How to choose a haircut in the shape of a face

When changing the image, a key role is played by a hairstyle. But one cannot approach the issue of her choice irresponsibly: “I saw this hairstyle from the model, I will do one.” After all, the hair, which is given the wrong shape, can disfigure the face. How then to choose a suitable hairstyle? To begin with, we note that all persons are divided into several types. Each of them has its own characteristics, disadvantages and advantages. Our task is to hide the first and emphasize the latter. Now let's start determining the shape of the face and the selection of the hairstyle.

Selection of haircuts for facial shape

Oval shape of the face

Girls with this shape were very lucky - you can’t spoil them with any haircut. Therefore, when choosing, pay attention to other factors:

when choosing the length, make sure that the hairstyle comes under the shape of your nose and glasses if you wear them;
for thin hair, hairstyles are recommended to the middle of the chin;
women who have reached the age of forty should not grow their hair below the chin and cover their face.

Round shape of the face

Choosing a haircut for this shape, we try to make it visually more elongated. This will help:

haircuts that will make high hairstyles;
short steps;
hairstyles with large curls;
bangs combed to one side;
if your face is round both in profile and in anfas - feel free to comb your hair back.

At the same time, a list of what is contraindicated in your face:

too thick bangs;
too voluminous hairstyle;
too short haircut;
straight or intense curled hair.

Oblong shape of the face

A haircut for this face should visually make it not so elongated - increase the width or reduce the length. For this:

hair should not be longer than shoulders;
the hairstyle must framed the face, close the ears;
be sure to have a bang, what it is - depends on the characteristics of the face. Narrow - wide bangs, too long - straight, to the eyebrows.

With this type of face, you should not wear high hairstyles, comb your hair, and also open your forehead - all this visually lengthens the already elongated face.

Square shape of the face

Square faces are often very sharp. When choosing a haircut, try to soften the lines. For this:

try to avoid short haircuts;
try to choose a high or asymmetric hairstyle suitable for you;
do the parting with lateral, or do not do it at all;
curl hair slightly: wavyness is suitable for you.

Avoid any straight lines in your hairstyle: straight hair, a straight line of the haircut (especially if it is on the chin line), combing that open the straight lines of the chin.

The triangular shape of the face

The face of the shape of the heart characterizes the contrast between a narrow chin and a wide forehead. Our task is to smooth it out. For this:

the best hair length is from the beginning to the end of the neck;
hairstyles should be narrow on top and expand to the bottom. This can be achieved if you tighten the hair;
a small bang will not hurt.

For your type of face, too short haircuts will not go, as well as haircuts with straight lines, combed side hair: they excessively secrete cheekbones. Also, do not completely open your face.

Diamond shape of the face

When choosing a hairstyle for this shape of the face, try to expand your forehead and chin so that your face looks more proportionally. Many hairstyles will cope with this task, so it remains to give recommendations about what should be avoided when choosing a hairstyle:
