HAIRSTYLE TIPS FOR ROUND FACE SHAPE
If you have a round face, it is doubtless that you’ve heard that no matter what hairstyle you wear, you will always look heavy. This isn’t true. In fact, there are hairstyles that will actually make you appear leaner. Many people have a round face but this doesn’t mean they are heavy or that they are doomed to appear heavy. Here are some hairstyles to try that are perfect for those with round faces.
Curly bob
A curly bob is a great style for anyone who has a round face. This bob has long layers that come down to the chin. The hair is curled loosely and parted on the side. This makes the curls frame the face. Make sure the bangs are off the face, since this, along with the framing curls, will help to lengthen the face. Big, bouncy curls are best for this style, so when curling your hair, remember that you’ll need to use large hot rollers or a large curling iron.
Long Straight Layers
One of the classic styles for those with round faces is a hairstyle that features long, straight layers. No, you are not doomed to that mousy look from high school. Have your hair trimmed into long layers. Make sure that you have long bangs. Now, wash and dry your hair like normal. Part it on the side, and sweep your bangs over your forehead where they swoop over one eye. Let your hair frame your face. This will lengthen your face and bring attention to one of your best features – your eyes. As long as you keep your hair trimmed and moisturized, it will be shiny and beautiful. Dress it up with some great accessories if you want to in order to really stand out.
HAIRSTYLE TRENDS FOR LONG FACE SHAPE
If you have a long face, you have a face that will allow you to wear many different kinds of hairstyles. Short and medium haircuts are the best choices for those who have long faces, because these styles are perfect for balancing out the face. Mid-length cuts and bangs are ideal.
Long faces are shortened by bangs since bangs will cover large foreheads; this draws the eye to the part of the face from the eyebrows to chin, and keeps focus there. It’s a well-balanced look, perfect for long faces. If you have a long, thin face like Sarah Jessica Parker, you can wear lots of volume on the sides with wispy hair, layered bangs that are side swept, and enjoy a beautiful look. This style hides the long features, and keeps people focused on what is most important – your eyes, your smile, and cute cheeks.
Try to avoid long hairstyles, because these will only serve to elongate your face even more. Another thing you should avoid are hairstyles that are extremely short; your head will appear too large at the top. If you really want a shorter style, try a chin length bob. Make sure it frames your face so that there is volume on both sides which will balance your look out. Curls and waves add the illusion of volume, so these can be a great way to balance your look. No matter what you choose, as long as you avoid very short or long cuts you’ll look great!
