How to choose one everyday hairstyle, which you won’t have to regret, is what our article will tell you.

We are in website collected typical mistakes in choosing a hairstyle and looked at them using examples from stars. The most important advice, which all stylists unanimously repeat: do not forget about. Form is everything. At the end of the article you will find general recommendations on what other appearance features you should definitely consider before going to the hairdresser.

Round face

A parting and sleek, pulled-back hair not only highlight Miranda Kerr's wide face, but also make her look older. But the elongated layered bob makes her charming.

What is not suitable:“Hairstyles with full volume on the sides, sleek hairstyles with hair pulled back and straight line cutting near the chin or above is a big mistake for round face", explains senior stylist at Redken salon Daniela Schulte. A straight parting and heavy thick bangs are also not suitable. These hairstyles will only emphasize the large width of your face.

The goal is to visually lengthen the face. Straight strands near the face, textured torn bangs, waves and multi-layered haircuts can do this perfectly. middle length or long. "By layering, you're ultimately influencing the shape of your face—round faces should opt for square layers," says Sam Burnett, creative director at Hare & Bone. Brave, round-faced beauties can take a chance and try a short pixie cut like Ginnifer Goodwin's. You can see examples of successful styling and other tricks for a round face.

Square face

A chin-length bob draws attention to Olivia Wilde's wide, square jaw. Framed long hair the face looks softer and prettier.

What is not suitable: Overly graphic, symmetrical lines in the hairstyle will only emphasize the angularity of this face. A chin-length bob with straight thick bangs is prohibited, since such a hairstyle will only emphasize a wide lower jaw. You should also be careful with short haircuts - in this case they will give your face a masculine appearance. “Girls with a square face shape should avoid hairstyles where the hair is pulled back, such as a slick back ponytail. This accentuates angular features and makes them look harder,” says Karen Thomson, stylist and salon owner.

What to take into account:"Long hair is especially good for square face Whether straight and sleek, curls or messy waves, they will draw attention away from the angular edges of the face. If you want bangs, it's better to choose long bangs on the side rather than straight bangs, which make your face appear wider,” advises Karen Thompson. “One of my favorite haircuts for this face shape is a long bob with side bangs. Light, light highlights on the strands near the face also soften the corners very well,” says Daniela Schulte. You can see options for hairstyles that are ideal for square-shaped faces.

Triangular and heart-shaped face

The absence of bangs emphasizes the large forehead, and the bob with tips inward sharpens Christina Ricci's narrow chin even more. But the thick arched bangs make her look shine.

What is not suitable: These are two types of faces, distinguished by a wide forehead and a narrow chin. A heart-shaped face is distinguished from a triangular face by a heart-shaped hairline. The recommendations for these two types are similar. It is necessary to avoid large volume of hair in the upper part of the head and create volume in the lower part. "Heavy short bangs will make the top of the head even wider. A haircut with the ends of the hair at chin level, tucked inward rather than outward, is also not the best solution, it will only emphasize a sharp chin,” says Daniela Schult. A parting will also increase the disproportion of the face.

What to take into account:“Long, arched bangs look great on you. The central part should be as long as the bridge of the nose, and the side strands can reach the top of the cheekbones,” notes Daniela Schulte. "Curls and waves below the chin are great for this face type," says celebrity stylist Marco Pelusi. If you want it shorter, you can follow the advice of ISHOKA Hair and Beauty creative director Philip Bell and decide on a short smooth bob with long side bangs and a side parting. You can see examples of such haircuts.

Diamond face

The large volume on the crown makes Ciara's head disproportionate, and her face appears too small due to the overhanging long bangs. Light volumetric styling looks much better and opens up the face.

What is not suitable: The diamond-shaped face shape (also called diamond) is close to oval, which is considered ideal. But a diamond-shaped face has a narrower forehead and chin and more prominent cheekbones than an oval face. According to Marco Pelusi, you should avoid haircuts with short locks ending at the level of the cheeks, as they will only enhance the sharp angles of the cheekbones, and long triangle bangs from the middle of the head, as they will emphasize the triangular shape of the forehead. "Avoid side partings and updos with volume at the top, as these will only add length to your face," adds Michelle Paterson, stylist at Pouts & Pinups.

What to take into account:“A layered bob to the chin and below can soften a diamond face,” says Marco Pelusi. “But almost all haircuts will suit this face shape as long as they are done softly and without harsh angles.” “A deep side parting is another great idea for those with a diamond-shaped face as it focuses attention on one side rather than the width of the entire face,” advises Michelle Paterson. The best hairstyles for diamond-shaped faces are shown.

Trapezoidal face

A backcomb over the forehead and straight strands near the cheeks are not the best solution for Kelly Osbourne. A retro hairstyle with side bangs and volume on the sides looks stylish and balances the proportions of the face.

What is not suitable: A trapezoidal (pear-shaped) face is characterized by a narrow, low forehead and a wide, square lower jaw. The recommendations are basically the same as for a square face type. Haircuts that widen near the chin, excessively smooth styling, ultra short haircuts. « Special attention you need to pay attention to the bangs, because with a small forehead they can turn out too short and stick out,” reminds Daniela Schulte.

