The world of hairstyles is a fantastic place filled with intriguing and diverse styles. Just as every face is uniquely beautiful, there’s a hairstyle specifically tailored to accentuate its charm. As a professional hairstylist, it’s my duty and pleasure to guide you towards finding the perfect hairstyle that highlights your natural beauty. This is a simple guide to help you understand which hairstyles might suit your face shape the best.
Understanding Your Face Shape:
The first step involves identifying your face shape. Here are the general categories: oval, round, square, heart, and long. You can figure this out by measuring the widths of your brow, cheekbone and jawline, and the length of your face from forehead to chin.
Oval Face Shape:
Congratulations, you have the face shape that hairstylists deem the most versatile to play with! For you, both short and long hairstyles work well. Bobs, long waves, or even a pixie cut, all highlight your balanced proportions.
Round Face Shape:
The key is to create the illusion of length. Hairstyles with height and fullness at the crown work well. Consider long, wispy side bangs or choppy layers to add definition and angles to your soft features.
Square Face Shape:
The aim here is to soften the sharp edges of your jawline. Layered bobs, long waves, or curly textures can do wonders to provide a softer outline to your face.
Heart Face Shape:
With a wider forehead and a narrow chin, your best bet is to draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones. Pixie cuts, lobs, and side-parted styles can add balance to your face.
Long Face Shape:
Create the illusion of width with cuts that are shoulder-length or shorter, like the lob or a bob with side-swept bangs. Avoid long, straight styles that may lengthen your face.
Remember, these are general guidelines and not strict rules. The most crucial element in wearing any hairstyle is confidence. So, play around with styles, dare to experiment, and embrace change until you find the one that makes you look and feel your best. As a hairstylist, my job is to make your beauty shine inside out, and choosing the right hairstyle plays a crucial role. So, go ahead and unlock your perfect look! Let your hairstyle make a statement for you.
