Hairstyles are one of the defining characteristics that define our physical appearance, making the selection of an appropriate haircut a crucial decision that requires thoughtful consideration of various factors.
Round Face
Celebrities like Aishwarya Rai and Alia Bhatt always appear fashionable with round faces. For an adorable style that slims your features, try opting for a defined pixie cut with long side-swept bangs that fall over your cheekbones and texture spray or mousse for added height on top. If you have a longer face, try amplifying your bob with cascading layers to add height and soften the curves of the chin and jawline. This unique but trendy haircut works exceptionally well when worn with straight hair. Lucy Hale is an absolute beauty queen, and her delightful pixie style with side-swept bangs helps slim down her face appearance by covering its width with side-swept bangs that frame it perfectly. This hairstyle works well with curly or wavy locks alike for round facial structures.
Square Face
For square face shapes, the best haircut for you is a layered shoulder-length bob haircut. This style will add volume to your crown while softening your strong jawline. A deep side part works beautifully here; adding waves is optional to give an added feminine touch. To complete the style, use L’Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Light Hairspray Unscented to secure those gorgeous waves! If you want to add an edge to your style, blunt bangs may be just what the doctor ordered. They soften your facial features and help ease those hard corners of your face, or try wispy push-aside bangs for additional curves in your look.
Heart Shape
Hairstyles don’t fit one size fits all, and what might work well on someone else may make you look awful. Perhaps you saw someone sporting an impressive new style, but when you tried it yourself, it turned into something far less appealing; one person might look fabulous while it makes another appear as though they have two heads.
Heart-shaped faces benefit from having wavy hairstyles with lengths beyond shoulder-length to balance out their features and add length, mainly if they feature waves that extend slightly past shoulder length. Styles that add height should be avoided as this could create widow’s peaks on your forehead; bangs should also not come too close to touching eyebrows (otherwise, you risk looking like Reese Witherspoon or Tyra Banks!). If your facial features are heart-shaped, adding some color to your hair may help balance facial features and distribute weight more evenly. Dallas stylist Sydney Ann Lopez suggests painting the top section in darker hues to narrow its width while keeping its heart-shaped portion lighter in tone.
Diamond Shape
A perfect haircut only exists as an all-in-one solution. Even though a specific hairstyle looks great on an A-list celebrity, it might not necessarily flatter your facial structure; this is especially true if you have an oval or heart-shaped face shape.
Diamond-shaped faces feature wide cheekbones and narrow foreheads and jawlines, so people with this face shape should choose hairstyles that accentuate both features at once – for women, this means medium to long layered wavy locks. International celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham both boast diamond faces. Bollywood divas Malaika Arora and Shilpa Shetty look amazing with similar styles, while deep side parts can help complete this look.
Narrow Face
Have you ever admired a celebrity with a hairstyle, become interested in it, and realize it wouldn’t suit your face shape? Unfortunately, this happens all too frequently.
No longer is that necessary, with apps to help determine which haircuts best complement your face shape. Before running out and buying that cute new style, make sure you find a haircut explicitly tailored to your face shape that complements and frames your features. If in doubt, speak to an expert at your local salon or barber.
