How many times have you shown the picture of a celebrity to the hair stylist and asked him to give you the exact hair cut? Well, let me guess and the answer is always. Every time you go for a hair cut, either you have a cutout from one of those fashion magazines or screenshot of a celebrity in your mobile. And now you would be thinking: why not? If Rihanna and Gigi Hadid can rock those bangs, why not me? Yes, you can definitely rock those bangs, condition applied if you have the face cut that would complement the bangs.
Agreed, all the celebrities have a team of hair stylists that keep their mane perfect, but it isn’t enough. If the hair cut doesn’t suit your face shape, even the hair stylists of the best salon in London can’t do anything. And that is why we are here to help you out. In this post, we are going to discuss the various face shapes and the haircuts that complement them. Moreover, we are also going to discuss certain do’s and don’ts pertaining to them.
OVAL FACES
A face is considered to be oval shaped when the length of the face is longer as compared to the width and the jaw line is round in a gentle manner. There are no prominent points of an oval face. Some of the celebrities that have oval face are Bella Hadid, Jessica Alba and Rihana.
Do’s: If you have an oval face and want something bold as your hair cut, then go for a pixie cut. With this kind of face cut, you can easily rock bangs, a middle part or can layer the hairs as well. Some of the best hairstyles for this face cut includes the one that keeps the hair away from the face so that your features are exposed. You can also go for side swept bangs and slicked-back looks.
Don’ts: Don’t go for heavy bangs as they make your face appear shorter. Moreover, avoid going for one length haircut as it would make your face appear. Wearing your hair down? Then, show your cheekbones and the beautiful facial features by tucking the hair of one side or both sides behind the ears.
HEART SHAPED FACES
A heart shaped face is wider at the temples and hairline and tapers towards the narrow chin which is slightly pointed. In most of the cases, people having a heart face shape either have a prominent forehead or cheekbones. Some of the celebrities who are blessed with heart shaped face are Mimi Ikonn, Reese Witherspoon and Tyra Banks.
Do’s: When picking up a hairstyle for heart shape face, you can either bring the focus towards the shape of your face or make the lower half look wider. To bring the heart shape of your face into notice, wear your hair in a high top knot or space buns. You can also go for a side part along with loose curl. In case if you want to create the illusion of a wider jaw line, then go for shoulder length hair.
Don’ts: Avoid a middle part as you may have a widow’s peak if you have a true heart shape face. Part your hair to a bit off the side so that they fall off in their natural way. This would also hide the widow’s peak. You would like to avoid short bangs as they would make your chin appear super narrow.
SQUARE FACES
The people with square shaped faces have a wide forehead, cheekbones and jawline that are almost same in the length. The prominent feature of square shaped faces is the strong jawline. Some of the celebrities who are blessed with square shaped faces are Olivia Wilde and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Do’s: When you choose a hairstyle for such kind of face, you have the choice to either accentuate the face cut or soften down the strong jaw line. With the help of a short bob or blunt bangs, you can bring focus to the square-ness of your face. And if you want to soften down the jaw line, ask your stylist to give you wispy bangs that would fall to the side with diagonal lines. You can also enhance the length of the face by wearing down the hair with some layers.
Don’ts: Blunt hairstyles and solid bangs are not for square shape face, so avoid them at all costs. If you want to soften your face, then avoid the slicked back look. Avoid curls and opt waves.
Other than these, there are many other hairstyles that can accentuate your facial features. Book your appointment with one of the best hair salons in London and they would give you the perfect hair cut according to your face shape.
