what’s your haircut for your face shape ?

1. Oblong face

Oblong face is called Rectangular face.
Rectangular faces are long and narrow with squared jaws and squared hairlines.

This face shape is very strong and can come off as too masculine if the hairstyle does not accentuate the face properly.

Bangs look very good because they balance out the length of the face and soften the forehead.

Wispy bangs and layers are very flattering. Side bangs look great as well.

DO TRY:

  • Bangs are very flattering, especially short or medium length
  • Hairstyles that create fullness at the sides of the face
  • Wispy or side swept bangs to soften the forehead

AVOID:

  • Very long and flat hairstyles
  • Up-do’s make your face look even longer
  • Center parts bring too much attention to the top of the head

Rihanna,Maggie Q,Chloe Sevigny,Jennifer Garner,Eva Mendes,Ashley Simpson.


2. Square face

If your face is square, you have a wide jawline and a wide hairline and your face is not very tall.

Your hairstyle should aim to soften the edges of your jaw and forehead to make them look rounder.

Shorter hairstyles that accentuate the cheekbones and fall onto the face look great.

MEDIUM or LONG haircut look best. Hair worn over the forehead and long wispy curls or waves look

Side swept bangs help to even out your face shape and are very flattering.

Your cheeks are the widest part of your face so avoid hairstyles that accentuate that part of your face.
