Stay in Shape - Choosing a Hairstyle That Suits Your Face Structure
Have you ever considered how the shape of your face affects the hairstyle you should have? Read on to find out how to match your face with your new hairstyle.
Are you thinking of having a new hairstyle this summer? When deciding what look to go for it is important that you consider the shape of your face and what styles will compliment this. Even a really well executed haircut can look out of place on the wrong shaped face. The main aim is to frame your features to create an attractive overall balance.
Your chosen style should accentuate your best features whilst removing attention from less pleasing attributes. A reputable hairstylist should instinctively know what sort of look would suit you, however if you go into the salon armed with some knowledge of you own then you can communicate well with them to achieve your desired result. Below are some tips of which styles suit particular face shapes.
Square
GO FOR: A feathered style that is soft around the ears. There should be some roundness to the shape
AVOID: Overly short or long styles that will accentuate your jaw bone
Oval
GO FOR: You are lucky, any style if well created, will look good on you
AVOID: Wearing your hair so it covers too much of your face. This will lead to you losing your face shape and could add the illusion of added weight to your face.
Heart
GO FOR: A look that creates volume around the bottom of you face to counter balance the heart shape
AVOID: Short, full styles that highlight the upper face. Do not go for a cut thats top heavy
Round
GO FOR: Lots of styles suit a round face shape, including choppy layers and a graduated bob
AVOID: Chin length hair with a rounded cut line; this will mirror and highlight you already round face shape. Also, steer clear of a short, blunt fringe
Long
GO FOR: A shorter style so that you hair appears thicker and your face will look wider.
AVOID: Anything too long, this will only lengthen your face even further
By following these basic guidelines you should be well on the way to creating your perfect look. For more in depth hair styling advice and great professional hair products visit www.gorgeouslocks.co.uk
