Flattering Haircuts For Different Face Shapes

By: THe Face Shaper Home | Health-and-Fitness


No matter your face shape, there will be cuts that look best on you. (Except for this style which looks great on almost everyone). Here's a quick guide of what to look for and what to avoid for 5 different face shapes. Pick yours to determine what's the most flattering haircut for your face shape.

-Oval-This is considered to be the best face shape to match a number of different hair cuts. You can have a great cut for your face, irregardless if short, long, straight, or curly. You will look your best with layers near your cheekbones, lips or chin, no matter the length of your hair. The cuts which are now popular ar bobs, long waves, and shoulder-skimming shags. The celebraties with oval faces Jada Smith, Kate Hudson, And Jessica Alba.

Avoid: Adding short layers that will head to the height of the top of your head. Avoid a blunt cut for thick and curly hair.

-Long or oblong- Bangs will create the width for your straight hair. A modern cut will include long, side-swept bangs. The appearance of width can also be achieved with chin-lenght bobs and cuts. Avoid short layers if you want curls and waves to add width. Too much volume on top will give your long face an even longer look. Ashlee Simpson, Giselle Bundchen share your face shape.

Avoid: Very long or very short cuts as they will give the appearance of making your long face look longer.

Round Your best bet are styles that fall right below your chin or add a little volume on top. Soft, graduated layers are also a great bet because they make your face appear slimmer and tend to remove bulk and weight from the sides. Bangs are flattering, but keep them long or sideswept. Go for wispy and tapered ends. These de-emphasize the roundness of your face. For more information, check out this photo gallery of best hairstyles for round face shapes. Celebs who share your face shape: Fergie, Kate Bosworth, Oprah Winfrey, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, Catherine Zeta-Jones

Avoid:Blunt cuts with short hair

-Square-You will minimize your strong, angular jaw. Texture, in the form of curls or choppy ends, do this very well. You can also get the same effect with short, spiky cuts and long, sleek styles that have layers that start at the jawline and continue downward.

Avoid: Cuts that make your square face even squarer. Blunt-cut bangs and one-lenght bobs.

Heart Your pointy chin tends to be the focal point of your face. Draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones instead with sideswept bangs (these act almost like arrows to your eyes or cheeks), brow-grazing fringe, a strong part and hair that falls at or below your jawline. Have short hair? Keep top layers soft and long. Long hair? Go for wavy layers that graze your cheekbones. Celebs who share your face shape: Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez, Rachel Bilson, Reese Witherspoon,Ziyi Zhang

Avoid: Choppy short layers and Blunt-cut bangs.
