Hairstyle by type of facial hair

Whatever the shape of your face - round, oval, square, heart or long - no haircuts that look best on you, and some that are not flattering (unless you're an oval, in which case you look well almost all).

To find the shape of your face, see what my face shape?

Round faces

Square faces

Oval Faces

Long faces

Heart Shaped Faces

Downplay the bad, in turn highlighted the good

I have a longface. If you scroll down this page you can see for yourself. My face is long and narrow forehead crowned by an IMAX ("big forehead is a sign of intelligence," my friend says Laura. I do not think). Because I have a long face, you should not use my long hair.

Long hair tends to drag a long face down. This is the basic rule to find a hairstyle for your face shape: You do not want to put their problems. This means that if you have a round face, do not want short curly hair that makes her round face look more round, but unlike me, you can get away with long hair.

If you have a square face, you have to play down his, strong angular jaw. The texture, the shape of loops or broken ends, it does brilliantly.

Oval faces tend to look good in everything but their faces can appear long, so be careful not to increase the height above the head. Also, if your hair is thick or curly, avoid blunt cut. You'll look like a pyramid.

For us girls face time, then we should avoid long hair, you can get away with it if we cut in long layers that fell on the cheeks and chin. The long, wavy hair also looks good for us because the waves add width to the sides of the long face (inspired by these pictures). Unfortunately, my hair is stick straight and I'm too lazy to curl hair every day of my life. But if you want long hair and has a long face, so as to give you beachy waves.

I cut my hair after a particularly bad breakup and loved it. Short hair suitable for my face and long straight hair perfectly, made me feel sophisticated and a little nervous, and allowed me to stand out among a sea of ​​Manhattan women with long hair. But then I decided to start dating again and although I know there are men out there who are madly attracted to women with short hair, I have never found, so I decided to push my hair a few years ago. I met a wonderful man, quiet, does not seem concerned about the length of my hair and told me last week that I like better in a ponytail.

Short hair tends to respond to all face shapes, although each face shape has questions to consider when cutting step. Round faces, for example, you can look around a bad shortcut. And avoid shortcuts if you have super curly hair.

Hair texture: as important as face shape

The texture of your hair is as important as the shape of your face when it comes to choosing the perfect haircut. There are six basic hair textures (fine, straight, wavy, thick, curly and frizzy) and each has a lot of rules such as "curly hair does not look too short" and "beautiful hair is not very long."

I believe in breaking the rules, though. And in my article on hair texture that detail what the rules and worth paying attention to and it breaks. Check it out: 10 things every woman should know about hair texture.

Consider your body type

When considering a new haircut, you should think about your body type. Tall women with straight hair and boyish figures could be like pinheads a pixie haircut. If you are cute and small, avoid super long that can outshine a little body hair. It can appear as one of the sons of the parade. You know that? 8 with extensions?

If you have more than 55 years, is not cut all the hair?

I despise beauty rules that put women in a box. Things like older women should cut their hair and dye her gray hair. The rule of thumb for older women remains: finding a jacket that does its best features and minimize your not so great. If people compliment you on your eyes, think long side swept bangs like these. If you have thick hair, wavy, let it grow down to his shoulders or just above and wear. If you have fine hair and lifeless, consider a shorter cut with lots of layers of this type.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of information out there especially for older women, so he created a group for you:

I read somewhere that the best photograph square faces. Apparently, the angles of the jaw and cheeks mean square faces do not shoot "flat". I also read somewhere that women with square faces tend to age better than the rest of us. As long faces just get thinner and longer, round faces tend to be more rounded, square faces tend to stay in shape and angle.

So that's why I like the square face above all other forms of the face, even the perfect oval face.
