The hair is often referred to as a person's crowning glory. A flattering style and cut could enhance your features and personality, while a style that is not right for your face and hair type could be your worst nightmare.
Experts say that for a hairstyle to be flattering for a person, there are certain factors to consider. First would be the shape of the face.
Happynews.com share a certain technique in obtaining the shape of your face. Look into the mirror, and get something you could write with, but that which could easily be erased. A soap bar would do, or even a lipstick. Trace the shape of your face on the mirror. This would give you an idea of the kind of hairstyle that would fit your face's shape.
An oval face is described as a shape that is slightly narrower at the jaw line than at the temples. The face has a gently rounded hairline. If you have an oval face, you are lucky because you would be able to carry most hairstyles. You can actually experiment with different styles from time to time, because you do not need to worry about your facial symmetry. You can go long or short. Just be sure not to wear a style that covers up your features, such as putting very heavy bangs in front.
A rectangular face is long and slender, and may have a narrow chin and a very high forehead. Short to medium cuts would enhance this face shape. Soft wispy bangs would shorten the appearance of the length of the face, while fullness at the side of the face would add width to the face. Keep the hair at shoulder length. Too much length and too much height would emphasize the length of the face.
A round face is full-looking with a round chin and hairline. A cut that has fullness and height at the crown would suit this. To diminish the roundness of the face, wear a side part. Grow your hair below the chin to create length. A cut that is until the chin would emphasize the shape of your face. Avoid any circular style such as tapering around the face or bangs that are rounded. Avoid center parts.
