When it comes to deciding on a new hair style there are a few things to concider before in order to create a look that is porportionate to each and every face structure. Most importantly is to decide which face shape we fall under and there are seven. A hairstyle can change your look dramatically and this is why I will explain each facial shape and what would be the ideal look for each and every one. At this point would be great to grab a hand held mirror and observe your shape and decide acording to which image best describes your face structure.
ROUND FACIAL TYPE
Facial Contour: Round hairline and round chin line.
Aim: To create the illusion of legth to the face.
Arranging the hair high on top of the head, and leaving the ears exposed or dressed flat over the ears will help minimize the roundness of the face.
SQUARE FACIAL TYPE
Facial Contour: Straight hairline and square jawline.
Aim: To create the illusion of legth and offset the squarenessof the features.
The problems of the square facial type are similar to those of the round. Hair lifted at sides but higher on one side will add to the apparent legth to the face.
PEAR-SHAPE FACIAL TYPE
Facial Contouring: Narrow forehead, wide jawline and chin line.
Aim: To create the illusion of width in the forehead and legth in the face.
Keeping the hair dressed fairly full and high above the ears and leaving the forehead exposed will add to the apparent width of the forehead and legth of the face.
OBLONG FACIAL TYPE
Facial Contour: Long narrow face with hollow cheeks.
Aim: To make the face appear shorter and wider.
The hair should be styled fairly close to the top of the head with a fringe of curls or bangs. Combined with fullness at the sides, it will help to reduce the apparent legth of the face.
DIAMOND FACIAL TYPE
Facial Contour: Narrow forehead , extreme width through the cheek bones and narrow chin.
Aim: To reduce the width across the cheekbone line.
Increasing the fullness across the forehead and at the jawline, while keeping the hair close to the head at the cheekbone line will help to create the illusion of ovalness to the face.
HEART-SHAPE FACIAL TYPE
Facial Contour: Wide forehead and narrow chin line.
Aim: To decrease the width of the foreheadand increase the width in the lower part of the face.
To reduce width of forehead, a hairstyle slanted to one side is recomended. Add width and softness at the jawline.
