subject: Flatter Your Face Shape With The Right Haircut [print this page] Women can be very vain about their hairWomen can be very vain about their hair. And these days men are even getting more so. The right haircut can do wonders for your face. You can make yourself look younger, older, thinner, rounder, fresher, edgier, and many, many, more. But before you can find out what hairstyle would look right on you, you also need to figure what your real face shape is. Every face is different, true, but all faces will lean towards a particular shape. And the particular shape of your face needs to a haircut that will compliment it in the right way. Your stylist should also be able to recommend the right haircut Canberra for your face shape and the texture of your hair.
There are five different face shapes: Oval, round, square, long, and heart-shaped. An oval-shaped face is considered the most ideal. It's versatile, and is flattered by almost any hairstyle. So men and women with an oval face can wear just about any kind of hairstyle and look great in it too. It would also be interesting to note, that with the other face shapes, the goal is essentially to make the face look as oval as possible by downplaying prominent features and highlighting your best ones.
Round faces are basically more circular than the oval. What you want to do is to downplay the fullness in your cheeks, so a chin-length bob wouldn't look good on you especially if the ends of your hair curl right under your chin will accentuate the roundness of your face. Same goes for pixie cuts. Haircuts that are too short will accentuate the roundness of your face, so it's best to stick with cuts longer than your chin with layers that will make your face look leaner.
Square faces need a cut that will soften the angles of their face. Curls can do this beautifully. You want a cut that is soft and layered rather than blunt. Geometric shapes and harsh edges will only add to the angles of your face rather than hide it. Again, bangs are an option that can help soften square faces.
Long faces, on the other hand, should have cuts that downplay the length of the face. Bangs are a good option that can help make long faces appear shorter. Chin-length cuts also do a great job of helping you get the same effect. For men, a cut that is shorter on top with longer sides. Men can also choose to add a lock or so that falls over their foreheads to shorten the face.
Last, is the heart shape. For these face shapes, you'll need a haircut that hides your hairline and downplays your forehead. You can wear your hair in a bob that flips out at the ends, which helps even out the proportions of your face.
