Welcome to our site.
It is dedicated to bringing you pictures of hair styles, as you may have
guessed from the name on the tin. You will find six main categories.
Short cuts are deemed to be those above the jaw line.
Long is below the shoulders and
medium is in between. The others are
prom hairstyles which includes wedding or bridal, homecoming and
formal / evening. The young section has all the extreme and outrageous cuts. While the classic section has any style that you wouldn't expect in the young
section.
We recommend you look
through more than one section as there are no duplicates. Before you
browse our gallery of styles we recommend that you read through the
advice on choosing a style that will compliment your face shape. To
determine the best hairstyle for you firstly you need to determine what
shape your face actually is. It may not be one exact type, in fact it
will more than likely be a mixture of two or maybe even more but it
should resemble one more the others.
Pull your hair back off your face by wetting it or tying it back.
Draw an outline of your face with lipstick on a mirror or on transparent paper or on a photo.
Now compare your outline to the options (short synopsis is below).
Oval
- Length equals around
one and a half times width As oval
is considered to be the ideal face shape it is therefore the most versatile, so
nearly every hair style will look good on this face.
Round
- Round hairline and chin line,
wide face and round cheeks If you have a round face
shape, the goal here is to slim the face. Hair below the chin line should be
worn with a face-lengthening center parting.
Square
- straight hairline,
angular jaw with wide face Your hairstyle should
try to soften the sharp angle of your jaw line and minimize a squared-off forehead
look.
Triangular
or Pear - wide chin and narrow forehead When choosing a style
for this face shape, you should seek on a look that narrows the chin and widens
the forehead to balance proportions.
Heart
- narrow jaw line, wider at eyes If this is your face
shape, you'll want a hairstyle that extenuates the jaw line and narrows at the
eyes. Heart shape faces need a softer, curly style.
Oblong
- Long and
slender, about the same width at forehead and just below cheekbones.
For this
face shape you
should add width and fullness to the sides of the face and around the eyes,
cheekbones and ears.
