HEART SHAPE |
|
Wide At The Forehead, Narrowing
To A Point At The Jawline |

around your narrow chin.
Styles to try: soft and
curly chin-length hairstyles would suit best. A chin
length bob is a great style that creates a balanced
look by giving fullness and balance where you need it.

that emphasize your upper face.

OBLONG SHAPE |
|
The Face Is Longer Than It
Is Wide |
Oblong faces have high foreheads and long
chins and require haircuts that add width and volume.
Styles to try: haircuts that will
mostly suit are anything that is short to medium length,
such as the "Wedge" style.
Styles to avoid: too much hair length
will make an oblong face look even longer. We suggest
that you keep your hair above shoulder length and if
possible, avoid styles with no fringe.

| PEAR SHAPE/TRIANGLE SHAPE |
The Forehead And Cheekbones
Are Narrow With A Wide Jawline |
The objective is to narrow your chin
and widen your forehead.
Styles to try: shorter
hairstyles that balance the prominent jawline would
suit, with lots of layers added to achieve fullness
and to balance the upper part of your face. Hairstyles
that are full at the temples like the "Wedge"
style will look great.
Styles to avoid: long,
full hairstyles that draw attention to the jawline and
styles that add width, such as haircuts that kick out
at the bottom.

ROUND FACE |
|
Circular Shaped
|
The best way to flatter a round face
is to create an oval appearance which will lift your facial
features.
Styles to try: a below
the chin haircut that keeps the sides close to your
face and promotes height at the crown is a great style.
Hairstyles that are longer than chin length will also
suit, and by layering the top to achieve fullness, and
keeping the cut relatively close to the face, your face
shape will appear longer and narrower. Styles that include
short fringes will also add length to your face.
Styles to avoid: curly
styles emphasize roundness and should be avoided as
well as very long styles and ones that pull back tight
off your face.

SQUARE SHAPE |
|
A Strong Forehead And Jawline |
The square face is angular with a
broad, square forehead. The objective is to create an
oval appearance and lift your facial features.
Styles to try: short
to medium length hairstyles, especially with wave or
roundness around the face, will suit you best. Soften
the edges of your face with layers and wear long hair
at, or past your shoulders. Your hair would look best
parted down one side with a swept away fringe to create
a different angle. If your hair is straight, you may
want to consider a body wave to achieve a nice balance
to the straight features of this face shape.
Styles to avoid: a square
geometric cut, long bobs with heavy fringes, and all
styles that part down the middle.
