Choosing a Hair Style, How to choose the right hairstyle for your face shape

Have you ever spent weeks combing magazines for a new latest hairstyle, searching for looks that would work wi t h your hair type? Upon finding one, you take the picture to your hairstylist who duplicates it down to the last layer. You stare at your new sell - the style is gorgeous and works so well with your hair type. So why does it look so had? You probably didn't take your face shape into consideration.

A hair style chosen without your face shape in mind can distort your features by changing the balance of your face. A simple rule is that hair should be wide where your face is narrow vice versa and hair should have length where your face is square and vice versa.

Choosing latest hair style according to face shape

There are several methods you can use t o determine your face shape. The easiest is to ask your stylist. The next easiest is to pull your hair off your face and simply look. Often, your face is noticeably square, or oblong, or oval. If it's not, grab a bar of soap, a tube of lipstick, or an eyeliner and stand at least 15 cm from a mirror. Using whatever you've got in your hand, trace the shape of your face in the mirror.
