Hi, I'm Lauren and I am here to discuss picking your hairstyle. Your face shape is going to be a determining factor as to what hairstyle you can do. If you have a square face which ultimately means that the width of your face is pretty consistent throughout. You are just as wide through the eyes as you are through your jawline. You want to stick with something more or less short to medium hair. You may want to do a little bit more angling around the face in order to soften the look of the square shaped face. If you have an oval face you have basically free reign of any style you want. The oval face can get away with wearing almost any haircut. A round face you are going to want to deter from the roundness of your face shape. So, you are actually want to do styles that have more height at the crown. So, the length doesn't really matter but you will want to put some sort of layering on top. So that way the crown can actually get some height which will then even out your face. So that way it doesn't appear as to be as round. An oblong face was best with short to medium length. Since your face is a little bit longer than most and you are actually longer than you are wide. The long hair is only going to make you appear as if your face is longer. So, you are going to want to stick within your short to medium length. Your heart shaped. The best thing that works for the heart shaped face is really the chin length bob. Ultimately a heart shaped face is a little bit wider by your eyes and your temples. By your cheekbones and your jaw and then your chin comes in a little bit more. So your chin becomes a little bit more pronounced. The chin length bob actually helps fill that area in so that way your heart shaped face is to not look as heart shaped. Also, if you have a heart shaped face avoid height. You are going to want your hair to be a little bit less voluminous so that way your not making your heart shaped a little bit more pronounced. The diamond shaped face also has many options. You pretty much have free reign as well as the oval face. You can try many different styles and figure out which one will work best for you. You can also visit websites for virtual hairstylers and put your picture in and try other celebrities, colors and cuts on you. So you can choose the perfect hairstyle for you. That is how to choose your hairstyle.
