Oval
- Length equals around
one and a half times width Round
- Round hairline and chin line,
wide face and round cheeks Square
- straight hairline,
angular jaw with wide face
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. You can wear
short, medium
or long hair
styles. Your face shape is in even proportion.
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. For hair above the chin line, wear
an off-center parting to break up the roundness.
Your hairstyle should
try to soften the sharp angle of your jaw line and minimize a squared-off
forhead look. Hairstyles that emphasize the cheekbones are most flattering, so
short layers (cut into longer hair) that swing foreward onto cheekbones will
look great.
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. Wear your hair wide and full at the top
and temples, brushed away from the face and up toward the ears to widen
forehead.
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, curlier style. a chin length look is perfect.
The objective is to create width around a narrower chin. Side slanted waves draw
attention away from the jaw line. Best looks are full curly / wavy bouncy. Your
hair type will also determine the best style.
Oblong
- Long and
slender, about the same width at forehead and just below cheekbones. May have a
very narrow chin or a very high forehead.
Hairstyles for this face shape should add
width and fullness to the sides of the face and around the eyes, cheekbones and
ears. This shape benefits from a low side parting, with a sweep of hair brushed
across the forehead and secured with a butterfly clip.
