Most flattering haircuts for your face shape is the one that takes into consideration all the unique features of your face. There is no one right answer to a particular cut, but there are some general rules of thumb that you can use to get started. Let’s take a look at some face-shaped hair cuts.
Almost anyone has a round or oval face. Round faces usually have more flat hair than higher set hair. This results in more roundness, and so side to side haircuts are best for these faces. Some people with this face shape also have hair that is close to their eyes, and so bangs will add height to their face as well as provide a balance. You can also curl some of your hair behind your ears to create an elegant style, but this should be avoided if your face is not that large.
Square faces have more round hair than the other two shapes, but their bones are usually more square than the rest of their face. You will want to keep your hair short and spiky, since long hair does not flatter a square shaped face. Shorter hair cuts are usually best for this shape, as long as they do not go too long on the sides.
An oval face is symmetrical from the top down. The sides are round, and the hair is naturally tapered to your chin. An inside to outside chop will give you a very symmetrical look and is great for those with narrow faces. A side to side buzz will give you more width and balance and is also very good on those with an oval jaw line.
Women with a triangular face have plenty of options when it comes to hair cuts. They can go with anything that highlights their jaw line or adds some side definition. Most women naturally have wavy hair, and this looks great when cut in the front and left to flow down the sides. Depending on how much hair you have to work with, your sides could be cut long or short. A blunt chop on either side of your forehead will give you some balance and structure.
Women with a long face should stay away from a blunt cut. Instead, they should try and get their hair cut longer at the temples, then cut the hair at the top of their head. This gives a balanced look and also draws attention to the temples. You can also add some side interest with a side part. A side part is good for anyone who has a lot of hair that needs to be hidden.
For anyone who has a heart shaped face, you are looking for a good compromise between a side part and a side cut. You want to make sure that your hair is slightly off center, but not enough to where it looks like your hair stops functioning as a whole. A blunt chop will do this. A more oval shaped bob is better as it elongates your face and lifts the hair off center.
Finding what is the best for your face shape isn’t always an easy task. Most professionals will tell you that the best option is to visit an experienced hairdresser. This way you can be sure that the style you choose will fit your face properly. You also don’t risk getting something that doesn’t work well on you. Having a professional trim your locks are going to ensure that you are happy with the final outcome.
