If Your Face Is Oval

You can basically have almost any cut you want, but keep in mind that very long or short styles may accentuate a long face. If your hair is straight then cut bangs to create the illusion of width. If you have natural waves or if your hair is curly, use a diffuser and a curl enhancer by Big Sexy to give shape and extra bounce to your curls.

If Your Face Is Round

You will need to choose a cut that will hangs below your chin. I'm sure that most of you think that you can't do a short style, but really you can! If you are wanting to go short you will need to choose a style that has tapered layers with wispy pieces that fall softly around the cheeks and chin. This helps to de-emphasize fullness. You can also try parting you hair on the side for something different. Try adding some height to the crown area and it will give the appearance of length to your face.

If Your Face Is Square

By choosing a cut that frames your face, you will help to counter the harshness of the chin and jawline. If your hair is long, you will want to snip layers beginning at the jawline and gradually get longer toward the end. If you want a shorter sexy look go for a choppy, pixie style, while staying away from anything that is blunt, including squared-off bobs or straight across bangs. Those two looks will definitely square you off!


If Your Face Is Heart-Shaped

You will want to choose a cut that is full on top or a longer style with layers. Your layers should start at the cheekbones and graduate down ward to the ends. The best way to wear bangs is off to one side, that are well blended.

 

 



There isn't any law that states which hair style should be wore with what shape. No matter what your face shape is, oval, round, square or heart- shaped the style that you create is yours wear it with confidence! You are your own person and you are beautiful!  -Leilani Miller
