DIAMOND FACE SHAPE

What we all want to achieve when styling our hair is for it to appear that our face shape is oval. When it comes to the diamond face shape there are so many styles that really would work and look fabulous.
People that have this face shape have really dominant cheek bones. They also have a very narrow forehead and jaw line. So when styling your hair you just need to think about what will make your forehead and jaw line just a little bit wider and to not enhance the cheek bones any more.

styles that look great for a diamond face shape:
-Straight across bangs would look great because they will appear to widen the forehead.
-Short hair that is full on top.
-any length would really look good as long as it doesn't end right at the cheek bones.
Styles that wont look as good:
-parting the hair down the middle will enhance the diamond shape.
-hair length or layers ending right at the cheek bone.

** These pictures below don't necessarily show women with a oblong face shape. I am just giving examples of the actual hairstyles**

Pictures of what to do:

This short, curly style sould look good it is rounding out and widening the forehead. Doing this will make it appear more oval. If your doing this style just be sure to part it on the side and not directly in the middle.

any sort of bang would look great just make sure if your are doing a sweep bang to part it far enough over on the side widening the forehead. If it is parted closer to the middle it the bangs will draw a straight diagonal line making the diamond shape more apparent.

The length here will look great as well as the waves, widening out the jaw line.

A thick heavy bang looks great!



Pictures of what not to do:

This style is right at the wrong length for a diamond face shape. When the hair length is right at the cheek bone it will make them appear even more dominant then they already are.
Parting the hair down the middle will make diagonal lines from the middle of the hair line to the cheek bones making it look much more diamond like.
The shape of this style and the exposed forehead will enhance the diamond shape.

*Remember also that if you are doing what I have written not to do, its OK! These are just helpful hints. Be creative and have fun with your hair I don't want anyone to feel limited. I encourage trying new things because in doing so you may discover something you absolutely LOVE. I just think it is helpful to know your face shape and understand what styles might look the best!
