Q.

What hairstyle will best suit my face shape?

A.

The following are some typical guidelines for styles that suit different face shapes.

Round Face: Side partings flatter a round face whilst middle partings make your face look rounder. Half fringe or no fringe gives the appearance of a longer face (a full fringe shortens a round face).

Height on top, hair going back takes away roundness (flat hair shortens the face) Hair feathered around will give your face a longer look.

Long hair is more flattering than short. (A short bob will round out your face more) If your hair is short, try and leave some softness at the back and height on top. This will make your face look longer.

Long Face: Bobs are the best way of adding width to a long face. Volume at the sides not on top. Height on top will make your face look longer). Shorter hair rather than long tends to be more flattering.

Full fringes are best (half fringes add length to the face). Middle partings add more width (side partings will make your face look longer.). Hair brushed back at sides and roundness lifted out will give you more width to a long face. Don't brush hair feathered on to face as this will make your face look longer.

Square Face: Lots of soft layers longer than jaw line onto face will disguise square jaws. Don't have severe brushed back styles.

Length will soften. Short crops do not flatter this face shape. Long bobs are OK. (Keep away from jaw length bobs as they accentuate square ness)

Oval Face: If you have an oval face shape then you are lucky as you can wear most styles.
