Everyone’s facial contours and facial features are different. Therefore, when choosing a hairstyle, you must maximize your strengths and avoid weaknesses.
When analyzing your face shape, it is best to comb all your hair back with a towel or hair tie, face the mirror, and look at yourself carefully. Roughly speaking, human face shapes can be divided into seven types: oval (duck egg face), round face, square face (Chinese character face), long face, Shen character face (date core shape), heart-shaped face and U-shaped face ( pear type).
Generally speaking, the ideal face shape is oval. Its characteristics are: the distance from the forehead hairline to the horizontal line of the eyebrows accounts for about one-third of the entire face; the distance from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose accounts for another third; the distance from the tip of the nose to the chin is also one-third. The face is about one and a half times as long as it is wide, with the forehead wider than the chin. Some people also call it a standard duck egg face. Generally speaking, this face shape can be matched with any kind of hairstyle. However, choosing the best hairstyle depends on other factors such as age, side profile, distance between the eyes and whether you wear glasses.
Round face shape: Characterized by arc-shaped hairline, round chin, and wider face. People with round faces are best to choose a hairstyle with a higher crown, leave bangs on one side, and wear long earrings. The best hairstyle for men with round faces should be very short on both sides, slightly longer on the top and crown, and parted on the side. When blow-drying, puff up the hair on top of your head to make your face look longer. Women's short hair can be asymmetrical or symmetrical, with side bangs, or some hair blown on the front to half cover the face and cheeks, and the hair on the top of the head is blown higher.
Square face shape: Also known as the Chinese character face, it is characterized by a square forehead, square chin, and a wider face. Hair styling should try to visually lengthen the face. For women, it is best to have an asymmetrical mid-length haircut, with more hair on one side and less hair on the other, or long hair on one side and short hair on the other. Blow the hair side up and forward to create big waves to soften the curves of your face. Another method is to cut short symmetrical hair on both sides and pull the hair ends forward to the cheeks to cover the square chin and create the visual effect of an oval face.
Long face shape: Characterized by a narrow and long face, sunken cheeks, some people have an excessively large forehead, some people may have an overly long nose, and some people may have an overly long chin.
In order to give people the visual effect of an oval face, the hairstyle design for people with long faces should focus on shortening the face length and increasing the face width. Women's hair should be mid-length to chin length. Leave more bangs on the forehead, make the hair full and fluffy on both sides, and don’t stick to the cheeks. Men's hair should be parted and slightly covering the forehead.
Shen face (jujube pit or diamond shape): characterized by a pointed and narrow forehead and chin, and wide cheekbones. Hairstyling should focus on reducing the width of the cheekbones. It is best to perm women's hair, and then when styling the hair, wave the hair close to the cheekbones forward to cover up the wide cheekbones. Blow the hair on your chin to be more fluffy. You should avoid exposing your forehead, and do not comb the hair on both sides tightly back (such as a ponytail or a high bun).
Heart-shaped face: characterized by a wide forehead and narrow chin. Hairstyling should focus on reducing the width of the forehead and adding width to the lower part of the face. Specifically, the hair length should be medium-long or shoulder-length, and the hairstyle is suitable for bangs parted in the middle or bangs slightly side-parted. The big fluffy and soft waves on the hair can achieve the visual effect of widening the chin and add a bit of charm.
You-shaped face (pear-shaped): characterized by a narrow forehead and a wide chin. In order to cover up its defects, the height and fluffiness of the hair on the top of the head should be increased, and side-parted bangs should be left to change the vision of a narrow forehead. Hair should be longer than chin length and avoid short hairstyles. It's better if you perm it, it's easy to create big waves, and the ends of your hair are soft and attached to your face.
The above section discusses the front face shape. When designing hair, you should also consider the side features of the face, the shape of the nose, the distance between the eyes, the shape of the back of the head, the length of the neck, and whether to wear glasses. There are several types of side profiles for face shapes: A basically vertical side profile is ideal and can be worn with any hairstyle. In addition, there are concave moon-shaped sides, convex moon-shaped sides, and obliquely downward and forward-inclined sides. Specific hair design should be consulted by a professional hairdresser.
In addition, when viewed from the side, those with small noses should comb their hair back. Viewed from the front, people whose nose bridge is not straight are suitable for asymmetrical hairstyles, which can distract people's attention from their noses. A flat and wide nose tends to make the face wider. If you don’t have a long face, then short hair with bangs and ear length is not suitable. Hair combed back or in a high bun can improve the face shape.
It is not suitable for people with extremely widely spaced eyes to comb their hair flatly on the back of their heads, as this will highlight the characteristics of the widely spaced eyes. It would be better to have fluffy side bangs. For those with narrow eye distance, in order to improve the face shape, they should try to blow-dry the hair on both sides diagonally back and expose the forehead to make the eyes wider.
For people who wear glasses, if they have round, oval, or square faces, they are more suitable to have short hair, thin side-length hair, and long earrings, but they are not suitable to wear wide-rimmed round glasses. . If you have a heart-shaped face or a diamond-shaped face, don’t cut your hair too short. It is suitable to wear large glasses frames with thin edges or medium thickness. People with thin faces should wear short and plump hairstyles and wear large frames to increase the visual effect of a wider face. People with a zigzag (pear-shaped) face should avoid wearing square spectacle frames, comb their hair vertically short, and leave neat bangs. It is recommended to wear large oval glasses frames, and have a hairstyle that exposes the forehead, with the ends of the hair slightly pulled forward to cover part of the protruding cheeks.
The ideal skull shape is also oval.
Everyone's head shape and size are different. In short, when choosing a hairstyle, you should try to make your face and head shape closer to the oval shape.
People with short stature and plump body are not suitable for long hair, especially permed and fluffy long hair, because this will further highlight the short and fat image. People with long bodies and long necks are more suitable for shoulder-length hair, and fluffy hair is better.
Wish you become more and more beautiful!
