Why Face Shape Matters When Choosing a Hairstyle

Deciding on a new hairstyle can be very daunting, especially when our Insta feed is updated, styles, trends, and celebrity hair we like often change. Just like clothing, some styles can modify your frame better than others, and understanding your face shape is a good starting point. Today we will break down each one and give you the best and worst appearance so that you can fully understand what works for you and help you to choose the correct hair extensions.

Round

Celebrities with this face shape: Selena Gomez, Beyonce and Gemma Chan

The most flattering: The goal of a round face is to lengthen your facial features and balance the width of your chubby cheeks (cute!). If you want the illusion of a long face, then the mid-length hair on or below your shoulders will give you that slimming effect. Pixie cuts are also great for round faces because they add volume at the top and make your facial features look longer. If you want bangs, then the side sweep or Bardot style is the most flattering for you.

Try to avoid it: You really don't want short layers or anything that will increase the volume of the face, because it will make it look wider. The same goes for thick blunt bangs, and you should avoid any cuts that stop at the roundest part of your face.

Long

Celebrities with this face shape: Sarah Jessica Parker, Gisele Bundchen and Liv Tyler

The most flattering: if you have a long face, then you want to add some volume to the side of your face to balance it. Shorter layers and side parts are perfect for you, curls or curl creation styles should be preferred. If you want to try bangs, a blunt cut from the 60s style will look great!

Try to avoid it: definitely long hair, because it will further lengthen your face.

Square

Celebrities with this face shape: JLo, Salma Hayek and Margo Robbie

The most flattering: Long hair tends to be more flattering with a square face shape. It is worth trying curly hair or choppy layers to soften your appearance. The layers under the chin are great for shaping the face and help make the chin look rounder.

Try to avoid it: Blunt hairstyles, especially those that are flush with the chin, because they only accentuate the square chin. Center separation and dull bangs are also worth avoiding, because all these sharp edges look very rough.

Heart

Celebrities with this face shape: Cheryl Cole, Lilly Cole and Scarlett Johansson

The most flattering: You want to maintain fullness at or below the chin level, because any volume on the top of the head will emphasize the point at the jaw line. The drop ball is very suitable for softening this shape, and is a very low-maintenance style, which is completely popular now. Also choose deep side splits, as this will help to open your face and remember that wavy or curly hairstyles are more effective than poker straight hair.

Try to avoid it: definitely blunt bangs or anything that adds volume to the top of the face, as this will disrupt the balance. You also don't want a curled incision under the chin, because this will also shrink the chin.

Oval

Celebrities with this face shape: Blake Lively, Bella Hadid and Kim Kardashian

The most flattering: oval face is often the most versatile when cutting hair, so you have more options. You can really choose anything, so it's just about your personal preference and figuring out which areas of the face you want to highlight.

Try to avoid it: Even if you can cut any hair, it is important to consider your hair type first. A blunt bob may make your face more beautiful, but if you have curly hair, it will be a nightmare to try styling every day.

 Of course, no matter what the face shape, #Hair extensions can always help you. 

That's why they appear, right?

Therefore, whether you are a heart-shaped, oval-shaped or square-shaped beauty, we hope this article will give you some understanding and inspiration to find a new style that suits you:)
