Finding the Right Hairstyle for Your Face

The shape of your face is the determining factor in choosing the right hairstyle. Following hairstyle trends is not always a good idea as they might not be the look that will fit you best. Here are some tips on finding the best hairstyle for the shape of your face.

A square face and a strong jaw line needs to be softened. Short hair will emphasize the chin and the jaw even more so stay away from this style. Longer hair will suit this face shape best. A wispy cut that falls on one side of the face is perfect for the square face to soften the harsh lines and de-emphasize the strong jaw line. Medium length hair and side swept bangs brings the attention to the eyes and draws it away from a firmly-chiseled jaw.

A short crop best accentuates the features of a round-shaped face. Long, fussy layers only serve to complicate the look. It is best to keep the lines clean and modern.

An oblong face can be softened with a long, curly hairstyle. It also helps to add width to the face. Parting it on one side also helps to make the face appear rounder. A pointed chin is also softened by the waves and curls of the hair.

Those who are blessed with the perfect oval-shaped face can pull off any hairstyle. If you want to emphasize your oval-shaped face and show off your beautiful bone structure, wear your hair pulled back such as in a pony tail or a chignon.

Side-swept fringes and lightly-flicked layers at the nape flatter a heart-shaped face perfectly. A blunt fringe or a one-length style will make your face look wider and shorter.

Choose cuts that draw attention away from your jaw if you have a triangular face. Soften the jaw line with light layers around the face. Avoid solid lines which will only emphasize the strong jaws.

A heart-shaped face is best enhanced by soft curls that add sexiness to the classic bob. Textured, chin-length bobs flatter the heart-shaped face best. Parting your hair on the side is best and lots of volume is recommended.

A short crop with wide-swept bangs is a good option for diamond-shaped faces. It highlights the cheek bones and layering the hair to curve around the cheeks further enhances them. Side-swept bangs cover the narrow forehead. Try to experiment on dramatic curls for a fuller look which also serves to add width to the areas where you need it most.
