"  Before chopping your locks, take stock of your &amp;quot;short&amp;quot; options. &amp;quot;I think of the face shape, the jawline, the length of the neck\u2014all of those things contribute to how short or long you can go with the bob,&amp;quot; says celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson, who snipped Anne Hathaway&amp;#039;s above-the-shoulder do. &amp;quot;Even though everyone is wearing shorter hair, it&amp;#039;s important to not be a slave to the trend.&amp;quot; Gibson&amp;#039;s fail-safe tips? Those with fuller faces should avoid taking it too short: &amp;quot;I wouldn&amp;#039;t want the haircut to be at the jawline because it&amp;#039;s going to accentuate that,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;If it&amp;#039;s a little longer, it&amp;#039;s slimming and more angular on the face and neck.&amp;quot; The perfect candidate for a pixie do or cropped bob, says Gibson, is someone who is thinner through the cheeks and with a smaller head. Regardless of how much you elect to shear, Gibson ranks the severity of the cut as the top consideration: &amp;quot;It should definitely have softness to it.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
