Stay in Shape - Choosing a Hairstyle That Suits Your Face Structure

Posted: Jul 21, 2009 |Comments: 0 | Views: 347 |

Are you thinking of having a new hairstyle this summer? When deciding what look to go for it is important that you consider the shape of your face and what styles will compliment this. Even a really well executed haircut can look out of place on the wrong shaped face. The main aim is to frame your features to create an attractive overall balance.

Your chosen style should accentuate your best features whilst removing attention from less pleasing attributes. A reputable hairstylist should instinctively know what sort of look would suit you, however if you go into the salon armed with some knowledge of you own then you can communicate well with them to achieve your desired result. Below are some tips of which styles suit particular face shapes.

Square

GO FOR: A feathered style that is soft around the ears. There should be some roundness to the shape

AVOID: Overly short or long styles that will accentuate your jaw bone


Oval

GO FOR: You are lucky, any style if well created, will look good on you

AVOID: Wearing your hair so it covers too much of your face. This will lead to you losing your face shape and could add the illusion of added weight to your face.


Heart

GO FOR: A look that creates volume around the bottom of you face to counter balance the heart shape

AVOID: Short, full styles that highlight the upper face. Do not go for a cut that’s top heavy


Round

GO FOR: Lots of styles suit a round face shape, including choppy layers and a graduated bob

AVOID: Chin length hair with a rounded cut line; this will mirror and highlight you already round face shape. Also, steer clear of a short, blunt fringe


Long

GO FOR: A shorter style so that you hair appears thicker and your face will look wider.

AVOID: Anything too long, this will only lengthen your face even further

By following these basic guidelines you should be well on the way to creating your perfect look. For more in depth hair styling advice and great professional hair products visit www.gorgeouslocks.co.uk.
