Choosing a hairstyle to the shape of the face

If a woman wants a change in her life, she changes her hairstyle. So that the road to a brighter future is accompanied by compliments, and not a lingering groan because of spoiled hair, it is worth preparing. So, we are choosing a hairstyle.

Professionals distinguish five types of a woman's face: oval, circle, square or rectangle, heart and trapezoid. Among famous women, we found representatives of every type of face, so that the story about hairstyles was clear.

1. Oval

Signs: smooth line of cheekbones, forehead and chin, without protruding parts, slightly elongated, but with uniform proportions.

This type of face is considered the standard. If nature has awarded you with ideal proportions, you are free to choose a haircut - absolutely any will suit you. Jennifer Aniston, Sharon Stone, Linda Evangelista and Monica Bellucci are lucky together with you. These beauties can afford any whim - everything will suit them. Especially Sharon Stone and Linda Evangelista use this advantage: the stars often and with constant success radically change their image.

2. Circle

Signs: chubby cheeks, small chin, soft facial features.

This type of face lacks accents. Therefore, the owner of a round face should not wear a fluffy hairstyle that creates unnecessary additional volume. Small curls are also not welcome. Thick bangs on the forehead will make the lower part of the face heavier, which is completely contraindicated, but the hair "slicked" back will also only aggravate the picture. Your mantra is asymmetry.

For example, Christina Ricci made a big mistake when she cut a neat bob. Thick bangs and short strands on the face especially emphasized the chubby cheeks of the actress, which made him even rounder. But an asymmetrical haircut with ragged edges is exactly what you need. The strands falling on the cheeks "conceal" their volume, and the mobility of the hairstyle adds dynamics. The emphasis on facial expressions also adds missing accents.

Since childhood, Kirsten Dunst has lived on the stellar Olympus, so she practically does not make mistakes in terms of style. The charming actress always chooses interesting asymmetrical haircuts and styling, regardless of hair length. Cropped bangs on one side, long hair trimmed with a ladder near the face are good solutions. But there is also a hole in the old woman. Romantic braids and straight parting are the worst combination for chubby people.

3. Square or rectangle

Signs: wide lower jaw and forehead.

Oddly enough, many famous women have exactly a rectangular or square face type. The galaxy of "rectangular" celebrities includes Kathy Holmes, Paris Hilton, Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore, as well as domestic beauties Tina Kandelaki and Ksenia Sobchak. How to soften the harsh outlines?

A taboo for owners of a graphic face is straight, smooth hair, parting and thick straight bangs. Allies - curvy styling, waves and curls, as well as asymmetry.

Let's start with the most illustrative example. The great party girl and brawler Paris Hilton does not seem to need money either, and does not suffer from a lack of taste, but, nevertheless, she found a sensible stylist not so long ago. Someone who cut her blonde ugliness into a spectacular asymmetrical bob, which softened a very wide lower part of her face. Fans of glossy magazines breathed a sigh of relief - there will no longer be crazy haute couture hairstyles that look like a wig and emphasize the rude face of a socialite.

Gwyneth Paltrow, an aristocrat and intellectual of Hollywood cinema, was also mistaken when choosing her image. Long, straight hair parted in the middle is a quick recipe for transforming a beautiful woman into a masculine creature. If this effect does not suit you, change your hairstyle after Gwyneth. Volumetric curls and side parting will soften the facial features and visually make it oval, that is, perfect.

4. Heart

Signs: wide, sometimes prominent forehead, narrow, sharp chin.

Women with a face type in the shape of a heart look pretty in life. They often have flirty dimples and prominent cheekbones, which are considered very sexy today. Meanwhile, so that flirtatiousness does not develop into grotesque, it is worth following some rules.

It is not necessary to add volume "from above", and also "lick" the hair behind the ears. A fashionable evening hairstyle with a combed "spin" from the forehead to the crown and smooth sides will definitely not suit you. Also, do not make a boy-like haircut. Choose haircuts with an accent below the cheekbones, with asymmetrical thick bangs and uneven, "torn" edges.

The most legitimate blonde in Hollywood, Reese Witherspoon, before her first (and so far only) Oscar, clearly did not know how to comb her hair. Photos regularly appeared in the gossip, in which the star sported with a fleece on her head, which made her chin even sharper and more prominent. In the photographs of those times, it is her chin that first catches the eye. Today Witherspoon has changed her bouffant style for an elegant graduated haircut, complemented by side bangs and light waves at the ends of her hair. Now the whole world can notice that in addition to her chin, Reese also has white teeth and incredible blue eyes.

My face is shaped …

	Oval
	Circle
	Square or rectangle
	Hearts
	Trapeze

Who would have thought, but the style icon, sung by thousands of glossy magazines around the world, does not have an ideal face shape. It's about Victoria Beckham. An asymmetrical bob with a long strand on one side of the face is the secret weapon of the socialite. The face shape looks perfect, and the haircut is relevant. And hardly anyone remembers that the very young Victoria (then Adams, a member of the Spice Girls quintet) also made mistakes. For example, take a look at her super-short hedgehog …

5. Trapezoid

Signs: narrow forehead, wide lower jaw.

Long hair, flowing curls, side parting and voluminous styling will help soften an overly rough lower part of the face. Owners of a trapezoidal type of face should forever forget about the straight parting, short haircuts and styling that opens the forehead and ears.

The ideal beauty of Angelina Jolie is the talk of the town. But, nevertheless, only a blind person will not notice the wide lower part of Mrs. Pitt's face. Surely many consider this feature to be an additional point on the account of the actress's sexuality. But hardly anyone can argue that the star looks much more feminine with today's soft curls below the shoulders than with a short hair from the time of the movie "Hackers". I am glad that Jolie had her hair cut then specifically for the role, and not according to her own taste.

Sandra Bullock also has a trapezoidal face. And the star rarely tries to hide the heavy lower jaw. As if deliberately flaunting flaws, Sandra regularly appears on the red carpets with tall evening hairstyles. But not everything is so sad: there is a successful haircut in the arsenal of your favorite comedic actress. Voluminous, shoulder-length bob with trimmed ends and asymmetrical styling. With this hairstyle, Bullock is a showy romantic woman.

Blunders in the choice of haircuts and styling happen to everyone. In order not to waste time, it is better to learn from other people's mistakes. Now you know what type of face you have, so feel free pick a hairstyle.
