When looking for a new hairstyle, you must consider all the factors: face shape, hair texture, and facial features. Find out which style suits you best. Whether your hair is straight or curly, thick or thin, somewhere there is the right hairstyle for you that will make you even more beautiful and seductive. If you feel a bit lost, read on as we’ll discuss six useful tips to help you narrow down the choice and make the right pick.
Know the shape of your head
Choose the hairstyle that will best suit your face shape. Your hairstyle must be the opposite of your shape. For example, a square face looks best with long wavy hair that will soften the sharp corners of the face. To reveal your shape, make a ponytail to keep your hair away from your face, apply lipstick and outline your facial features.
Round face – you have a round face if your jaw and hair are rounded. The face is equally long and wide, and the widest at the height of the cheekbones.
Square face – you have a square face if your forehead is the longest part of your face and your jawline is strong, square, and the widest part of your face.
Oblong face – if your face is longer than it is wide, then you have this face shape. The forehead, jaw, and cheekbones are the same width, and your hair and jaw are slightly rounded.
Oval face – you have this shape if your face is longer than it is wide. It is the widest on the cheekbones, and the jawline is gently rounded.
You can look up the different hairstyles depending on the shape of your head, or you can consult with your stylist on what particular type would suit you the best.
Layers for different occasions and purposes
Layers are a perfect choice to boost the natural waves and look of your hair, make it more appealing, create texture, and the many “types” go almost with every style, type of hair, and look. Choosing the right type can be a bit difficult. For example, if you find yourself in a constant hurry and are always in a rush, then shaggy layers might just be the thing you need. They are the perfect fit for people who don’t have a lot of time on their hands yet want to look exquisite and stylish. We do recommend going to a professional stylist, as the many types of layered haircuts require someone with experience and a pair of quality scissors. From classic to short and long layers, each style and type is perfect for round-faced people with flat hair or short in length. And, avoid asking for a “number” of layers, as it is almost impossible to achieve something like that; rather, look for the specific type and explain it to your hairdresser (V-shaped, sleek lob, choppy layers at different lengths).
Cover your “flaws”
Although we are beautiful, most of us are self-conscious about certain details regarding our physical appearance. If you happen to be unsatisfied with some traits, use your hair to cover or hide them effectively. If you have big ears, don’t have short hair, ponytails, or buns. You can cover your high forehead with bangs, and you can cover your neck with long hair. If you have a low nose, choose an airy hairstyle with raised sides. If you have a flat nose, you will look good with your hair up. You get the idea, there are numerous things you can hide with ease.
Consider hair texture
Choose a style that suits your hair texture. If you have thin and silky hair, maybe a long hairstyle should be avoided, because it can seem a bit infantile. Instead, cut it gradually or to the shoulder length. If you want bangs, then make them sideways instead of blunt ones, as it looks more appealing and mature. If you have thick, coarse, curly hair, then don’t cut it too short, because it will resemble some kind of messy bush. If your hair is prone to tangles, let it be below the chin, or longer if it tangles often. If the hair is of medium density with a normal texture, then choose a short or long hairstyle, as in both cases it will look amazing.
Consider maintenance
How much time are you willing to spend every day taking care of your hair? If five minutes is enough, then don’t choose a hairstyle that will need to be ironed or curled every day. For short hair, you will need to go for a haircut every 3 or 4 months. As for long hair, you will have to take care that the tips do not start to fall out and that you don’t damage it with various devices.
Add some color
Although you will need to maintain it, it can make a big difference to your look if it is coordinated with your complexion. Choosing the right color can be a pain, so it’s best to ask your hairdresser for help.
Follow these tips, and we assure you that you’ll pick the right hairstyle in no time. Choosing the right one can definitely boost your confidence and make you feel more secure about the way you look. Therefore, take your time and experiment a bit until you find the right formula.
