Choose A Hairstyle to Fit Your Face Shape

Choosing the right hairstyle to fit your face shape is an important step in developing your look. If you have the wrong hairstyle for your face shape then you could be making yourself less attractive than you truly are.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine your face shape. Look in the mirror and determine your overall face shape to make the right choice in your hair style. The most common shapes are heart shaped, oval, rounded and rectangular.

  2. Step 2

    Choose the hair style for your face shape. Practically any hair style goes well with a rounded face. If you have a rectangular face, try a hair style that is short to medium length to compliment your rectangular face. Heart shaped faces are similar to oval faces. You can wear almost any hair style with a heart shaped face. For a round face, try parting your hair at an angle to compliment the overall shape of your face.

  3. Step 3

    Highlight the best features of your face. If you don't like the shape of your forehead then try having your bangs cover them up. If you really like your cheek bones then choose a hair style that does not cover them up and will draw attention to them.

  4. Step 4

    Consult with your hair stylist if you cannot determine your face shape. Most hair stylists know the basics of face shapes and what hair styles to choose with them. Try to change up your hair style and ask others for their opinion. Once you find a hair style you like try to do subtle changes to keep your style looking new.
