Young style with wispy curls

Before you browse our gallery we recommend that you read through the advice on choosing a style that will compliment your face shape.


 

  1. In front of a mirror, pull your hair off your face by wetting it and combing it back or tying it at the back.

  2. Take a pace away from the mirror or, use a photograph of yourself facing straight into the camera with your hair off your face as above.

  3. Draw an outline of your face with lipstick on the mirror, on transparent paper or on the photo itself.

  4. Now look at your outline and compare it 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. You can wear short, medium or long hair styles. Your face shape is in even proportion.

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. For hair above the chin line, wear an off-center parting to break up the roundness. 

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 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.
