3 Top hairstyles For Each Of The 9 Face Shapes

    

  

 

1. Oval Face Shape

With a wider forehead and a comparatively smaller chin, you must opt for hairstyles that flaunt such beautiful features. Moreover, oval shaped faces often have high cheekbones, which everyone would envy, and rightfully so. So the hairstyles that would perfectly suit you are:-

 

- Long Layers

When you opt for long layers, you must ensure that the layers are soft and tender enough to simply caress the sides of your face, and frame it rather than covering it. With such enviable features, you must look for ways to enhance the balanced structure of an oval face.

 

- Bob With Side Swept Bangs

With a lovely little chin that can be considered one of the best parts of an oval-shaped face, you cannot shy away from flaunting it. The best way to draw more attention towards it is through a Bob cut that falls right at the jawline. You can also add a side swept bang, if you wish to cover up your slightly wider forehead.

 

- Wavy Lob

A long wavy bob is supposed to add some movement, dimensions, and volume to the hair. With such edgy styles, you can attract attention towards your flawless and prominent cheekbones and the overall symmetry of your oval shaped face.

  

2. Round Face Shape

Are you saddened by the fact that you have no edges or sharp curves? Well, you no longer have to. With your fuller cheeks, symmetrical structure and rounded jawline, you can still rock hairstyles that add flattering angles and length.

 

Long Straight Hair

A simple suggestion, for all the fashion girls out there, would be to keep long straight hair, if they have a round face. This is because it also makes the face look elongated and can effectively and almost instantly reduce the roundness of the face.

 

Side Part and Symphony of waves

Round shaped faces have equal width and length, which almost gives a perfect structure to the face. When you add a side part, you bring in an amusing angle that gives your look a twist. Ditch that mid-part and go for a side-part for a mesmerizing effect. ask your hairdresser to create a wavy look that will surely accentuate the tenderness of your face.

 

Voluminous Top Knot

We strongly recommend a voluminous top knot for all round shaped faces. When you tightly tie your hair at the top, it also uplifts your face and adds extra length to it. At the same time, it also adds height, and gives an effortlessly bold look.

3. Square-shaped faces

Those with square shaped faces are blessed with a strong jawline. However, choosing a hairstyle that accentuates their features and at the same time hiding their insecurities, can be a tricky affair. For example, while some loved their broad forehead and cheekbones, some are insecure about it. Keeping all this in mind, we have suggested a few safe options.

 

Soft Curls

Square Face Shape can often appear a bit rigid due to their sharp features. You can eliminate this facade by simply adding soft curls that bring a bit of volume to your hair and make the angular features look pleasing.

 

 Natural Swirly Curly Hairstyles

If you're a fan of the swirly curls, you need not restrict yourself. Opt for any kind of curls you want, as they can distract the beholder from your strong and angled features. However, we do recommend keeping your hair length medium and a fringe for an edgy, bold yet fun  look.

 

Side Swept Bangs with Wavy Hair

Those who are looking for an easy-to-style hairdo but at the same time want it to be chic and vivacious,  can simply get it through a side-part. The bangs are enough to attract all eyes and overshadow all your insecurities. We highly recommend adding waves which would further soften your features. Lastly, go for medium-length hair, for a more visually synchronized look. 

   

  

4. Rectangle Face Shape

Even though all the features are in proportion in a rectangular face with the width of the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline similar, some feel its devoid of angles and curves that are the best features of any face shape. All such factors do make this face shape difficult to style and choose a hairstyle for. However, we have sorted out a few of the best out of the lot for you.

 

Soft Waves

If you have a rectangular face, you already have edges and sharpness of features. All you need now is some tenderness which can be added by soft Waves. It makes the hair appear thicker and even adds a certain balance to the face.

 

Chin-Length Bob

One of the best parts of rectangular face shapes are their beautiful cheekbones. If you want to make it even more prominent and alluring, you can opt for a Chin-Length Bob. Moreover, this particular hairstyle makes the face appear shorter. And of course, a Chin-Length Bob can never look dull.

 

Curtain Bangs

Women looking for the best fringe styles, should undoubtedly settle for curtain Bangs. You get grace, sophistication and style added with ease of styling, all with this simple hairstyle. Moreover, it's the best cover-up for your wide forehead.

  

  

5. Diamond Face Shape

Women with diamond face shapes, look undoubtedly ethereal. Their features are enough to make anyone look twice at them. Given the exciting features of diamond shapes, we cannot assign any random hairstyle to them as they need something specifically stylish that accentuates every tiny detail of their features.

 

Face Framing Layers

With such charming features, you would never want to hide them away under your layers. So, opting for face-framing layers rather form an outline of your structure whole making the tiny forehead and chin even more appealing to the eyes. You can also add bangs or fringes, if you wish to bring in more style elements.

 

Layered Shoulder Length Hair

When you have tiny chin, you need some volume around that area to give your face, symmetry. With layers around the shoulder, you can easily achieve it. Also, those who have thin hair, can choose layers to drift the focus away from the thinness of the hair, while accentuating each feature that makes diamond shaped faces breathtakingly beautiful. We think you all will agree as well.

 

 Slicked Back Chin-Length Bob

Today's women do not want to settle for the basics of the mundane. They want something extraordinary, while they deal with the ordinary things in life. For women seeking fun and excitement, we suggest a slicked back Chin-Length Bob. It not only makes the chin area look fuller but also brings angularity to the face.

   

  

6. Heart Face Shape

You can also refer to this shape as an inverted triangle, as many often do. This is because of the facial structure, in which the forehead is wide while the chin is narrow. The high cheekbones are the highlights of such faces.

 

Side-Parted Lob

The narrow chin, although a boon for some, might look unflattering to others. No matter what team you belong to, if you have a heart shaped face, we strongly suggest you a side-parted Lob. The hairstyle falls right at the chin, which adds a proper structure to the face and equates the width of the chin area to that of the forehead.

 

Long Waves

Wavy hair is fun for everyone, isn't it? All can select it and even look their best in it. However, we have chosen it in our top three of all hairstyles because the volume at the end brought about by waves, also adds a lot of volume to the lower face or chin area.

 

Pixie Cut with Side Bangs

Women with wide foreheads, often seek new and innovative ways of hiding it. Moreover, women with diamond faces are looking for styles that suit their tiny chin as well. With a Pixie cut, they can flaunt all of their natural characteristics and structure such as the cheekbones. When they throw bangs into the mix, it creates a softening effect on the forehead, which many find alluring and creative.

   

  

7. Triangle Face Shape

Women with a triangle shaped face are truly blessed, you know how? Well, with a narrow forehead they do not have to worry about hiding it with hair. At the same time, the wide jawline can be quite alluring for its sharpness and prominence.

 

Blow Dried Waves

If you have sharp features, like most women with triangle faces have, you can opt for a blow dried waves hairstyle. It helps add softness, grace and a little bounce which complements your face cut. We suggest a side part with this particular style.

 

Side Pony with Long Bangs

With such strong features, you can opt for a simple yet chic side pony that is stylish and comfortable. We recommend adding thick bangs swept to one side with a side part, which will further accentuate your strong jawline, creating a sexy and seductive aura with hints of cuteness.

Curly Shag

Sleek Ponytail

Well, oblong faces are longer than they are wider. Thus, they need to add more width and the sleek Ponytail is the perfect option. It helps you flaunt your best features while showing enough of your ears to increase the width of your face. You can even leave a few strands out at the front, for a more mystical vibe.

 

French Bob

Long Soft Bangs
