Choosing a haircut to complement your face shape
Confused about which haircut will actually suit your face? We've all been there! Getting a trendy haircut that looks amazing on your favourite Bollywood celebrity, only to realize it makes you look... well, different... is a common beauty blunder.
The key, my dear reader, lies in understanding your face shape and choosing a cut that complements it perfectly. Forget blindly following trends; let's unlock the secrets to finding a hairstyle that makes you shine!
Identify your face shape for best haircut
First things first: figuring out your face shape. Don't worry, it's not rocket science! Stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back (use a headband if needed), and trace the outline of your face on the mirror with a lipstick or marker (which wipes off, of course!).
Now, take a step back and see which geometric shape it most resembles. You might be surprised! The most common face shapes are round, oval, square, heart, oblong (or rectangular), and diamond.
Each shape has its own unique characteristics, and some haircuts are naturally more flattering than others. Once you identify your shape, you're already halfway there! Think of it like finding the right 'chashma' (spectacles) frame - it's all about balance and harmony.
Knowing your face shape will save you from countless salon disappointments and lead you to a hairstyle that enhances your natural beauty. So, grab that lipstick and get tracing! It's the first step towards your hair makeover.
Style tips for round faces: choose cuts adding length, height, and angles, avoid volume
Now, let's dive into the specifics. If you have a round face, characterized by full cheeks and a similar width and length, the goal is to create the illusion of length and definition. Avoid cuts that are too short or too voluminous, as they can make your face appear even rounder.
Instead, opt for styles that add height at the crown and have some length to them. Long layers that start below the chin are your best friend, as they help to break up the roundness. Consider an asymmetrical bob or a lob (long bob) that falls just below the collarbone.
Bangs can work too, but keep them long, side-swept, and wispy rather than blunt and straight across. When going to the salon, tell your stylist you want a style that adds angles and definition to your face. They will be able to help you to achieve that.
Oval faces can rock any hairstyle, from pixies to long layers, bangs included!
If you are gifted with an oval face, consider yourself lucky! This shape is considered the most versatile and can pull off almost any hairstyle. Oval faces have balanced proportions, so you have the freedom to experiment with different lengths, textures, and styles.
From short pixies to long flowing locks, the possibilities are endless! However, to really accentuate your oval face, consider styles that highlight your features. A classic bob, long layers, or even a sleek ponytail can look stunning.
Bangs can also work well, whether they are blunt, side-swept, or curtain bangs. With an oval face, you can really have fun trying out different looks and finding what works best for your personal style. So go wild and don't be afraid to experiment!
Softening square face angles with roundness in hairstyles
For those with a square face, which is defined by a strong jawline and a similar width across the forehead and jaw, the key is to soften the angles and add some roundness. Avoid blunt, geometric cuts that accentuate the squareness.
Instead, opt for styles with soft layers, waves, or curls that frame the face. A side part can also help to break up the symmetry and create a more flattering shape. Long layers that start around the cheekbones can help to soften the jawline.
Avoid short, choppy cuts that end at the jawline, as they will only emphasize the angularity. Think of soft, romantic hairstyles that add a touch of femininity and balance to your strong features.
Styles to flatter heart-shaped faces by balancing chin width with jawline volume
If you have a heart-shaped face, characterized by a wider forehead and cheekbones that taper down to a pointed chin, the goal is to balance the narrowness of the chin. Avoid styles that add too much volume at the crown, as they can make the forehead appear even wider.
Instead, opt for styles that add width at the jawline, such as bobs or lobs with layers that start around the chin. Side-swept bangs can also help to balance the forehead and draw attention to the eyes. Avoid severe, slicked-back styles that accentuate the pointed chin.
Think of styles that are soft, feminine, and balanced. A layered shag can also look amazing on heart-shaped faces, adding volume and texture in all the right places.
Oblong faces need width, volume, and balance in hairstyles
Those with an oblong (or rectangular) face, which is longer than it is wide, need to add width and fullness to their hairstyle. Avoid styles that add too much height at the crown, as they will only elongate the face further.
Instead, opt for styles with horizontal volume, such as curls, waves, or a layered bob. Bangs are a fantastic choice for oblong faces, as they help to shorten the length of the face. A blunt bang or a side-swept bang can work well.
Avoid long, straight styles that lack volume, as they can make the face appear even longer. Think of styles that are full, voluminous, and balanced. Always remember to style your hair to the side, giving you lots of balance.
Styles for diamond-shaped faces: add width, soft angles, texture, avoid sleek looks
Finally, if you possess a diamond-shaped face, which features wide cheekbones and a narrower forehead and jawline, you'll want to create balance and soften the angles. Styles that add width at the forehead and jawline are ideal. Bobs, lobs, and long layers are all great options.
Consider styles with texture and movement to add softness to the face. Avoid styles that are too sleek or severe, as they can accentuate the angularity of the face. A middle part can work well for diamond-shaped faces, as it helps to balance the width of the cheekbones.
Think of styles that are soft, balanced, and flattering.
