Most of us have a combination of curved and angular shapes. If yours
is such, decide which aspect is more appealing to you. You can play up
your angles and curves if you see some of each to enhance your
uniqueness.
If your face is more curved (heart, pear, oval, or round), any
hairstyle ca work, from a short bob to long tresses, but match it with
the overall softness. Create a contoured hairstyle that adds height
where it is needed for balance. Wear soft bangs to slim a wide forehead.
For a round face, bring your hair forward on the cheeks to reduce
width. For a heart-shaped face, meanwhile, use an off-center part to
soften and narrow your forehead, and add fullness at the chin level. For
a pear-shaped face, add fullness and width at the forehead area to make
it appear wider, and keep your hair long enough to soften your chin
line, Just like the round face bring your face forward at the cheek
level. For an oval face, use softened styles with a slight angle.
If your face is more angular (square, rectangle, triangle or
diamond), a chin-length hairstyle can frame the face, softening the
sharp face line. A blunt cut, an asymmetrical cut, an off-face style, a
bob, and angular hairline treatments are some styles for this kind of
shape.
For a square face, emphasize your angles with asymmetrical styles or
geometric cuts. You can add off-center part or bangs, or fullness on the
sides to accentuate your cheekbones.
If your face is rectangular, the same hairstyles for the square face apply, except the adding of height on top.
For a diamond-shaped or triangular face, emphasize your cheekbones
with angular hairstyles, keep your hair flat at the cheekbones, and add
fullness or bangs if your face is diamond shaped, while off-center part
or bangs would make your forehead appear narrower for a triangular
shape.
