The Best Hairstyle for Your Face Shape

Find Out What Hairstyles Suit Your Face Shape

Try to leave trends and fashion aside when choosing a haircut. There are hundreds of women haircuts out there, but not all of them are meant to suit your particular face shape.
If you want to define your features in the best possible manner, it is very important to choose the right style according to the shape of your face. Getting the best haircut for your face will also emphasize your best features.
You can easily determine your face shape by pulling back your hair tightly in a high ponytail and take a good look at the outlines of your face – the size and shape of the forehead compared to the cheeks and chin will indicate your face shape.

The main feature of a round face is the circular shape that is as wide as it’s long and is usually characterized with a round chin and also round hairline.

The goal is to minimize the roundness of the face- to elongate it.
For short haircuts, try to avoid blunt cuts. The shag will work best on you, because it’s heavily layered and keeps the sides of your hair short or closer to the face and also provides instant height at the crown.
Longer, layered hairstyles can also give the appearance of a longer face and slenderize the neck. The most flattering bangs for a round face are soft, feathery bangs, or the side-sweeping ones, that gently hug the cheeks and minimize their width.

Oval Face Shape

The main feature of an oval face is the forehead that’s usually wider as compared to the chin, also broader cheeks that taper in at the forehead. Hairline is gently rounded and the approximate length is equal to one and a half times width.
