Step 1: Identify Your Face Shape
The first step is to figure out which face shape you have. There are six common face shapes:
1. Oval: Balanced proportions, slightly narrower at the jawline, with a gently rounded hairline.
2. Round: Equal width and length, with soft angles and a rounded chin.
3. Square: Strong, angular jawline with equal width and length.
4. Heart: Wider forehead with a narrow, pointed chin.
5. Diamond: Narrow forehead and jawline with prominent cheekbones.
6. Long/Oblong: Longer face, with the length greater than the width.
To determine your face shape, pull your hair back and trace the outline of your face in a mirror with a lipstick or dry-erase marker.
Step 2: Choose the Right Hairstyle for Your Face Shape
Once you know your face shape, you can select a hairstyle that enhances your natural features.
• Oval Face Shape
Best Hairstyles: Most styles work well with an oval face, so you have a lot of flexibility. Consider short bobs, medium-length cuts with layers, and long, voluminous waves. Side parts, textured curls, or sleek straight styles also work great.
• Round Face Shape
Best Hairstyles: Hairstyles that add length and definition to the face. Opt for angular cuts like long layers, chin-length bobs, or high-volume hairstyles. Avoid blunt bangs or rounded curls, as they can make the face appear rounder.
• Square Face Shape
Best Hairstyles: Soften angular features with hairstyles that create movement. Go for layered, asymmetrical cuts, soft waves, or long, textured hairstyles. A side-swept fringe can also help soften the jawline.
• Heart Face Shape
Best Hairstyles: Hairstyles that balance the forehead and chin, such as side-parted styles or shoulder-length cuts. A chin-length bob or soft curls can add volume to the lower part of your face, drawing attention away from a pointed chin.
• Diamond Face Shape
Best Hairstyles: Hairstyles that emphasize the cheekbones while softening the sharp jawline. Try medium to long layers, deep side parts, or a layered pixie cut. Adding volume around the forehead or creating waves can balance the shape of the face.
• Long/Oblong Face Shape
Best Hairstyles: Hairstyles that add width and volume to the sides of your face. A medium-length bob or shoulder-length style works well, as does a fringe or bangs to shorten the face length. Loose waves or curls also create a fuller look.
Step 3: Consult a Professional Stylist
Even with a good understanding of your face shape, a professional stylist can provide personalized advice based on your hair texture, lifestyle, and preferences. Schedule a consultation with your stylist to find the best cut for you!
