How to choose the right hairstyle and haircut

A properly chosen haircut can work wonders; it can be used to disguise imperfections and highlight the advantages of your appearance. To solve this problem, you can contact a stylist or do it yourself.

Which haircut suits your face shape

Analysis of the anatomical features and shape of the face will help you choose the right hairstyle. The main task is to correct the shape of the face and bring it closer to an oval.

Standing in front of a mirror, put your hair in a bun or ponytail and outline your face with a lip or eyebrow pencil. Determine which geometric figure it resembles most.

Oval

An oval face shape has approximately the same parameters for the forehead and chin. Its widest part is at the eye line. The oval is the standard: this type of face goes well with almost all hairstyles and bangs.

But there are features that you should consider:

• Hairstyles with volume on the top of the head are not suitable for you: it visually elongates the face;
• Avoid long thick bangs: they visually reduce the proportions of the face.

Round

The width and height of a round face are almost the same, the forehead is low, the chin is small, and the cheekbones are wide. The main task when choosing a hairstyle is to visually elongate the face. Long haircuts and asymmetry will suit you:

• side parting;
• oblique or asymmetrical bangs covering most of the forehead, or elongated and combed to the side. And also, multi-layered bangs are suitable, which will add volume to the forehead;
• asymmetrical haircuts - cascade, Italian, lengthening bob on one side;
• concentrate the volume in the area of ​​the crown.

Not suitable for round faces:

• smooth hairstyles;
• thick arched bangs (length to the eyebrow line), short torn or absent;
• straight parting;
• perm;
• haircuts with a round shape (for example, sessun) look bad;
• curls at the level of the cheekbones and cheeks;
• chin length hair.

Square

A square face is characterized by equal height and width, a heavy lower jaw and a wide forehead. Choose a haircut so as to visually reduce the width of your face and soften its angularity.

Suitable for you:

• side parting;
• oblique elongated bangs laid on one side;
• light thinning of bangs;
• hair below the chin;
• layered asymmetrical hairstyles with volume at the crown;
• easy coloring: you can slightly change the color of the hair framing the face.

Avoid:

• straight parting;
• smooth hair combed back or to the sides;
• haircuts up to the lower jaw line;
• styling with an open forehead;
• smooth long bangs made with a straight cut;
• curls at chin level.

Diamond-shaped

This type of face has a narrow forehead and a small, pointed chin. The greatest width occurs at the cheekbones. When choosing a haircut, they solve the following problem: to balance the narrowest and widest zones, to give the face softness.

Suitable for you:

• light curls or waves in the chin area;
• long bangs (to the chin);
• milled voluminous bangs slightly below the eyebrows;
• Asymmetrical haircuts of different lengths and thinning at the ends look good. Suitable options would be bob, A-bob, ladder and cascade.

• haircuts without bangs;
• short torn bangs;
• slicked hair;
• central parting;
• an even cut of hair, without thinning at the ends;
• very short haircuts (garcon, pixie);
• additional volume in the cheekbone area

Triangular

The triangular face shape is similar to the diamond shape, but unlike it has a wide forehead. You immediately need to decide what goal you are pursuing: you want to balance the proportions of your face or emphasize the atypical architecture of your cheekbones.

If the goal is to balance the proportions of the face, then the following will suit you:

• oblique or side bangs, which hide most of the forehead, or long, milled ones that reach the eyebrows;
• trapezoidal haircut options, in which the greatest volume falls on the line of the earlobe or 2-3 cm below (waves, curls, bobs with ends curled outward);
• layered cascade haircuts;
• A hairstyle with a side parting will look good.

Want to highlight your cheekbones? Then take a closer look at short and medium-length haircuts (for example, an A-bob with side strands just below the chin).

What is better to avoid:

• parting in the center;
• no bangs and hair combed smoothly on both sides;
• flat bangs, made with a straight cut or shortened torn;
• volume in the crown area;
• long straight hair, the lower edge of which is cut off at the same level.

