Your face shape is very important when it comes to getting your perfect hair cut or style. Hair stylists when designing a hair style for your hair should always consider your face shape and will try to use your hair to frame the face in such a way as to make it appear oval (oval is considered the perfect face shape). Face shapes are categorized as being either oval, square, long/rectangular, round, heart, diamond or pear shaped. The easiest way to make sure you
end up with a hairstyle to suit your face is to work out what face shape you have:
- Look at your face shape by pulling
all of your hair out of the way.
- Decide which of the following
basic shapes of face you have by comparing your face to our
or other pictures then select from the following to read all
about what is best for you:
Oval
Square
Rectangular/long
Round
Heart
Diamond
Pear
When you read the advice that applies to your particular face shape also think about it in context to what your hair does naturally e.g. if you have a strong natural parting it is probably better to go with it than spending your whole life fighting against it. A combination of all this knowledge will allow you to make the right decision when asking a hairdresser to do a particular style.
