FACE SHAPE

Not many people know what the best hairstyle is for their face shape. The next couple of posts I will be giving examples of some flattering styles for all different types of face shapes. Hopefully this will help some of you understand your face shape a little more and what styles really will work for you and look great.

First you need to find out what your face shape is. To do this pull your hair all back into a pony tail make sure your hair is all away from your face. Now have someone take a close up picture of you or if you prefer you can just look in the mirror. (the picture might work a little better but make sure you stand in front of something dark so that your face is defined) Now as your looking through all of these face shapes hopefully you will be able to find one that looks like yours. A lot of times someone will have two shapes in one.

For example I have an oval face shape although on one side of my face my jaw is more defined (more square) So I sort of have a mix between oval and square. For the most part though you will have more of one than the other. Sometimes it helps to have a friend nearby to figure this out with you. Sometimes it's hard to do it yourself.
This is the HEART face shape. (widest at the forehead, narrow at the chin)
In this picture it looks to me like Tyra Banks has a Heart face shape.
Square face shape (widest at the forehead and the jaw area)
I'm pretty sure Sandra Bullock has a square face shape.
Oval face shape
The beautiful Julia Roberts
Diamond face shape (very dominant cheek bones and narrow at the forehead and chin area)
Im not 100 percent sure on this one. It's hard to find Diamond face shapes.
Round face shape
Kirsten Dunst has a round face shape.
Oblong face shape (long and narrow)
Sarah Jessica Parker definitely has an oblong face shape.
So figure out what your face shape is and then in the next few posts I will give great hairstyles for each one. Leave a comment if you have any questions!

  6. I think this is so important. Especially in picking out a hairstyle. Some people should never have bangs or part their hair in the middle. LOL!

    So tell me what shape I am. I can not remember what I decided I was..... back then. ;)I think, I was round.... Yeah.
