Selecting the perfect hair cut that matches your face shape can bring out your best features and hide your worst. Here are a few hairstyle guidelines that may help you choose that hair cut that really compliments your style and face shape.
Round face shape – People with this face shape should try to create less volume. This can be achieved by choosing a hair cut that ends slightly below the chin line. Make sure you include long layers that reduce the thickness of your hair. If you have curly hair, consider using a flat iron or a permanent straightening treatment that would reduce volume.
Square face shape – To reduce an angular jaw line, use layers and texturing to create a softer look. For those who prefer shorter cuts, try using the same method to create a pixie-like look.
Oval face shape – This facial shape can carry almost any hair style. Just make sure you highlight your best feature.
Long face shape – The idea here is to create width around the face. Do this by choosing a style with bangs or a chin skimming bob. If your hair is flat try using a volumizing shampoo, and create a messy beach-look by using a wax based texturizer. If you have curly hair, try wearing your curls at shoulder length to create volume.
Heart face shape – Generally, heart shaped faces need to take attention away from their pointy chin. You can achieve this by choosing styles like fringes and shoulder length cuts. These styles would help draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones.
Just remember that choosing the right hair cut for your face shape may involve some experimenting.
