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.
In front of a mirror, pull your hair off your face by wetting it and combing it back or tying it at the back.
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.
Draw an outline of your face with lipstick on the mirror, on transparent paper or on the photo itself.
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.