Rectangular

The width of the face is less than its length. The forehead, cheekbones and chin are approximately the same. It will look good:

• arched (to the eyebrows), side or oblique bangs;
• asymmetry with milled ends and a length just below the chin (bob-bob, cascade and ladder);
• the ends of the hair covering the corners of the chin, visually softening them;
• additional volume in the cheekbone area;
• waves and curls;
• side parting

Not suitable for you:

• open forehead hairstyles;
• styling with smoothly combed temples;
• straight parting;
• straight bangs, cut at chin level;
• slicked long hair;
• volumetric styling in the crown area;
• very short haircuts.

Long/thin

The difference between the length and width of the face is more than 1:6, which makes it appear thin. The following will work for this:

• lush hair of medium length, with additional volume on the side (cascade, aurora, cap);
• arched or long oblique bangs;
• layered graduation of strands;
• side parting

A long face does not go well with:

• straight strands hanging along the face;
• lack of bangs;
• excessively short haircuts;
• central parting;
• hair combed smoothly up or to the sides;
• backcombing in the crown area;
• styling in the form of a mohawk.

How to hide imperfections in appearance with hairstyles

In addition to the shape of the face, when choosing a haircut or bangs, it is important to consider the presence of other parameters:

• A person with a large or long nose looks good with medium-length layered haircuts, side-parted bangs and side parting. You can also do a little backcombing at the back of the head. It is better to avoid smoothly combed straight hair, parting in the middle, high and short hairstyles.

• Snub-nosed girls Long and well-profiled bangs are suitable. Avoid perfectly straight hair and smooth styling, small waves and curls. The best option is large curls and waves.
• Hide a high or low forehead bangs help: long bangs are suitable for a low forehead, short ones are suitable for a high forehead. Smoothly combed hair is contraindicated.
• Visually extend the short neck You can use short haircuts, the back edging of which is made in the shape of an elongated cape. A good option would be an A-bob haircut: its side strands visually lengthen a short neck. If a woman has long hair, updos will also help to visually lengthen her neck. It is advisable to avoid buns, braids and ponytails located at the back of the head.

• Long thin neck it looks more proportional if you add it with a shoulder-length cascade. Styles that expose the neck are contraindicated. But some women prefer to show off their swan neck, so they go for short hairstyles.
• Small sloping chin balanced with an A-bob or long straight hair that lengthens the face.
• Brighten up a heavy chin Any type of bangs helps, except for a perfectly straight one that follows the line of the lower jaw. The haircut should have soft, rounded lines (a cascade works well), with a length just below the chin. It is not recommended to wear your hair in a ponytail.
• Small head with a flat back will look more proportional with short and medium hairstyles that have volume at the back of the head.
• For those with large heads It is not recommended to wear short, voluminous hairstyles, perm, small curls, straight or slicked strands. Instead, look for layered haircuts that are shoulder length or just below.

• Drooping (“bulldog”) cheeks emphasize ultra-short hairstyles, small curls, straight strands along the face. Disguise them with structured haircuts, such as bobs.
• If there are bald patches on the sides of the forehead, forming the so-called “widow’s peak”, you can hide them with bangs from the crown.

Choosing a haircut based on hair structure

To choose the right hairstyle, pay attention to the structure of your hair:

• For thin and sparse hair Haircuts of the same length are suitable. Because due to their density, volume can be created. For ease of installation, small graduations are possible.
• Since caring for long thick hair is not easy, you can make it a pixie or a page. But if you want a medium or long hairstyle, you can profile your hair and make a cascading haircut.
• Soft fluffy hair does not hold its shape and style well, therefore, haircuts with a strict architecture (for example, sessun) are not suitable for them. Instead, make a square or cascade.
• Add volume to straight hair You can use a ladder and a bob. Smooth and straight hair is also suitable - for example, in the form of a bob.
• Curly and curly hair They don’t look good with short hairstyles, as they make the head look like a dandelion. It is better to pay attention to graduated haircuts and long oblique bangs.

