Side-Swept Bob
This short, chin-grazing bob with a deep side part and softly flipped-out ends balances a narrower chin against fuller cheekbones, giving inverted triangle faces easy, everyday movement.
Wearing this with an inverted triangle face
An inverted triangle face is broadest at the forehead and cheekbones and narrows sharply to a small, pointed chin. It's close to a heart shape but with a straighter, wider top.
The balance comes from the bottom up. Chin-length bobs, soft layers and volume at the ends add fullness around the jaw, while styles that break up a wide forehead keep the upper face from dominating.
Avoid short, sleek cuts that expose the full forehead and add nothing at the chin — they widen the top and make the narrow jaw look even smaller.

Blow-dry with a round brush to control the perimeter, then bevel the ends lightly or add a few soft bends through the top layer. A small amount of texture cream keeps the shape modern.
