subject: Understanding The Relation Between Face Shape And Hairstyle [print this page] One should know about ones face shape and hairstyle that matches perfectly with ones face type. But in reality it is just opposite. Women visit salons and get the haircut suggested by their hairdressers. It is right that a hairstylist is the right person to ask about which haircut one should wear but one shouldnt rely totally on hairdresser for choosing haircut.
There are almost seven types of faces and they are oval, round, oblong, heart, square, triangular and diamond. Each type has its own specialties and each type has some haircuts. But oval is the type that can wear any haircut from short to long and curls to bangs. It is easy to determine your face shape. Learn some ways to know your face type.
Stand before a full-size mirror and look at the features of your face. Mark the length and breadth of the face on the image in the mirror and then come to a conclusion regarding your face type.
Another way to know which type of face you have is to cover your face with a piece of cloth and then ask your cousin or friend to determine the shape of your face.
Taking close-up picture of your face from different angles would also help you determine the face type. There are many ways and you could try every way to come to the right conclusion.
Face shape and hairstyle are closely related to each other. The haircut you wear should perfectly match with your face type. For instance take a round face woman, who wears bangs covering her cheeks. This haircut would make the woman look chubby, short and obese. Bangs around heavy cheeks would add breadth to the face. The problem with round face is that it makes the neck look short.
Oval is a perfect face but it doesnt mean that other shapes are not good. A face whether oval or round would look beautiful, if it is complimented with right haircut. Oval face women should avoid wearing layered haircut as it would make their face look long and narrow.
Understanding the relation between face shape and hairstyle seems difficult but in reality it is quite easy. You only need to determine your face shape and take care of the features on your face. For instance take a round face woman with double chin. She should wear short haircut like bob.
Fashion conscious women need to understand the relation between face shape and hairstyle, if they are really serious about improving their look.