When changing your image, hairstyle plays a key role. But you can’t approach the issue of her choice irresponsibly: “I saw this hairstyle on a model, I’ll do this.” After all, hair that is given the wrong shape can disfigure the face. How then to choose a suitable hairstyle? To begin with, let us note that all faces are divided into several types. Each of them has its own characteristics, disadvantages and advantages. Our task is to hide the first and emphasize the second. Now let's start determining the shape of the face and choosing a hairstyle.

Determining your face shape to choose a haircut

There are several forms. About the features inherent in them, below:

• Oval – an oval-shaped face (the chin is slightly narrower than the forehead), pronounced cheekbones.
• Circle – the length of the face is approximately equal to the width, the chin is weakly defined.
• Oblong – an elongated face with a high forehead, long chin and “flat” cheekbones.
• Square – the height of the face is approximately equal to its width, a pronounced jaw and a flat chin.
• Heart - triangular face shape with a wide forehead and cheekbones, but a narrow chin.
• Diamond is a face shape characterized by prominent cheekbones and a forehead and jaw that are approximately equal in width.

Choosing a haircut to suit your face shape

Oval face shape

Girls with this face shape are very lucky - no haircut can spoil them. Therefore, when choosing, pay attention to other factors:

• when choosing the length, make sure that the hairstyle matches the shape of your nose and glasses, if you wear them;
• for thin hair, mid-chin length hairstyles are recommended;
• Women who have reached the age of forty should not grow their hair below their chin and cover their face with it.

Round face shape

When choosing a haircut for this face shape, we try to make it visually more elongated. This will help:

• haircuts that allow you to do high hairstyles;
• short stepped haircuts;
• hairstyles with large curls;
• bangs combed to the side;
• if your face is round, both in profile and from the front, feel free to comb your hair back.

At the same time, a list of what is contraindicated for your face:

• too thick bangs;
• too voluminous hairstyle;
• haircut too short;
• straight or intensely curled hair.

Oblong face shape

A haircut for this face should visually make it less elongated - increase the width or decrease the length. For this:

• hair should not be longer than shoulder length;
• the hairstyle should frame the face and cover the ears;
• It is necessary to have bangs; what kind they are depends on the characteristics of the face. For narrow ones - wide bangs, for too long ones - straight, up to the eyebrows.

With this type of face, you should not wear high hairstyles, comb your hair, or open your forehead - all this visually lengthens an already elongated face.

Square face shape

Square faces are often very sharp. When choosing a haircut, try to soften the lines. For this:

• try to avoid short haircuts;
• try to choose a high or asymmetrical hairstyle that suits you;
• part your hair on the side, or don’t do it at all;
• Curl your hair lightly: waviness suits you.

Avoid any straight lines in your hairstyle: straight hair, straight haircut line (especially if it is on the jawline), comb-overs that reveal straight jawlines.

Triangular face shape

A heart-shaped face is characterized by the contrast between a narrow chin and a wide forehead. Our task is to smooth it out. For this:

• the best hair length is from the beginning to the end of the neck;
• Hairstyles should be narrow at the top and widen towards the bottom. This can be achieved by curling your hair;
• A little bangs won't hurt.

Haircuts that are too short, as well as haircuts with straight lines and combed side hair, will not suit your face type: they highlight the cheekbones too much. Also, do not completely open your face.

Diamond face shape

When choosing a hairstyle for this face shape, try to widen the forehead and chin to make the face look more proportional. Many hairstyles will cope with this task, so all that remains is to give recommendations on what to avoid when choosing a hairstyle:

• bangs;
• combing hair back;
• short haircuts;
• central parting;
• hairstyles with volume on the top.

Hairstyle is an important element of the image. Many women don't know what hairstyle suits them and don't even realize how well chosen haircut can improve their appearance. Everything is important here: face shape, hair color and structure, etc.

We offer some useful tips to help you choose the right hairstyle for your face type.

First, let's determine the type of face.

Carefully study the reflection in the mirror or a photo of yourself to determine your face type.

