Picking the Right Hairstyle for Your Face
Hair styles are not a one size fits all. Different hairstyles will fit different people differently and unlike clothes, if you do not pick the right style, you can’t just take it off and start all over again. There are various things that should be taken into consideration when selecting the right hairstyle. In this article, we will discuss some of those things that you should think through.
What Shape Is Your Face?
The first things that should be taken into consideration is your face shape. You can figure this out through measuring your face with a flexible measuring tape. The standard face shapes include long oval, round, square, heart, and diamond. The easiest way to find your shape is to pull your hair back and look at your face’s outline in the mirror. You can also measure your face across your forehead, across your cheek bones, down your jawline, and lastly down the length of your face.
Once you have determined your face shape you can begin to explore hair styles that are fitting. Oval face shapes are considered one of the most versatile and can pull off many different styles. Many different types including short, long, and layered suit an oval shaped face.
Roughen Up Round Faces
Round shaped faces should look for a style that can help elongate the face. The round faces do not have natural angles, so you need to create the illusion of structure with your hair style. When selecting a hairstyle, you want to think of a box shape and look for ways to create more of a box illusion. This can include a hairstyle with layered cuts, pixie cuts, or hairstyles that include a bang that is side swept.
Soften Up Strong Angles
Since the squared faces typically have strong jawlines and angular features, they should look for haircuts that soften their angles. This can be done with a hairstyle that includes layered cuts, curly or wavy hairstyles, and bangs that are swept to the side.
Heart-Shaped Faces
The heart face shape includes having a wider forehead and a narrow jawline. For this shape, you want to look for a hairstyle that will create more width in the jawline area. This can be achieved through chin length bobs or different layered cuts.
Diamond-Shaped Faces
Diamond face shapes include a narrow forehead and a narrow chin but have wider cheekbones. In this shape, you want to find a hairstyle that will add width to the forehead or the chin. This can also be achieved through the textured bobs or styles that include a side swept bang.
We all know the old saying, if you look good you feel good. Hair is a vital aspect of feeling good. A good hairstyle with the right face shape can make you look younger, prettier, and overall better. It can counteract some of those features in your face that you may not be happy with. Overall, having the right hairstyle for your face shape will allow you to feel better and go through your day with the high confidence boost that you deserve.
