Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• hairstylist
• your face shape

1. If you are an oval face gal, you are in luck. Oval face shapes are considered the most balanced shape and all kinds of women hairstyles (short, medium length or long) will flatter your face. Don’t hide your face behind lots of hair; let the world see your perfectly balanced face.

2. If you are a round face gal, you goal is to elongate your face. Any hairstyle that adds width to your face should be avoided. You should have hairstyles that add height on the top and the rest of the hair should stay close to your face. If you have a round face and like short hairstyles, you need to be careful which one you pick out because most short hairstyles need to add width to your face. Lots of women have round faces, a good thing about a round face is that it will make you appear younger. Women hairstyles that flatters round face are mostly long hairstyles or short hair styles that add height.

3. Avoid very short women hairstyles because it will expose your round face. If you decided on the bob hairstyle that is so popular right now, discuss with your hairstylist to modify it to suit your face shape.

4. If you are a square face gal, you should try to round off the edges to make your face softer and more feminine. Try long hairstyles that hide the edges and round off your chin. Avoid straight long hair because it will accentuate your square jaw line.

5. If you are a heart face gal, you should try to add fullness to the bottom of your face to give it a fuller look. The bob hairstyle is very flattering on your face. Try to avoid hairstyles that add height on the crown because it will make you look too heavy.

6. Talk to your hairstylist and ask him/her the hairstyles that flatter your face. Do not follow trends blindly; what looks good on other people might look terrible on you.

7. Women are lucky because women are able to wear their hair in many different ways where men are mostly limited to short hair. Even when your favorite hairstyles does not flatter your face, your hairstylist can modify it slightly to fit you.
