Now it’s time to decide on what kind of hairstyle looks best with each face shape. Here are some general rules.
Oval Face
Someone with an oval-shaped face can wear any kind of hairstyle.
The hair can be worn short, medium or long. It looks best when it
is worn off the face.
It is best to avoid wearing heavy bangs or styles that are brushed forward on the face.
Oblong Face
Someone with an oblong face look best with short or medium
length hairstyles. Soft wispy bangs will hide a high forehead.
Layered hairstyles add softness to the straight lines of the face.
Side parts are better than centre parts.
It is best to avoid wearing the hair long or with too much height at the crown, because this makes the face look longer.
Round Face
Someone with a round face should wear either short, swept back
hairstyles, or those that are longer than chin length. Layer the top
of top and keep the rest fairly close to the face, to give the style
fullness and make the face look longer and narrower.
It is best to avoid chin length hair with rounded lines around the face. This makes the face look heavier. Also avoid very short hairstyles that have straight, “chopped” bangs.
Square Face
Someone with a square face should wear the hair short to medium
length. To soften the square look of the face, try layers around the
face and wispy bangs. Giving the style height at the crown will
make the face look longer. Very straight hair should be given a
body wave to give the shape some softness.
It is best to avoid long, straight styles that accentuate the square jaw line, as do straight cuts ending at the jaw line. Also avoid straight bangs and a part in the centre..
