape to an otherwise plain, long style.
