How to choose the best hairstyle for your face shape

Writer: Jim ShawJim Shaw

When it comes to choosing a hairstyle, knowing what works for your face shape will help to have you looking your best. Heres my top tips when it comes to choosing.

 

 

Round- round faces often lack definition, adding sharpness and dimension with the hair will help elevate your look. Opting for haircuts with more length on the top will help elongate your face and help add some volume. Quiffs are a great option, as well as a side parting with the hair parted to one side of the head it instantly adds length to the face.

 

 

Diamond- diamond faces are a little wider at the sides and narrower at the chin, therefore, adding some roundness will make the face appear a lot more oval. With this face shape, you want to add a little bit of height but not too much. The textured crop is a great style for this face shape. Adding texture on the top gives much more dimension to the hair, therefore looking fuller without elongating the face.

 

 

Heart- people with heart shaped faces, often have a natural widows peak. Therefore, slicking the hair back will only accentuate this more. Keep the hair light and airy will embrace texture and work best for this shape. With the cheeks being wider, keeping it shorter at the sides will help keep the face looking narrow with more height on the top. I also advise sporting a light stubble with this face shape, nothing too wild that will emphasise the chin.

 

 

Oblong- oblong faces often have stronger jawlines than others, making their faces extremely symmetrical. A buzz cut is great for anyone with an oblong face, little length on the top and softness helps create a more rounded look to the face. Having equal length on both the sides and the tops helps balance this out well. Goatee beards work amazingly for this face shape, as a full beard will only widen out the jaw.

 

 

Triangle- as this face shape is extremely sharp, using the hair to soften the features works well. Longer hair looks amazing, as well as, adding a fringe to as the help to de-emphasise the chin and jaw. Clean shaven works best for this look to show off the angular features.
