THE SHAPE OF YOUR FACE

Hairstyle according to the shape of the face, how to choose, tips

INNA CODRU , DECEMBER 11, 2017

Believe it or not, even if we girls spend literally thousands of hours in front of our mirrors throughout our lives, the vast majority of us don't get the thought, what is our face shape? Or, what types of hairstyles or haircuts are best for our face shape?

Amazing, right?

Because of this, most of us go around with haircuts that are simply not as good as they could or should have been, without even knowing that we are getting in the way of our own beauty. Luckily, however, once you really figure out the type of face you're dealing with, you can start looking for hairstyles that really complement and enhance your beauty.

Luckily, figuring out the shape of your face isn't as difficult as many people think. All you really need is a mirror that evaluates the eye and the basic understanding of those forms that you once played with as a child.

Afterword - after you really define your face shape, you will be able to style and enhance the beauty of your face in the best possible way, breathing new life into your overall appearance.

(In addition, knowing your face shape is also necessary in order to correctly choose the shape of the Eyebrows. )

Just pay attention to the information we offer you below, really focusing on the tips and tricks that are described there (as well as all those recommendations that we have collected from the best stylists around the world) it will be easier to master all this, than you might expect.

THE FIRST STEP IS TO DEFINE YOUR FACE SHAPE

If you listen, there are a lot of cool stylists and makeup artists who will ask you to pay a lot of money to have your face measured with dozens of types of tools and devices, figuring out (down to the smallest detail) what exactly your face shape is. However, most people simply don't have to go through that headache and pay that kind of money to get the answers they're looking for.

All you have to do is take a nice hot shower and let the bathroom become warm and saturated with moisture. When your mirror is covered with a light mist, slide out of the shower, comb your hair back (completely), and then, getting close to the mirror, draw the general outline of your face on the mirror with your finger.

You can skip the shower, wait until the shower heats up and the room fills with steam... You can do EXACTLY the same "trick" on a dry mirror using an old eyeliner or lipstick.

Now everything is simple. You already have an "image" of your face, it remains only to match with one of the seven possible face shapes. All of them are shown in this picture:

We list these forms in order:

1. Rectangular
2. heart-shaped
3. Square
4. oval
5. Round
6. Triangular (Pear-shaped)
7. Rhomboid (Diamond)

Now that you know better what face shape you deal with every day, let's dive a little into the types of hairstyles and haircuts that work best for you.

Perfect hairstyles for round faces

The general idea here is to minimize (as much as possible) the fullness of your face by framing your face with layers of hair.

Also, it's a good idea to make sure your hair falls below your chin, allowing you to add a bit of extra length to your face, otherwise we'll lose that benefit.

Basically, you can get away with a haircut that is somewhat shorter, but you have to be very careful with your daily make-up if you plan on going that route. Plus, it's not possible to ALWAYS walk around with hair that protrudes right into your chin (it will look like you're wearing a space helmet all the time).

If you want a really - REALLY - short haircut (meaning the presence of shaved parts of the head), then of course no one will forbid you from this and you will no doubt discover new funny and even flirtatious looks, but, as a rule, you will not want to save this style is too long.

Perfect hairstyles for a heart-shaped face

Those with a heart-shaped face will find long, flowing, even with a slight side parting and curls going down right to the corners of the eyes suitable. It turns out such a natural balancing of the face, hiding the "heavy" upper part of the face. Not only will this approach really balance your face as a whole, but it will also take away the effect of a sharp chin - something that most women also find unattractive.

You can also use bangs, but the main thing is not to overdo it and avoid short bangs so as not to visually increase the forehead area. You can also try a graduated haircut or bob.

It is better to avoid combing your hair back, and thereby not create volume in the upper part of the head. In general, try not to create extra volume in the temporal region, otherwise it will really draw attention to the forms that you would like to hide.

Perfect hairstyles for an oval face shape

You are lucky if you have an oval face. You have a huge selection of hairstyles and haircuts for every taste, with almost no limits. And any hairdresser or stylist will be happy to work with you as a client, because 99.99% of all hairstyles for women are designed to help them create a more oval face.

