The Right Hairstyle for Your Face Shape
Oval Face Shapes A variety of styles, the oval face is the most attractive face. Your “perfect” features allow you to wear a wider range of styles than any other face shape. You can wear short, medium and long hair styles. Your face shape is well “balanced”, or in even proportion. You will look best when styling your hair off your face. Most oval face shapes can wear slicked-backed looks as well.
Round Face Shapes Exactly as it sounds, the round face shape is roughly circular, being about the same length and width. The best styles for this shape give fullness above or below the cheekbones. Thus, either full-bodied short styles, or long styles; but those that end in the jaw line area should be avoided.
Oblong Face Shapes These faces are considerably longer than they are wide, usually with very “flat” cheekbones through the temples. May have a very high forehead or low chin. Obviously, be careful with long hair, hair that is too long can drag down the face. Medium or short lengths are best. Bangs work particularly well with this shape, to reduce the appearance of length; as do curls, to add body and the appearance of width to the face.
Heart Face Shapes Chin-length or longer styles work well with a heart shaped face. Other styles to try: side-parted hair styles or swept-forward layers around the upper face, with gently wispy bangs. A chin length bob is great on your face shape! This creates a balanced look by giving fullness where you need it. You can wear shorter styles; however, if you are a dramatic heart shape you need to leave weight in the back nape area. This will achieve more balance between your dramatic cheekbones and more narrow chin.
Square Face Shapes Square faces are roughly equal in width at forehead, cheeks and jaw. Short-to-medium length hair, especially with wave or roundness around the face. Wispy bangs will soften the angular shape. Off-center parts with height at the crown look great on square faces. You want to soften the square look of your face with layers and wispy looks around the face. Height at the crown will elongate your symmetrical shape. If your hair is straight, you may want to consider a body wave, as some curl or wave to the hair will achieve a nice balance to the straight features of your face shape.
