💠 HOW-TO CHOOSE A HAIR STYLE FOR YOUR FACE SHAPE 💠

Pears, Squares, Hearts, Diamonds ? … stopppp. 

Long list right?!!  But the facts on face shapes and hair style options for your school formal are actually really easy:

OVAL Face Shape

• Ovals are considered the ideal face shape as this face shape has no defining features and everything is in proportion ?
• This shape can wear any school formal design quite well! ✅ Bobbed, layered, close or full, long or short … just about any style will suit.
• But you must take into consideration your facial features – do you want to play up your eyes or your lips?
• Try to avoid heavy fringes and face coverage ? – as you want to show off your great shape.
• If you have naturally curly hair, wavy or straight, make it part of your style.

PEAR Face Shape

• This face is a bit like a triangle ? – and has a dominant jaw line but unlike the square shape face it narrows at the temples and the cheekbones and comes to a point at the narrow forehead.
• Go for short styles and focus on a full crown at top ✅ – this creates symmetry with the wide jaw.
• The classic Shag and the layered look with off-centre parts make the pear shape face look fantastic ?
• Tuck hair behind your ear so as to not draw attention to your cheeks, and short hair should not pass the neckline while long looks should be kept tight at the nape.
• Avoid anything that will bring added volume ? – this will only add weight to your face.

HEART Face Shape

• This shape is opposite to the pear shape face ? – with a a soft pointy chin, and then widens at the hairline temples and cheekbones.
• Any style that brings fullness to your jaw line will look fabulous ✅
• Heart shape faces need a softer, curlier style and a chin length look is perfect.
• Your objective is to create width around your narrow chin.
• If you incorporate a feathery fringe, layers and a side part it will slim your forehead and take attention away from the jaw line.
• Best look for school formal: full curly / wavy bouncy ✅
• However, you must take into consideration your facial features.
• Avoid styles that have too much height at the crown and fullness around the upper part of your face ?

RECTANGLE/OBLONG Face Shape

• This shape face is narrow and long and tends to have the same width just below the cheekbones as it does at the temple – and the chin is often narrow with a high forehead ?
• Go for width and volume ✅
• You need a school formal hair style that will highlight your features as well as adding dimension and shortening the length of your face.
• Volume at the side of the face, side parted fringes and whispy layers are your best options ✅
• Keep away from long styles that will drag your features down ? – above the shoulder is best,

DIAMOND Face Shape

• This face is a cross between an oval and a heart ? – it has the narrow curved hairline and the balance of an oval shape but then widens and the cheekbones and has a more pointed chin like the heart.
• To balance a narrow chin, your best look is a rounded shape with fullness at the bottom ✅
• The classic look for diamonds is a graduated bob that falls to the chin ✅
• Styles that suit a heart shape face will do amazing things for your cheek bones ?
• Avoid adding too much height ? – as it might make your narrow forehead more elongated.

SQUARE Face Shape

• This face has a square hairline a broad forehead and a strong jaw line ?
• To soften the features, move the edges of a square shaped face by directing soft waves down over your temples and curls, and emphasise whispy layers around the edges of the face ✅
• Long hair should fall to – or past – your shoulders.
• For a short style, keep hair style round and soft with height at the crown.
• If pulled up, play with wisps of hair around the face.
• Be sure to keep away from anything too linear or too square ?

ROUND Face Shape

• This shape can be identified by its rounded chin and curved wide hair line ? – it is a fuller face with its widest point being at the cheeks and ears.
• Your goal for your school formal is to create an oval appearance that is narrower and longer by keeping the sides close to the face and promote height at the crown ✅
• As your cheekbones are the widest point avoid chin length styles.
• Look for a classic modern style ✅ – a layered Shag is the perfect shape for a round face or try a whispy or curled fringe.
• Don’t part in the middle unless you want to look like a moon face ?

So now you’ve got it. Most importantly, your facial shape is just the starting point for school formal … and you’re already beautiful.
