Hairstyle For Each Face Shape - What Hairstyle Suits My Face?

Hairstyle For Oval Face

One of the ideal face shapes for women is oval, which has perfect proportions. The Oval face is not long or wide either. If you are one of the lucky people with an oval face, just try whatever hairstyle and haircut you want. Sassy pixies, blunt bobs or long glamorous waves still look good on you. Do not forget to highlight your features with your hairstyle! Beyonce and Sharon Stone are celebrities, who are the visual for perfectly shaped oval faces.

Hairstyle For Face Shape - Round Face

Round face is an equal face shape in height and width, which can have chubby cheeks but no pronounced jaw corners. About hairstyle for this face shape, you should choose a deep side part and long side bangs to minimize roundness. In general, medium and long hairstyles are recommended. Besides that, you can pull off with the pixie hairstyle. Have a choppy pixie by adding an edge to your look for instance. You can be inspired by Ginnifer Goodwin'x pixie.

Square Face Haircut 

Square is seen as a musculine face shape, but we have to admit that Angelina Jolie, Olivia Wilde, Demi Moore, and Keira Knightley are beautiful with square faces. This face shape has the angular jawline as well as approximately equal in width and length of the face. Therefore, the suitable haircut for a square face needs to soften the angles and add some height on top.

If you own a square face, you can try a long waves hairstyle or loose medium length hair. Blunt straight bangs are not a good option for you, which can accentuate your strong jawline and at the same time make your face look wider. You should not try extra-short bobs or slicked back hairstyles either as it will make you look rather masculine.

Hairstyle For Long (Oblong) Face Shape 

A long or oblong face is quite similar to an oval face but it is a bit longer and narrower. The nice examples to list here are Sarah Jessica Parker and Liv Tyler. The recommendations for long face hairstyles are opposite with the mentioned above for round and square faces. You should let the volume of your hairstyle concentrate at the sides instead of on the crown. You should choose layered haircuts with layering starting as high as cheekbones. Moreover, blunt horizontal bangs, wide waves or fluffy curls are suitable for you. Do not add height above your forehead as it unflatteringly elongates your face.

Heart Face Or Inverted Triangle Face Haircut 

When you see a face with a wide forehead and cheekbones narrowed towards the pointy chin, this is a heart face or inverted triangle face. The perfect examples for this face shape is Kourtney Kardashian with a heart face and Anja Rubik with an inverted triangle face. The suggested hairstyle for two face shapes are quite the same. If your face is a heart-shaped or inverted triangle, you can try bouncy curls from mid-length to ends. The curls will add the fullness to your chin level and compensate for the contrast between the narrow jaw and the broad forehead. Beside that, long swoopy bangs are a great compliment for this face shape. You should not add any volume on the top because it will widen your forehead even more visually.
