Heart-shaped Faces
An appropriate hairstyle can balance length or width, add fullness or height, and showcase your client’s best features. To help select an ideal cut, start by determining their face shape.
Heart-shaped faces (think Tyra Banks, Kourtney Kardashian, and Reese Witherspoon) can be distinguished by broad foreheads and prominent cheekbones. For this hairstyle, a long-layer style with a side-swept fringe can soften the jawline and further soften jawlines.
Oval Faces
If you have an oval face shape, select a hairstyle that brings out its best features – cheekbones and jawline. A blunt bob can perfectly frame your features, or try something bolder like shaggy mid-length cuts with curtain bangs for an innovative approach that works well on most hair textures.
Those with longer necks can create an eye-catching style by playing with layers for a striking, eye-catching look that highlights their features. Zooey Deschanel famously showcases this with her tiered layers tied in tiered styles; her thick fringe adds definition and draws the eyes toward them. Try a similar look with a deep side part to emphasize your cheekbones!
Round Faces
Finding an aesthetically pleasing hairstyle for round faces requires finding one with styles that visually narrow their width. For instance, textured lob cuts or deep side parts with layers will make your face appear longer and narrower.
A pixie cut with volume at the top or side-swept bangs is an excellent way to emphasize chiseled cheekbones. Or try creating a blunt cut with choppy layers for extra definition in your face.
Kathryn Bernardo of Katy Perry fame is known for creating an eye-catching look with her side-swept bangs that draw compliments from all. Kathryn Bernardo ensures everyone sees how attractive and feminine this look can be with this look that is sure to turn heads!
Square Faces
A square face shape features a narrower forehead with a wide jawline. Try rocking either a side-swept or center-parted hairstyle featuring long layers to soften these angles.
Long layered shag with curtain bangs makes an ideal combination for square-face shapes. The full fringe frames the face, while long layers skim the cheek-to-neck area, creating an elongated appearance. Copperish red hues such as copper will enhance this style perfectly!
Women with square faces can benefit significantly from getting a blunt cut with blonde balayage ombre, as it hides the corners of their faces while making them appear thinner and more feminine.
Diamond Faces
Women with diamond face shapes typically possess narrow foreheads and jawlines that widen at the chin, creating an oval face shape. Women should avoid short strands that shorten and emphasize their narrow jawline and narrow chin; long layers and soft fringes can balance their jawline and cheekbones.
Chin-length bobs with side-swept bangs are ideal for this facial structure. Their length helps conceal high and low foreheads while their sweeping front strands flatter and frame your features.
An ideal style for diamond faces is a textured crop, easily styled on the go using just a hair tie and some texture spray. This look instantly draws the eye toward your stunning cheekbones, emphasizing the chin area and jawline.
Heart Faces
Heart-shaped faces feature broad foreheads and cheekbones with a narrow jawline and chin features. To enhance this face structure, the ideal hairstyle should balance out its widest point while slimming down the forehead, softening the jawline, and emphasizing those incredible cheekbones.
A choppy bob is the perfect way to frame and highlight your facial structure, drawing attention to your lovely eyes and cheekbones. Add volume with L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Boost It Elastic Mousse for added hold and volume.
Bangs are an effortless addition to heart-shaped faces, as they effectively minimize forehead space while drawing attention to the eyes and the jawline. For an alternate approach, try opting for long, piecey bangs.
Rectangular Faces
Rectangular faces feature broad foreheads and cheekbones but narrow jawlines and chins. Your goal should be to soften these angular features for more balance; adopting soft layers, side-swept bangs, or volume on top can help elongate your facial structure and provide more credit.
Tyra’s asymmetric bob is ideal for rectangular face shapes; its slanted edges elongate the face, while its subtle inward curling fringe softens off any sharp jawlines. Coat your locks with a hair serum to minimize heat-induced damage before straightening layers before setting your look with a light-hold hairspray.
