French Bob

A jaw- or cheekbone-length blunt bob with a brow-skimming fringe, worn slightly undone. The fringe shortens a long face and covers a high forehead. The blunt line sits at the jaw, so it adds width there — less flattering for round and triangle faces.

General guidance from stylists, not a measurement of your face — hair density, hairline and personal taste all matter too.
