Did you know
that a certain hairstyle will compliment your beauty depending on the shape of your face??
Below are
a list of shapes and descriptions to assist in determining a style that's truly you!
Many of us
know what styles look good and some of us do not. You may ask yourself. Certain styles will enhance your face
while other apply a negative affect. To determine hairstyles that compliment you, one must learn about facial shapes.
The most common shapes are: Oval, Rectangular/Oblong, Round, Square and Heart. There are some
that will fall into the category of Triangular or Diamond.
Finding
the shape of your face will not only bring spark to your image, it will save you from having many, many bad styles!
A ROUND shaped face is displayed with full, round circular cheeks. Layers on
the top and longer length near the back elongate your face. Round faces look great with longer, layered styles with
lots of curls.
*Keep the
sides close to the face and promote height at the crown. The goal of this style is to create an oval appearance and
lift the face*

A SQUARE shaped face is described when the angular jawline is the same width as the
forehead. This facial type looks best by trying a short style that is wavy on top. A wide forehead and jawline
is softened by wispy edges.
*Soften
the edges of your square-shape face by directing soft wavy bangs down over your temples.*

|
A HEART
shaped face is characterized by a wide forehead, high cheekbones with a "V" shaped chin. Try a short, cropped style
that is tapered at the neck. The long, wispy fringe softens a round and peaked forehead. This style is achieved
when layers are long at the crown, graduated at the sides and tapered at the nape. The hair should be past the chin
area.
*The best looks for this facial shape are full, curly and
bouncy styles that create width around the narrow chin.*
|
|
An OVAL shaped face is well-porportioned. The length of the face is longer than
the width. A classic oval shaped face looks great with any hairstyle! The preferred style would
be long with graduated layers.
|
|
A RECTANGLE shaped face shows
a narrow forehead and a wide chin. Try a shapely layered look or a curly style. Layers and heavy fringes build
fullness on top to soften a wider crown.
*Select styles with more width and volume. Adding bangs will help to shorten a
long shape face.*
