Find the hair style which fits you

The way you do your hair must flatter your face and enhance your best features. Not all hairstyle will look good on you unless it fits the shape of your face. Let's look at the different hairstyles that are considered most flattering for each shape of face.

An oval face. Congratulations! You got the perfect shape because almost any hairstyle will go with oval. You will do well with having layers near your chin or cheekbones to draw attention to them. However, try to avoid hairstyles that add volumes to the top of your head, it will make your face look longer.

A long face. If you have a long face, you should create the illusion of width to balance it out. You can add width to your face by doing your hair with long, side-swept bangs or chin-length bobs, curls and waves that frame the face. Avoid letting your hair grow extremely long or having your hair cut extremely short. Such extreme hairstyles will take the width from your face and emphasize its length.

A round face. People with round faces need to take some of the width and bulk off by adding length. If your face is round you need to create the illusion of length by having your hair cut just below your chin, or in graduated layers. Do not do your hair in short, one-length, blunt cuts, as it will only draw attention to the roundness of your face.

A square face. Having a square face means having an angular jaw. The hairstyle trick with having a square face is drawing attention away from that jaw. This is done by putting texture to your hair. Short curls do exactly this, as well as long layers that start just below the jawline. Avoid having your hair cut in one-length bobs or wear bangs that are cut bluntly. It will only emphasize the squareness of your face.

A heart-shaped face. If you have a heart-shaped face, you could bring focus to your eyes by wearing side-swept bangs, a fringe on your brow or long layers at the top. Or you could let your hair grow and have it done with layers that touch your cheekbones.
