Your face shape is an important factor when choosing your perfect hairstyle.

Your face shape is an important factor when choosing your perfect hairstyle. Face shape can be influenced by genetics, weight loss or gain, pregnancy, aging and facial hair growth. Your face shape can be determined by looking in the mirror.

• Round faces will look best with bangs or layers to create volume around the cheeks and jawline
• Square faces should wear their hair long on top with some length around the chin to soften their appearance
• Long faces will do well with styles that have bangs/fringe or side swept bangs as it lengthens them visually; also try wearing your hair up if you’re looking for ways to minimize its appearance
• Heart-shaped faces are great candidates for messy buns as they help soften their features

• Your forehead should be roughly the same length as the top of your cheekbones, forming a triangular shape when viewed from above.
• The jawline should be visible but not sharp.
• If you see an inverted triangle (one with a point at its chin), congratulations! You have a heart-shaped face!

Look at your forehead, chin and cheekbones. Are they the same width? Look at the sides of your face – is it a curve or more flat? Look at your jawline – does it go straight, or does it curve?

You may be surprised to learn that your face shape and hairstyle are related. You’ve probably heard the old adage, “it’s not the hair but the face underneath,” but it’s true! Your face determines what kind of hair style will work best for you. Here’s how:

• Look at your forehead, chin and cheekbones. Are they the same width? Look at the sides of your face – is it a curve or more flat? Look at your jawline – does it go straight, or does it curve?
• In general, curly-haired people can wear any style they wish—they just have to make sure their curls are under control! Straight-haired people with round faces should avoid styles that add volume to their heads because this makes them look wider than they already are; also avoid bangs because they can accentuate small foreheads even more. Women with heart-shaped faces (with narrow jaws) should keep their hair long so as not to visually exaggerate their small jaws; if you want bangs or layers on top then keep them very soft and get rid of any hard lines in order so as not The rest of this content is hidden due to its high traffic volume compared with other articles on our site which means we promote it through advertising rather than direct navigation links like social media buttons (Facebook/Twitter) etc..

If your face is oval, you can try anything to be honest! Lucky you.

If you have an oval face, you are in luck. You can try anything and look great! You can rock a pixie cut or go for a long bob; whatever style you choose will suit your face perfectly.

The oval is the most sought after shape of all because it is balanced and symmetrical, which means there are no points on the face that seem to draw attention away from others. The natural angles of this shape also make it ideal for most hairstyles; long hair styles will give off a soft feel, while short cuts will create more defined lines around your forehead and chin area.

If your face is round, go for something like a short pixie cut to lengthen.

If your face is round, go for something like a short pixie cut to lengthen. The best hairstyles for round faces are those that help lengthen and slim the face–avoid styles that add volume to the sides of your face, such as bangs and heavily layered cuts. Some examples include bobs with soft layering or bangs, long side-swept bangs that frame the face, or a pixie cut with blunt ends (think: Charlize Theron).

If your face is square, look for something that will soften harsh angles. Avoid any cuts that end above your jawline as well.

If your face is square, look for something that will soften harsh angles. Avoid any cuts that end above your jawline as well.

If you have a square face shape and want to wear an updo, try a side part with long layers for balance. This can look great on thick or fine hair. Keep bangs at a medium length (think shoulder length) and ask for wispy bangs for more movement and softness around the eyes.

If you’re looking for a longer style, keep it off of your neck since many people with this face shape already have broad shoulders due to their body type — pairing longer hair with broad shoulders can make you look broader than you actually are! If you want fullness in the back then add volume at the crown by creating lowlights in light or golden tones to complement your skin tone rather than using darker tones which would create shadows under your chin area making it visible even when wearing buns or ponytails. Avoid chin-length bobs — instead go for shoulder length styles if possible so as not increase what might already be perceived as an overly masculine silhouette by adding an unnecessarily short cut into the mix as well

If you have a long face, choose something full-bodied so things balance out nicely.

If your face is long and narrow, it’s important to keep in mind that you have a lot of length to work with. If you were to choose something short and trendy, this would only draw attention to your long neck and make the rest of your face seem even more elongated. When choosing a hair style for yourself if you have a long face, opt for one that is full-bodied instead.

To get an idea of how full-bodied hairstyles might look on someone with your shape, take a look at these examples:

• A classic bob – This is an excellent option for those who want something simple yet stylish. The cut should be asymmetrical so as not to emphasize the length of the face too much; however, it should still be long enough so that there are no awkwardly long layers hanging off either side (which could make one eye look larger than another).
• A pixie cut – This cut works well because it’s both practical (because it requires less time) while also being feminine (with its soft layers) without making everything seem too bulky or thick throughout each layer itself — which may distract from any other features on top like beautiful eyes or high cheekbones!

Either way, just get what makes you feel great! You’re gorgeous!

The most important thing to keep in mind is that you should choose a hairstyle that makes you feel great. It’s easy for us to get caught up in what others might think about our new look, but at the end of the day, it’s your opinion that matters most. If you don’t like something about your appearance, chances are other people won’t either.

So go out there and rock whatever hairstyle makes you feel fabulous! You can do it—just trust yourself!

Know your face shape before deciding on a hairstyle

When you know your face shape, it will be much easier to find the perfect hairstyle for you. This is because there are specific elements that make up every face shape and type of hair. By knowing these features, you can choose a haircut that suits your facial proportions perfectly!

If you have an oval face, this means that the length of your forehead and jawline are equal to each other. You should avoid hairstyles with side bangs or blunt bangs as they will make your forehead appear longer than it actually is. In addition, since one side of your forehead has more space compared to another (due to longer foreheads), try not to wear any updos so that they don’t accentuate that part either!
