Choosing a New Hairstyle
Perhaps you are contemplating on trading in your long locks for a chic-looking bob this summer. When choosing a new look, it is important to remember that not all styles will look flattering because of your face shape.
Written below are some specific steps that will help you determine the right cut to frame your face and highlight your features.
The oval face can sport any hairstyle. If you have it, make the most out of your perfect proportions. That being said, avoid cuts with a part worn too low on the side or bangs that are heavy or concealing.
If you have rounded cheeks, full chin, and a fairly low forehead, you need more length and less width. Create the illusion of having proportioned features by drawing attention to the top of your head with high curls, fluffed bangs, a honey bun, or a built-up top over flattened sides. You can also keep your mane full and soft above the ears so the illusion of height is increased. Refrain from parting your hair in the middle or having flat, wide bangs.
A narrow jaw, wide cheekbones and forehead constitutes the heart-shaped face. With this, you must strike a balance on your features. Try a high part that slants straight toward the centre of the crown. This look will break the width of your forehead. Never wear straight bangs or skim your hair back.
Finally, a square face is characterised by having a jawline as wide as your cheeks, you need to add height, soften corners with curves and lengthen your face slightly. To achieve this, you can wear soft, full waves but keep them close to the head or look for styles with rounded movement. Do not wear a flat-top style or use small, tight curls.