What to take into account:« Short haircuts Square-shaped hair can look great when longer strands are left on the sides to balance out the narrowness of the top of the head,” notes Daniela Schulte. Additionally, a bob with volume at the top and a bob with a side part and an angled cut also work very well for this face shape. Long bangs are recommended - oblique or straight (don't forget to add volume to them by styling). Hairstyles that perfectly balance a trapezoidal face can be found.

• Visually extend the short neck You can use short haircuts, the back edging of which is made in the shape of an elongated cape. A good option would be an A-bob haircut: its side strands visually lengthen a short neck. If a woman has long hair, updos will also help to visually lengthen her neck. It is advisable to avoid buns, braids and ponytails located at the back of the head.

• Long thin neck it looks more proportional if you add it with a shoulder-length cascade. Styles that expose the neck are contraindicated. But some women prefer to show off their swan neck, so they go for short hairstyles.
• Small sloping chin balanced with an A-bob or long straight hair that lengthens the face.
• Brighten up a heavy chin Any type of bangs helps, except for a perfectly even one that follows the line of the lower jaw. The haircut should have soft, rounded lines (a cascade works well), with a length just below the chin. It is not recommended to wear your hair in a ponytail.
• Small head with a flat back will look more proportional with short and medium hairstyles that have volume at the back of the head.
• For those with large heads It is not recommended to wear short voluminous hairstyles, do perm, small curls, straight and sleek strands. Instead, look for layered haircuts that are shoulder length or just below.

• Drooping (“bulldog”) cheeks emphasize ultra-short hairstyles, small curls, straight strands along the face. Disguise them with structured haircuts, such as bobs.

Haircuts for a wide face are suitable for all ages, but will be especially relevant in youth, when so much attention is paid to appearance.

Graduated haircuts

Haircuts on long hair will look most natural in this situation. You just need to adhere to one rule that will lead you to ultimate success: do not create volume in the cheeks. Excessive volume will round your face even more, completely ruining the overall picture.

"Ragged" haircuts for wide faces

You can add clarity to the lines using smooth strands that taper towards the ends. A length below shoulder level looks very good, but only if, starting from the level of the lips, the strands cascade. A good way to narrow your face is to use long, side-swept bangs. Again, this option is perfect for long strands.

Colored locks

Those with a wide face should pay attention not only to the shape of the haircut, but also to the color of their hair. You can hide wide facial features by coloring the strands around it.

Haircuts with long strands for wide faces

“Bob”. Bob and bob haircuts with lengthening are simply created for a wide face. It looks good if the long front strands are placed in rings. If you part your hair sideways and remove your bangs, you can completely hide any existing imperfections. Only strict geometry in this haircut can ruin the situation, so try to avoid it.

Haircut "Ladder" for a wide face

Very often used along the cheek line. In the case of a two-layer haircut, it is better to place the short layer above the long one. A slight volume can be added using curled curls. The option with thinning looks good.

Asymmetrical haircuts for wide faces

If you are the owner short hair, then don’t focus on your temples. The side strands can be slightly twisted.

An ideal option for wide-faced people would be to use asymmetrical haircuts. Wide bangs and a ponytail will look ridiculous, so it’s better to avoid them.

When choosing a hairstyle, it is very important to emphasize the advantages of your face and figure, while hiding all their shortcomings. This is quite easy to do if you know some secrets.

Haircuts according to the shape of the face are performed based on some rules given below:

Oval shaped face

It is very undesirable to resort to geometric hairstyles, straight parting or completely combed back hair, which emphasize all the shortcomings of a given face shape.

If you choose massive, thick bangs, it will be a big mistake: it will draw the attention of others to the heaviness of your chin. The same thing will happen if the choice falls on a “slicked-back” hairstyle or complete symmetry.

Long face

The third type of person on our list is. His features are a long chin and a very high forehead. The most common solution to this problem today is Victoria Beckham's hairstyle, that is, a bob with bangs.

Round face

Distinctive facial feature round shape is that its width and length are approximately equal. The best ones that will visually bring the shape closer to the ideal are a hairstyle with asymmetrical bangs or a graduated haircut. They will make your face look much thinner.

Under no circumstances should you resort to curls with small curls: such a choice will lead to the opposite effect, visually enlarging your face. If you want something romantic, it’s better to choose large relief waves.

Long mane of voluminous hair also not the best option for the same reason. A smooth hairstyle will give the effect of no hair on an already small face, which will aggravate the situation.

Triangular face

A narrow chin and wide cheekbones are characteristics. If this shape is your case, follow some rules when choosing a haircut.

• Place the widest part of your chosen hairstyle at the level of the middle of your ear or earlobe.
• Use long bangs of any shape in your haircut, reaching your eyebrows.
• Possible styling options using backcombing or curls in the crown area.

Under no circumstances should you have short bangs or comb back the side hair at your temples. Such details will only highlight your sharp cheekbones.

Rectangular face

Can be described as an oval with a long chin and a very high forehead. Hair stylists recommend in this case to even out the shape using asymmetrical or straight thick bangs to the level of the eyebrows, as well as using curled hair that covers the ears and frames the oval of the face.

Try to avoid straightened long hair styles.
Any pronounced vertical lines in your hairstyle can greatly distance your face shape from the ideal oval.
