Hair Styles For Every Shape Of Face

Submitted on January 5, 2009 by writer1

Oval Shape Face

If your face is oval, then any style of hair can go well with it. Be it bobbed or layered, short or long, tied or open, just about any style goes well with this shape of the face.

Square Shape Face

The edges of the square shaped face can be softened or smoothened by directing the hair down on the temples.

If you have long hair, then make it fall past the shoulders. But if you are the short hair type, then get it cut in such a style that the edges are round or U shaped and the length should be at the crown.

Round Shape Face

If the shape of your face is round, style your hair to cover the sides of your face and promote the length of the hair at the crown.

The perfect style of hair is layered shag. However, if you like long hair or shoulder length hair, then always remember to wear a side parting, never a middle one.

Diamond Shape Face

A diamond shape face has a narrow chin, so in order to balance the chin, go for a cut and style that is round in shape. Wide bunches of hair help in getting the diamond shape look like oval. However, the best choice of hair is a bob that falls on the chin.

Pear Shape Face

If your face type is pear shaped, then pay attention to the top of the crown so that the hair can match the wide jaws.

If you are the long hair type, then tuck the hair behind the ears to make the cheeks look thin. The ideal hair length for this shape of face is just near the neckline. It should not pass it because longer hair makes the jaws look wider.

Heart Shape Face

One can flatter the heart shaped faces by soft, curly styles. Hair length should be to the chin, so as to make the narrow chin look wider. One can also go for the bunch, brushed to one side.
