Best Hairstyles and Haircuts For Your Face Shape

Have you ever come upon a hairstyle that looks fab on someone else but is absolutely disgusting on you? Did you spend hours to put your hair into a cool look found on Pinterest and you end up looking  like you got hit by an alien? Well we have to thank our face shapes for all the problems it cost such s these. Everyone has varying genetic material(yes, I just dabbled into science...) thus we have different face shapes that contributed to the type of hair cuts and style that fit our features the best. Through understanding you face shape you will not only find your hairstyling process easier but also be able to identify what is suitable for you! So, what is your face shape? Is it oval? Square? Round? Oblong? Heart? Diamond? Or Triangle?

Oval

• Length equal to one and a half of width 

• Tapered hair line and jaw line

If you have a oval face shape then lucky you! It is considered to be the most versatile all all face shape. However you probably have a larger nose and forehead, thus avoid the middle part which can draw attention to these areas. If you are feeling adventurous you can try bangs which will successfully disguise your forehead
*** Just a side tip: if you have oily hair to greasy hair then I would not try bangs since the shorter hair length tends to get oily quicker and may cause breakouts on the forehead...from personal experiences

Square

• face shape; length similar to width

• Straight hair line and angular jawline 

Square face is the ultimate and most flattering face shape for romantic, whimsy hairstyles! Bring out your inner princesses! The most important thing to keep in mind when deciding a hairstyle for square face shapes is softness. Because the square face consist of such rigid outlines it is crucial to use the hair to add more feminism and take away to harshness the shape gives. Romantic soft hairstyle, loose waves, layered cuts, and bangs are gorgeous on square faced gals.  Show off your strong jawline.

Round

• length equals width

• less defined chine, cure linear hairline

• cheekbones are longest area of the face

With a round face the initial goal would be to elongate the face. Long hair with layers is a simply yet flattering look for you. Wispy pixie bangs would be perfecto though you may want to avoid thick and heavy blunt cuts. Finally, you can go as high as you want with your pompadours because it would only length your face and make you look like the QUEEN





Oblong 

• length is greater than width

• square hairline and jawline

Oblong face shapes is another one that will look fabulous will long and layered hair. With this the hair is used to widen the face apposing to lengthening it with a round shaped face. Layers will look beautiful with this face, however do keep them below the chin. And avoid chin length hair styles. Of course bangs would be stunning with an oblong face shape, since it minimizes the length.

Heart

• widest point is forehead

• full at the cheek area and narrows down to the chin

Sometimes with a heart face the chin may appear too harsh, thus you can use the hair to soften it up. Chin length bobs with add volume and thickness the this area and round up the harsh outlines of the chin area. Slicked back hairstyles may not be the best for you but romantic messy updos are definitely your thing!

Diamond

• widest point at the cheekbone are

• hairline and jawline are similarly narrow

Emphasize your gorgeous cheekbones! Make sure to leave the weight of your hair at the nape such as bobs. Also avoid  brow and above bangs but you can definitely go for a heavy blunt cut which will widen your forehead.

Triangle

• narrow forehead

• widest at jawline

Once again draw attention to your cheekbones and forehead! Soft, romantic curls around the top of the face will balance out the width of the top and bottom of your face. Also lawyer long hair and short asymmetrical cuts will bring out your best features!