1. Oval. Long face with wide cheekbones. The chin and forehead are approximately the same width.
2. Elongated shape. An elongated face, the width of the cheekbones, forehead and chin are approximately equal or have an almost imperceptible difference.
3. Square. A face with a fairly wide lower jaw, with clear lines, in contrast to the narrow forehead. The height of the face is approximately equal to the width.
4. Heart-shaped (or triangular) face. Quite wide cheekbones, turning into a sharply narrowed part of the chin. Pointed small chin and angular lines. Often found among Slavs.
5. Round face. Uniform width of cheekbones and chin, narrow or medium forehead, smooth round transition lines.
6. Diamond-shaped face. The face widens at the cheekbones and has narrow lines of the forehead and chin. Quite a rare type.
7. Pear-shaped face. Also applies to rare face types. Visually heavy area of ​​the cheekbones and lower jaw combined with a narrow forehead area.

Choosing a hairstyle

When choosing a hairstyle, the most important thing is to take into account flaws in proportions. The main task: visually adjust the shape of the face and head to achieve balance.

Oval

• General Tips

If your oval face has a slightly elongated shape, you should give preference to long haircuts and bangs. A good solution would be naturally falling strands with light volume at the roots in the forehead area. If the forehead is too high, it is better to choose straight or oblique bangs.

• Bang

An oval face will look good with or without bangs. The most successful would be oblique multi-layered bangs, but this can only be done with fairly thick hair of medium hardness.

• Length

This face shape is one of the most universal, so there are no special restrictions on length. Straight hair of the same length, multi-tiered haircuts (cascade style), long bob and classic bob are suitable.

Circle

• General Tips

For those with a round face, it is not advisable to have wide bangs. It is also better not to curl your hair - curls and waves will emphasize the round lines even more. Haircuts with tips near the cheekbones and cheeks (for example, a bob or a ladder) will not look very good. Avoid horizontal lines and do not make an even parting; when dyeing, it is better to use several close shades, rather than one uniform tone.

Multi-tiered haircuts and hairstyles with volume at the crown are best suited. If your hair is naturally curly, then try to grow it longer and don’t experiment with short haircuts. A high ponytail can visually lengthen your face. If your hair is thin and not very thick, choose a long hairstyle that covers your ears.

• Bang

Bangs with this face shape can only be chosen with an even hair structure. It is better to make it asymmetrical and cascading. Avoid straight or too full bangs. Use side bangs only if the main length allows you to cover your ears.

• Length

Short layered hairstyles suit chubby women best. An elongated bob without bangs, a short bob or pixie would look ideal.

Square

• General Tips

Avoid straight hairstyles, open foreheads, short and thick single-layered bangs, symmetrical chin-length hairstyles, and do not comb your hair back.

Try to soften the features of a square face with your hairstyle. To do this, it is better to choose asymmetrical haircuts and oblique bangs. Curls and curls are also suitable. Do light root volume to visually narrow your chin.

• Bang

The best look for you is oblique multi-layered bangs that end at the cheekbones.

• Length

Any hair length will suit a square face shape. If you like short haircuts, it is better to make them as voluminous and asymmetrical as possible. Fans of long hair should definitely curl it slightly. The main thing is not to allow perfect smoothness and do not use a straight parting.

Triangle and rhombus

• General Tips

Short and wide bangs, hairstyles with hair combed back (especially on the sides) and too short haircuts are absolutely not suitable for this face shape. It is not recommended to wear a slicked back ponytail or one-length hair.

The main task for owners of this type of face is to visually expand the lower part and achieve its balance with the forehead area. Triangular faces are well suited to trapezoidal haircuts, curls and bobs, especially with ends curled outwards. Hairstyles with the widest part at the level of the cheekbones or chin will also look good.

• Bang

A heart-shaped face will look great with side-swept bangs. If your forehead is too wide, it is better to wear long straight bangs.

• Length

The best choice for you is an elongated bob, as well as haircuts that reach the middle of the neck and the beginning of the shoulders. Fans of long hair should definitely use styling to give extra volume at the ends. Curls and waves look especially good with this type of face.

Rectangle

• General Tips

Avoid excessive volume in the crown area; do not wear long, smooth hair, especially with a straight parting. It is better not to choose hairstyles that reveal your face - this will only emphasize its length.

