You wonder what hairdo is best for you and want to know how important your face shape is when you try a new hairdo. There are some useful advice I’d like to take your attention to.

To choose the right hairdo you should first consider your face shape and your makeup of course. To find out what type of face shape you’ve got you’ll need some pictures and descriptions. The face of a right shape is usually called oval. You can meet people with a perfect oval face quite seldom. However this face shape is fine for any hairdo thus it is usually taken as a basic one.

All the methods of hairdressers, style masters and visagistes are directed to the creation of the right proportional oval shape. To gain it they try the hairdos which correct some disadvantages and make all the advantages visible. There are 4 basic types of face and derivatives. The basic ones are oval, circle, triangular and square. So let’s talk about them.

The first one is oval. The oval face type owners can look to hairdos of any kinds but some individual features as character, lifestyle, hair color, skin color and hair type should be taken into consideration.

Second is Round Face Type
The face height from the hair roots to the chin is not bigger than the width along the upper part of the cheek-bones, the face shape is smooth without any prominent parts. To get an oval form you should visually make the face height longer from the hair roots to the chin. The appropriate effect can be reached if the upper part of the hairdo is voluminous but the sides are almost without volume. Partings at one side also make your face visually longer. Sparse bangs and disheveled crew-cut are also perfect here. Middle parting, smoothly combed hair and thick long bangs are not recommended because all of them shorten your face. You’d better avoid hairdos with sharp lines if you have a round face and choose something smoother.

Next it goes Square Face
Proportions are just same as for a round face but the shape is different. Square face is more geometrical, cheek-bones come forth, the lower jaw looks massive. Dissymmetric hairdos with a parting at a side are perfect for this kind of face. You can choose any parting direction and hair length. However your hair should be either short or long but not up to cheek-bones, it’s disadvantageous for this face type cause it emphasizes the face shape.

Graduated hairdos, hair waves at sides hiding the cheek-bones a little bit look wonderfully for this type of face. Bangs are better to comb to one side. If you prefer straight bangs covering forehead you’d better wear sparse bangs thoroughly thinned out. Any hairdos of a geometrical form are perfect for this face type. But you have to hide your ears, make your crown higher and stop thinking about voluminous locks around your cheek-bones and smooth hairdos.

And the last type we are talking about is Triangular Face
This is a kind of face with a large forehead and cheek-bones combined with a small, acute chin. If you want to show all the advantages of this face type and make it a little bit more oval you are recommended hairdos with a small volume in the upper part. Best of all for the triangular faces are hairdos of a middle length, chin length mostly. Straight hair, geometrical shape, thick short bangs look cool with this face type. You’d better not choose hairdos that make the upper part of your face wider or open your forehead or comb your hair back.

These are main characteristics of face types. Though you should remember there are much more mixed types thus you should choose a hairdo basing on some definite details.

Now you’ve got some general advice that will help you choose the right hairdo to emphasize advantages and hide disadvantages of your face. The thing is your hairdo should go with your lifestyle and don’t forget about color when you work on your image, it takes a big role.

Make a right choice and look wonderful!
