How to Choose Your Haircut According to Your Face Shape
Selecting your next hairstyle may not be rocket science, but it is an important task. You can’t take a risk when it comes to your hair styling. A bad haircut can ruin your looks, and not all suit your face. Moreover, the hair texture and its type also matter. Therefore you need to choose a hairstyle according to your face shape that will add to your beauty, complement your best features, and give you confidence.
To know your suitable hairstyle, first you need to know your face shape, which you do by yourself or ask your hairdresser to do it for you. But how do you determine which haircut will suit your face shape? All face shapes are different. So, let’s see how to know which haircut will serve you according to face cuts.
Oval face
Whether you have long or short hair, you can wear any hairstyle. One should feel lucky if they have an oval shape as it is one of the ideal face shapes. People who have this face shape can go for almost every hairstyle.
You can part in the middle side or try both alternatively. Straight, textured or curled, everything suits you.
Round face
If your face is round, you might already know that it looks fuller, and you need a haircut to reduce it. People with curly hair should avoid going for a short haircut for a round face and instead opt for a long haircut. However, a pixie haircut with long, side-swept bangs falling on the cheekbones will suit some of you if you have sleek and straight hair.
Long face
People with long face shapes should avoid too long and too short haircuts because they only highlight the face’s length. But if you still want a long haircut, try keeping some fringe that will break the distance and compliment the forehead.
Square face
If you have a square face, then your face is very angular. The length and width of the face are almost central, so the focus should be moved from the strong jawline. You can go for textured hair, either choppy or curly. Also, it looks great for a long layered hairstyle with a middle parting and brushed ends inwards.
Diamond face
If you have a diamond face, you need a haircut to balance out the narrow chin, reduce the broad cheekbones, and lessen the overall face’s length. You should go for haircuts that will soften your features. Keep away from straight bangs and compliment styles, and focus on parts and bangs that are excessively short. For longer lengths, make sure to add layers. Jawline bangs can be an incredible choice as they truly help to emphasize the highlights.
Heart shape
Assuming that you have this face shape, your focal point is your forehead. So, instead, you need to bring notice to your eyes and cheekbones. A fringe works best to do so. Flowy wavy hair arriving at your jaw approaches your face well. A side-cleared wispy fringe covers the vast temple without totally concealing it. Stay away from crown-weight haircuts.
Triangle face
If your face is shaped like an A-Triangle, you need to draw attention away from the jawline as it is more comprehensive than your forehead. To do so, you can go for fringes and bangs. If you have wavy hair, you will also look good with shoulder or little longer-length hair with side-swept bangs.
V-Triangle face
For someone with a V-Triangle face, you need to give the illusion of wider cheekbones and jawlines and draw attention away from the forehead. You should opt for side bangs as they will narrow down the forehead, but never for straight bags as they will highlight the forehead. A bob, especially the long bob, will suit your face as it has soft, balancing cuts to frame the face well.
So, when you go for your next haircut, you know what you want to make your look even prettier. But even if you can’t figure it out, don’t worry. You can go to a unisex salon, and the hairstylist will know which haircut to give you.
