Did you know the most flattering hairstyle for you is likely not the one that is in all rage this season? Rather it is more likely one that compliments your face shape. So just by determining your face shape you can find out the best hairstyles for you as the following salon secrets reveal.
First you need to know what type of face you have. If you don’t know then stand facing a mirror. Clip your hair back off your forehead. Then with the help of a lipstick draw the outline of your face on the mirror. This should give you a good idea.
Say you see an oval on the mirror. Then you’re in luck as most any hair style is in play. That’s because oval faces are not limited like other face shape may be.
Even better oval shaped faces can be accentuated with layers. Simply have them cut in near what aspect you want to emphasize be it your chin, cheek bones or lips. Layers like these tend to set off facial features. Just don’t go crazy and let the hairdresser cut in layers too near your crown.
If your face is heart shaped then you want cuts that will help balance your wider forehead and narrower chin. Typically those would be styles that offer more fullness at your jaw line. So something like a shoulder skimming shag would be good as the long layers of such a cut de-emphasize your chin.
Another idea would be side swept bangs that minimize your forehead while putting emphasis on your eyes – as bangs usually do.
If the lipstick outline says it is round face you’ve got then the goal is to create a slimmer one. You do that with layers, choppy bangs, geometric cuts and angled layers. Remember too offer center parts are best for you.
Those with squarer faces need to work to soften the jaw line. Do so with styling tricks like long bangs, graduated layers. Even loose ringlets can help. Such styling tricks along with center or off center parts can help to blur the edges of your face as well.
Those with long faces should gravitate towards styles that develop the illusion of width. Those would include most of the bobs and any of the chin length styles. To be avoided are any extremes to the long or short side.
These are just a few thing to remember for your next trip to the salon. Since you now know why face shape matters in the hair style selection process.