Pay attention to the bangs that cover the forehead and shorten the length of the face. Use layered cuts, curls and curls, especially if you have long hair.

• Bang

For a rectangular face type, lush oblique and straight bangs that cover the eyebrows or end just below the level of the cheekbones are best suited.

• Length

Choose a medium or moderately short length. A long bob with voluminous bangs works well. If you have long hair, it is advisable to add root volume and create curls. Retro-style hairstyles and hairstyles in which the ends are tucked inward are also suitable for you.

To choose your own hairstyle based on your face shape, you first need to choose your face type. Let's get on with it now. If you know what type of face you have, then you can immediately start choosing a hairstyle (the whole procedure is described below).

Determining the type (shape) of the face

When choosing a hairstyle, some are guided simply by their own desires, others by the advice of friends, but it is best to choose a hairstyle for yourself depending on your face shape.

In this article you will see how to choose a hairstyle based on your face shape. Thanks to the right choice of haircut, hairstyle, styling, absence or presence of bangs, you can highlight beautiful facial features and hide any flaw.

Not every woman knows exactly what shape her face is - let's try to figure it out together. Mathematics will help us do this. Arm yourself with a ruler, a sheet of paper and a pen - you will get to know your face.

So, we take measurements and write down:

Shp is the width of the chin, which is measured at an indentation level of 1 cm from the edge of the chin.
ShS is the width of the cheekbones. Look at yourself in the mirror and determine the widest line between your cheekbones and measure it.
WL is an indicator of forehead width, which is calculated by measuring the distance between the left and right temples from the place of the edge of hair growth from one side to the other.
VL - the indicator of facial height is measured in the center of the face from the edge of the chin up to the edge of hair growth.

Now let's decipher the test you passed:

You Oval face, if the indicators: ShP approaches 5.2 cm, ShS - to 13 cm, ShL - to 12.6 cm, VL - to 18.5 cm. This face shape is considered classic and is characterized by smooth lines of the chin, forehead, cheekbones and temples.

You triangular face or it is also called heart-shaped if only three measurements are used, with SH approaching 3.5 cm, SH - 13 cm, SH - 12.5 cm. This face has the widest point not in the cheekbone line, but in the area forehead.

You diamond shaped face, if you also manage to take only three measurements and, at the same time, ShP approaches 4.4 cm, ShS - to 14 cm, ShL - to 11.2 cm. This face has the widest line in the cheekbones, and to the forehead and It tapers towards the chin.

You round face, if the VL indicator exceeds the SL by less than three centimeters. If your face height is greater than your face height, then it has an elongated shape.

You square face, if the parameters are similar to those of the round one, but the lower jaw is wider.

You rectangular face, if your calculations combine the parameters of a round and elongated face. You are the owner of a pear shape if you have a round face, but the width of your forehead is slightly narrowed.

How to choose a hairstyle according to your face type (shape)

Having figured out the shape of your face, it's time to start choosing a hairstyle. This is quite easy to do, and photo materials will help you with this.

Choosing a hairstyle for a round face shape

A round face is universal for choosing hairstyles, despite a very common opinion to the contrary. There is only one caveat - you should not do any round hairstyle.

A round face will suit curly long and medium hair, layered and torn haircuts, this will make you even more attractive.

If you have straight hair, then follow the advice of letting your hair fall over your face, making it narrower and longer. You can try a layered bob or any tousled hairstyle.

Under no circumstances should you leave short, straight bangs; long bangs will suit you – they will suit straight, thin hair. If you have thick hair, try asymmetrical bangs to elongate your face.

As for color, coloring or tinting your hair will suit you: darker on the sides, and lighter strands towards the top of the head.

Absolutely not suitable for round face shape:
- round haircut to the chin line;
- short haircut with a straight parting;
- voluminous hairstyle around the ears.

Choosing a hairstyle for an oval face shape

This is the ideal face shape. If you have thick and long hair, and even curly, then you should shape it a little so that the curls are more expressive and neat. A “disheveled” short haircut will also suit curly hair.