Your hair will be beautiful whether it is long and flowing, tight and trimmed, with or without bangs. You will not even lose sleep worrying about how I will look with this new hairstyle, good or not. You can rest assured - good! 😊.

There really are no restrictions here, there are no such hairstyles or haircuts that you should refrain from, moreover, you can shave your head, completely, bald 😲. If you've ever seen Demi Moore's G.I.

Ideal hairstyles for a diamond (diamond) shape

This shape is very (VERY) similar to oval faces. Women with a diamond-shaped face can also wear any hairstyle of her choice - with rare exceptions.

Some of the most beautiful women on the planet have been blessed with diamond-shaped faces, and many of them choose to wear their hair with longer, flowing locks—sometimes with bangs, and sometimes (weird as it may seem) without. Many women with diamond-shaped faces can no doubt go for all sorts of funky cuts and shades, working with just about any style they want to try. And everything suits them .. but as long as they stay away from adding a lot of volume in the temporal region or in the cheekbones. Also avoid excessive volume of the upper part of the head. All this can stretch the diamond-shaped face in an undesirable direction.

It is also undesirable to make a parting in the middle of the face, this will also increase its length.

Ideal hairstyles for rectangular and elongated faces

The general idea when it comes to hairstyles for women with rectangular and oblong face shapes is to maximize the width of the face. Most women usually do this by using long bangs to the eyebrows, a chin-length bob cut with extra layers, essentially adding volume near the ears and chin to hide the oblong face shape. This approach really softens elongated and oblong faces.

Short haircuts are most often not recommended (as they make the top of the head somewhat unbalanced in relation to the bottom, and the face starts to look even longer and thinner than necessary). Some women will manage to use medium length haircuts, but even these are very risky, and if you are not sure about it, then it is better not to use it.

It is better to avoid hairstyles and haircuts without bangs, high hairstyles that open the face completely, and, of course, a central parting.

Perfect hairstyles for square faces

A complex face shape, but it can make you unique, for this you need to choose the right hairstyle. The easiest way is to see what hairstyles celebrities like Olivia Wilde, Sandra Bullock or Angelina Jolie use in this case. These are perfect examples of very beautiful square-faced women.

It is important not to use geometrically proportional haircuts. No even bangs, hair to the chin. If you use short haircuts, then with light, airy, wavy strands that will give femininity to such a face, make it more tender.

If you like bangs, then bangs - to the side. Asymmetrical haircut is perfect. It is better to style the hair closer to the face itself to brighten up the hard line of the chin. You can use a haircut in layers, with short strands starting from the chin line.

Ideal hairstyles for a triangular (pear-shaped) face shape

In this situation, it is important to "hide" the wide lower part of the face. Therefore, we avoid hairstyles that can add volume to the lower part of the face. We do not comb the hair at the temples so as not to emphasize the relatively narrow forehead. Ponytails, alas, are also not for you.

It is worth choosing such hairstyles with curls in the temporal region, giving volume to the upper part of the face. Or hairstyles that are close to the chin and go down just below it, which will hide the wide cheekbones.

A deep side parting will also visually hide the width of the lower part of the face. To balance out those long bangs, partly open your ear and let your hair out a little over it. This technique will add volume to the upper part of the face. Perfectly helps to balance the face and lush straight bangs on the eyebrows.

FINAL THOUGHTS

After all, finding the perfect hairstyle for your specific needs and your particular face shape will be a lot easier than most people think - if you pay attention to all the tips and tricks we've provided you with above.

Of course, you will need to make sure that you are honest enough about your face type (especially if you were previously sure that you have a different face shape). As soon as you jump over this obstacle, you will discover new facets of your beautiful face.

If you find that trying to pick and choose the right hairstyles for your face is not working out, don't be shy, strain your hairdresser and ask him for help. At the very least, it will be able to tell you what face shape you are dealing with, and at best, it will be able to help you find the perfect new looks that will give you everything you wanted.
