Are you tired of the same old hairstyle? Do you look at celebrities and wonder
how they manage to look so good with every haircut? Well, the secret, dost, is understanding your face shape! Finding a hairstyle that complements your face can make a huge difference in your overall appearance.
It's like finding the perfect filter for your face, but permanently! This guide will help you identify your face shape and suggest hairstyles that will make you look your absolute best. Forget those impulsive, "I saw it on Instagram" cuts that end in regret.
Let's find the real deal, the one that truly shines on you.
Identify your face shape to find the best haircut
The first step is figuring out what face shape you have. Stand in front of a mirror and tie your hair back. Use a lipstick or a dry erase marker to trace the outline of your face on the mirror. Don't worry, it washes off! Now step back and see what shape it most resembles.
The common face shapes are round, oval, square, heart, diamond, and oblong (or rectangular). Don't stress if you don't fit perfectly into one category. Most people have a combination of features. It's about identifying the most dominant characteristics.
This exercise is all about getting a better understanding of your features and appreciating them. Its about finding the haircut that is the best for your face. Also do not focus on trying to change your face structure. Everyone is different and everyone is beautiful.
Hairstyle recommendations for round faces: add angles, length, layers, height, asymmetry, dark colors
Now that you know your face shape, let's dive into the hairstyle recommendations! For round faces, which are characterized by full cheeks and a similar width and length, the aim is to add some angles and length. Think of haircuts that create height at the crown.
Layered cuts, especially around the cheekbones and jawline, can help to slim the face. Avoid blunt, one-length bobs that end at the chin, as they can make your face look rounder. Long layers are your friend! Experiment with side-swept bangs to add asymmetry. A deep side part can also work wonders.
Colors can also give a difference to the overall look. Dark colors tend to enhance the features, and so they are recommended. Highlights closer to the face can also give a sharper look.
Oval face shape allows versatility in hairstyles for balance and fun
If you have an oval face, consider yourself lucky! This shape is considered the most versatile, and most hairstyles will look good on you. The oval face is longer than it is wide, with a rounded jawline. You can experiment with short bobs, long layers, bangs of all kinds, and even pixie cuts!
The key is to maintain balance and avoid overwhelming your features. If you have a long oval face, consider adding bangs to shorten the length. If you have a shorter oval face, try adding layers to add volume and movement. Don't be afraid to try new things and have fun with your hair!
An oval face allows you to get creative and experiment with various textures and styles.
Square faces softened with layers, waves, volume, and asymmetry. Confidence is key
Square faces are defined by a strong jawline and a similar width across the forehead and jaw. The goal here is to soften the angles and add some roundness. Soft layers that frame the face can help to break up the squareness. Long, wavy hair is also a great option.
Avoid blunt cuts that accentuate the jawline. Instead, opt for something softer and more flowing. Adding volume at the crown can also help to balance the strong jawline. A side part can also create asymmetry and soften the overall look.
Think about styles that create movement and texture to avoid a boxy appearance. Remember that confidence is the best accessory, so wear your hair with pride!
Heart-shaped faces require balance with chin-length bobs and long layers
For heart-shaped faces, which feature a wider forehead and a narrower chin, the aim is to balance the wider upper portion of the face with the narrower lower portion. Chin-length bobs are a great option, as they add width to the jawline.
Long layers that start around the cheekbones can also help to create balance. Avoid adding too much volume at the crown, as this can make your forehead appear even wider. Side-swept bangs are a great way to soften the forehead. Consider styles that draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones.
A deep side part can also create asymmetry and balance the face. With heart-shaped faces, its all about the balance and the cut.
Diamond faces benefit from chin-length bobs, side-swept bangs, and wavy hair for balance
Diamond faces, characterized by wide cheekbones and a narrower forehead and jawline, benefit from styles that add width to the forehead and jawline. Chin-length bobs with layers are a great option, as they add volume to the jawline.
Long layers that start around the cheekbones can also help to balance the face. Avoid adding too much volume at the cheekbones, as this can make the face appear wider. Side-swept bangs can soften the forehead. Consider styles that showcase your cheekbones while adding balance to the face.
A center part can also work well. Hair that are more on the wavy side are recommended as these create more volume.
Oblong face shapes: add width with shoulder-length layers, bangs, and texture
Finally, for oblong faces, which are longer than they are wide, the goal is to add width and avoid adding too much height. Shoulder-length hair with layers is a great option, as it adds volume and width to the sides of the face. Avoid long, straight hair that can make your face appear even longer.
Bangs are your best friend! They can help to shorten the length of your face. A side part can also create asymmetry and add width. Consider styles that add movement and texture to the face. Avoid styles that are flat and lifeless.
Experiment with different textures and styles to find what works best for you.
Experiment and have fun with hairstyles to feel confident and beautiful
Remember, these are just guidelines. The best way to find a hairstyle that you love is to experiment and talk to your hairstylist. They can help you determine your face shape and recommend styles that will flatter your features.
Don't be afraid to try new things and step outside of your comfort zone. Hair is an expression, and you should have fun and get creative with it! Ultimately, the best hairstyle is the one that makes you feel confident and beautiful. So go ahead, book that appointment and get ready for a new you!