If you have thin hair, but still want to wear long hair, go for a layered haircut. Fans of short haircuts are very lucky, since such haircuts are very suitable for oval face shapes. Experiment, try a razor cut, in the form of torn strands, or give preference to the classic “bob” with short hair in the back and long on the sides.

If you have good thick hair, then you can safely do short bangs or straight ones, but below the eyebrow line.

To focus on a beautiful oval shape, you can lighten your hair along the contour of your face.

Absolutely not suitable for oval face shape:
- large bangs (do not cover the beautiful oval of the face);
— don’t cover your face with your hair, show off your beauty. Covering your face may make it appear fuller than it actually is.

Choosing a hairstyle for a square face shape

I want to please those who have a square face shape: there are quite a lot of successful hairstyles for it. Square shapes will be hidden by a haircut with a tuft. The length requirement for haircuts remains below the jaw line along the contour of the face.

Long and straight hair will suit you as long as it is thin. For thick or curly hair, it is worth doing multi-layered haircuts. Both options soften facial features.

All hair types allow you to have eyebrow-length bangs, but there is an exception - hair that is too curly. Make long and layered bangs on the sides or graduated bangs with thinning for thick hair.

Light strands will add soft features to a square face.

Absolutely not suitable for a square face shape:
- straight long strands and straight bangs are not suitable for a square face;
- A bob that ends at the jawline is not suitable, with the exception of a layered bob.

Choosing a hairstyle for a triangular face shape

With a triangular face, it is better to choose hairstyles with volume on the jaw line. Long hair will suit you, but if it is thick, you should cut it in layers.

To smooth out facial features with a haircut, some strands should start at the level of the jaw line. And if you have long hair, then hairstyles with curls falling on your face will suit you.

A short bob is the haircut just for you. This hairstyle will be even better if your hair is curly. A triangular face will suit straight bangs, even if you have thick hair.

When choosing a hairstyle color, give preference to coloring and tinting your hair with an emphasis above the ears.

Absolutely not suitable for a triangular face shape:
— short styling with increased volume in the upper part;
- volume at the top of the head;
- smooth hair combed back;
- short or voluminous haircuts that end at the neck look hard.

Choosing a hairstyle for a long face shape

There are many hairstyles for long faces. If you have thin, long hair, it is better to choose a shorter haircut, which will create visual thickness of your hair and round your face. Smooth, straight haircuts will suit you.

You can experiment with curly hair - the haircut can be different, there are many options that suit you.

If you have a high forehead, then you can hide it with thick bangs. If you have a small forehead, then hairstyles without bangs will suit you.

Absolutely not suitable for an elongated face shape:
- you shouldn’t have too long hair - it can lengthen the shape of your face;
- A straight parting does not suit you.

Choosing a hairstyle for a rectangular face shape

A haircut and hairstyle for this face shape should soften its horizontal and vertical lines. Give preference to a hairstyle that will cover your ears and will frame your face with curls. The forehead should be slightly covered with a strand of hair, comb the bangs to the side. The hairstyle should hide the height and width of the forehead. Asymmetrical haircuts with volume at the temples look good on a rectangular face.

An asymmetrical haircut and volume in the temples are the best choice for a rectangular face

Straight and long bangs will suit you.

Absolutely not suitable for long face shapes:
- smoothly combed back hair from the temples;
- open forehead.

Choosing a hairstyle for a diamond-shaped face

Absolutely not suitable for diamond-shaped faces:
- straight parting;
- hair combed back.

Every girl wants to look great. It is important to her that everything about her appearance is perfect. What your hair is like plays a huge role: it must be well-groomed and styled. Not everyone is lucky enough to be naturally born with thick and voluminous hair, but there is always an opportunity to correct this with the help of a well-chosen hairstyle, if you know how to choose a haircut that will harmonize with your appearance.

How to choose a haircut according to your face shape?

You should not just choose a certain haircut according to your taste. The shape of the face is of great importance when choosing. Each form has certain advantages and sometimes serious disadvantages. Therefore, it is important to determine your own face shape, and then study what types of haircuts will be most successful for it.

