Today I am going to discuss with you a matter which is close to my head....
Hairstyles!!!
Every face shape suits a different hairstyle. Have you ever gotten that feeling when you are staring at your bathroom mirror that something isn't right? Then you go through the options, is it my makeup? Is it my nose? Is it this beautiful blue chiffon dress I am wearing (Hell no)....then what?
Its your haircut!!!
I know every year we get brainwashed by hairstylists telling us what is the in hairstyle. One year it was the Posh Bob...and did we see a rise of women strutting their stuff down the streets in there bob hairstyle. (I have to say I got the Posh hairstyle.....I have very long and very thick hair and to chop it all off it was quite an hairstyle experience..I remember the hairdresser putting my hair in a pony tail and holding open the scissors and saying 'Are you sure....' 'I'm going to cut it now..) She did...all cut off and made into the Posh Bob...It was mighty cold that winter. But that year I was dead set on getting that do... luckily my hair is on steroids (figure of speech) so it grew back in 6 months. But it just didn't suit me. It made me look younger and girly. It was more high maintenance as well, blow dry...curl...spray more hair spray. I put my hair up most of the time..even then I found it hard to put into a pony tail with very little hair to use. But 3 years later I have found my hairstyle, a full fringe with long and layered wavy hair. It is very me and flatters my face shape.
The Posh Bob
The first step into finding the right hairstyle for you is to find out your face shape. This can be tricky so grab a mirror and start by saying mirror..mirror on the wall who is the prettiest women of them all..... :) Ok now that we have all done that look at the mirror and match up your face shape with the images below. If you still don't know grab someone to ask for their opinion.
Oval Face Shape
- Curvilinear shape.
- Length is equal to one and a half times width.
- The forehead and jaw are the same width
Round Face Shape
Circular shaped.- Length is approximately equal to width.
Do you now know your face shape??
Below are some hairstyles that would suit your face shape.
Oval Face Shape Recommend Styles:
You can get away with the long wavy hairstyle...my oh my lucky you
A Pixie Cut suits the oval face shape, If your brave enough??
Curved Bangs...adds softness to the face and shortens the length of the face shape
The Bob..try it with bangs. Not as overwhelming if you don't like long hair. Perfect style for the oval face shape.
Round Face Shape Recommended Styles:
Deflect the roundness of your face by getting a hairstyle with long layers instead of short layers which emphasizes the width of your face.
Create an angle on your face with sweeping bangs.
Long hair with long layers adds the illusion of length instead of width.
Add texture and body to your hair. But not too much.
Square Face Shape Recommended Styles:
The Angled Bob. An angled cut with long pieces in front that gradually get shorter toward the back.
Voluminous Bob
Long Layers
Avoid a blunt bang hairstyle go for sweep, soft cut bangs on the side.
Heart Face Shape Recommended Styles:
Try the deep side part, with a long side fringe.
Long hair with long bangs.
Try a shoulder length haircut.
Long layers, and waves
Diamond Face Shape Recommendations:
Chin Length Bob
Side parting paired with an updo
Block bangs
Tousled waves
I hope that has helped you on your quest to find the right hairstyle and cut to suit your own face shape.
