The Right Haircut For Your Face Shape
1. Side-Swept Bangs
Face Shape: Heart A heart-shaped face is somewhat round, but wider at the forehead with a tapered chin. With this face shape you can play up your gorgeous cheekbones by highlighting them with some chic side-swept bangs. Bangs that sit just above your cheekbones will lift the lower part of your face. You can test out side bangs by faking them into a side curls or a side braid.
2. Face-Framing Layers
Face Shape: Heart If bangs aren’t your thing, choose a haircut with some flattering face-framing layers. This will instantly give your haircut a casual, piecey look and can help to slim down a wider face while showing off your cute chin. Face-framing layers tend to work best on straighter hair, or hair that has had a straightening treatment.
3. Blunt Bangs
Face Shape: Round Blunt bangs are sassy and give a really cool retro vibe to your haircut. With a round face, blunt bangs will downplay some of the fullness, whereas having curved bangs or side bangs can make your face look rounder. If this is your first time getting bangs, be sure to ask your hairstylist how to properly blow-dry them for your hair type.
4. Side Part And Loose Waves
Face Shape: Round To show off your gorgeous round face, choose a side part and style your hair with lots of voluminous waves. A side part is flattering on round faces because it helps to add a little bit of angle into your features. Loose waves work well because they help to distribute volume. To get volume that lasts all day, be sure to set your style with some of the Dove Style+Care Strength And Shine Flexible Hold Hairspray.
5. Deep Side Part
Face Shape: Square A deep side part on a square shaped face can help to soften the angles of your face. When you go for a deep side part, some of your hair will frame your forehead and give a similar effect to getting side bangs. This look is gentle and works great on all hair types.
6. Long Beach Waves
Face Shape: Square Long loose waves helps to add roundness to a square shaped face. With long hair you have a lot to work with, so you can try lots of different styles for square shaped faces. To achieve this beachy texture, apply some of the TRESemmé Perfectly (Un)Done Sea Salt Spray while your hair is damp and use your fingers to scrunch your hair into natural waves as your hair air dries.
7. Chin Length Bob
Face Shape: Oval So real talk, if you have an oval face shape you can choose just about any haircut. Very few haircuts will compete with an oval shaped face. To enhance the oval shape, choose a sleek chin length bob. A center part will have your hair and face symmetry matched up perfectly. To make sure your bob is extra sleek, use a frizz fighting finishing spray like the Nexxus New York Salon Care Frizz Defy Finishing Mist.
8. Side-Swept Pixie
Face Shape: Oval Oval shaped faces can easily handle the dramatic look of a side-swept pixie. Having the longer section in front frames your face nicely and adds interest to a short crop. When getting a side-swept cut, make sure the longest section sits just above your cheekbones to make your oval face shape shine. Need more haircut inspiration?