Oval face

This face shape can be called the most ideal, and as you know, almost every haircut can be ideal. Those with an oval-shaped face may not even know stylistic nuances at all, because it will be extremely difficult for them to make a mistake with their choice. But, in any case, there are the most suitable options recommended for use.

It is important to know that when choosing a hairstyle, you should start from the hair structure. There is one serious rule: the thinner the curls, the shorter the haircut should be.

Square face

This form, of course, is far from ideal and, at times, looks too rough. But you shouldn’t be upset, because the situation will be corrected by a competent haircut, which will visually make the face proportional.

The peculiarity of this shape is the presence of wide cheekbones. Accordingly, by understanding how to choose a haircut, your face can acquire smoother and softer contours. One of the main rules to remember is that you should not opt ​​for haircuts with clear lines. The ideal haircut for this option is the famous bob. It is only important to ensure that the facial hair remains longer.

Round face

The peculiarity of this type of face is very smooth outlines and roundness. The width of the face is almost the same as its length, that is, the face itself actually has the shape of an even circle. This type is quite common, so experienced stylists know the secret of how to choose a haircut for a chubby person. The main task is to disguise existing shortcomings. And even though the round shape is not ideal in every sense, a huge number of the most diverse and stylish haircuts are still suitable for it.

Interesting and unusual symmetrical haircuts, which have long been at the very peak of fashion, look great on chubby ladies. As a rule, all young ladies with such a face do not like the presence of their cheeks, so they want to hide them. To do this, you should cut and style it in such a way that some long strands fall onto your cheeks, slightly covering them.

Hair below shoulder length helps to elongate your face, but it is important that it is voluminous, otherwise the expected positive effect will not be achieved. But it is still recommended to abandon the beloved bob haircut.

Triangular face

Such a face looks like a heart, but its owners are often unhappy with this, although there is nothing wrong with a face shape similar to a triangle. It’s just important to understand how to choose a haircut that can balance all the non-standard proportions of this shape. With a triangular face, the chin is usually narrowed, but the forehead, on the contrary, is wide. There are clear facial features, so it is important to make them softer and smoother; the shape should resemble an oval.

It may seem that the choice of haircuts for a triangular face is limited, but in fact there are no serious restrictions. A variety of multi-layered haircuts will look most successful. These will definitely be able to give the chin the fullness that is so necessary in this case.

If you really want to make curly curls, then you need to do them from the level of the chin.

Too short haircuts are unlikely to be suitable, because they reveal the chin too clearly, which means that the disproportions will become noticeable. But if you don’t like long hair at all, it is advisable to make your bangs oblique so that it reduces your forehead.

Rectangular face

This face shape is called rare, but it can still occur, which means you should know how to choose a haircut with the most impressive look. To begin with, it should be noted that due to such an unusual and clear shape, the face may look rough, so it needs to be visually softened and made as feminine as possible. The length of the face is usually almost twice the width, so the main task is to balance these proportions, at least visually. It is desirable for the hair length to be short, although medium length hair is sometimes acceptable.

Long hair can make the face look even more elongated, and this will aggravate the existing situation.

Owners of the above-mentioned shape have long hair only when it is not straight, but curly. Then the width of the face will increase slightly, the shape will become almost ideal. It is advisable to have bangs, as they will make the face a little smaller than it is and will hide the massive forehead that all owners of this face shape usually have. If you have a rectangular face, you absolutely cannot create volume on the top of your head.

How to choose a haircut according to your hair type?

It’s not just the shape of your face that is of particular importance when choosing a haircut; it’s important to know the structure of your hair. There are thin, thick or curly hair. Each type has its own ideal haircut.

Thin hair

Too thin hair, most often, creates certain problems for its owners, because everyone dreams of voluminous hair, and in this case, this voluminousness is extremely difficult to achieve.

If your hair has become thin relatively recently, then there is still an opportunity to get it in order thanks to salon procedures and care products. But most often, thin hair is a congenital feature, so it is impossible to change the structure.
