The Best Haircut For YOUR Face!
Your hair is YOUR hair. Meaning, at the end of the day, you can choose to do whatever you’d like
with it. But in the beauty world, there are tips and tricks you can do with your hair that may give you the
look that you’re going for. I’m talking about haircuts. Believe it or not, the haircut you get, can alter the
way your face looks. Just like a camera or the way sunlight hits your face, it can totally change your face
shape! Wondering how? Let me tell you.
Round Face:
A round face is categorized by having a square-like shaped face but not blunt enough to be square.
The sides of your face curve slightly outward instead of being straight. Your chin may be rounded and
your cheekbones are the widest part of your face. If this sounds like you, long layers are going to be the
way for you. A longer length around the face helps a round face appear slimmer. These long layers will
help highlight your features. Adding in a middle part helps round faces as well.
Square:
A square face is similar to a round face. With a square shaped face, your forehead, cheekbones and
jaw will be the same width, but your jaw will have sharp angles to it. A style that softens a wider forehead
and jawline are ideal for a square face. The best hairstyles will soften the edges of the face line with
wispy layers, a sweeping side fringe, and volume at the crown of the head. An angled bob is also a
notable mention for those with a square face. Go for angled bobs that are longer in the front and will
cover the width of the cheeks.
Heart:
A heart shaped face is classified by a wider forehead that slims down the sides of the face and
meet to a point with a defined chin. Bangs are a perfect choice for anybody with a heart shaped face.
Bangs are a great way to conceal a wider forehead if that is something that may bother you. Styling the
front of your face to go outwards and face away from you with also help draw attention away from the
width. Heart-shaped faces can compensate for a wider forehead with long, face-framing layers.
Oval:
Oval faces are proportionally balanced on a vertical plane and are longer than they are wide.
People with oval faces typically have a round jawline and chin. The forehead is usually the widest part of
an oval face. Adding volume to the sides rounds out an oval face by adding width. Volume and length will
both complement your overall features and help create overall balance. A shoulder-length haircut is the
most flattering for an oval face. You want to create width, which you can easily do with shoulder-length
waves.
