A bob or a long bob with volume at the top will suit you. The most popular haircut in recent years. It suits almost everyone. But for girls with pear-shaped faces, the main rule is not to create too much volume near the cheekbones and chin.
The entire volume should be at the top. Please note, if you have thick hair, this haircut is not for you. All the volume of hair will be in the lower part, and this will inevitably visually weigh down your chin.
An excellent variation of this haircut is the length just below the cheekbones, which is ideal for thick hair.
Deep parting on the side.
This parting will seem to diffuse the width of your chin. And this is exactly what we are trying to achieve. Always try to let some hair out near your open ear to soften the look, add volume to the top, and balance out longer side-parted bangs.
High bun.
Sometimes it’s worth opening your face and showing all its charm. Gather all your hair into a voluminous high bun. The main thing is not to narrow it too much and smooth it, this will only emphasize the wide lower part. By adding volume to the bun, the silhouette of the entire head will become oval. Now all attention is on your eyes, face and overall image.
Oblique elongated bangs.
Regardless of the length of your hair, long bangs with a voluminous top will help out in any situation. Especially when you are in a hurry and just want to tie a ponytail or bun. It will complement any hairstyle or weave. By releasing bangs, you soften the entire look and balance the lower and upper parts of your face.
Lush straight bangs.
More suitable for those who have a narrow forehead rather than a wide chin. Straight bangs will create an oval silhouette of the entire head.
All variations of long curls will suit you. They will make you look more romantic and smooth out the accent of your chin. You can try classic soft chin curls, vintage waves with a deep side part, or just a beach perm.
To choose the right hair shape and length, you need to know what face shapes exist and what hairstyles are suitable for them.
There are three ways to determine your face type and shape. With these techniques, a woman can easily figure out which face shape she has. And it’s easy to choose hairstyles that suit him.
To do this, you need to take a washable marker or lipstick and stand at a distance of half a meter from the mirror. The light must fall from above, and not on the face. You need to carefully outline the contours of your face, starting from the chin. Then move on to the cheekbones and forehead.
After this, you can begin to analyze the face: where is its widest part, how much the cheekbones protrude, how wide is the forehead. By determining these parameters “by eye”, you can calculate your face type.
With its help, you can quite accurately determine the shape of your face and conclude which hairstyles are suitable for it.
How to take measurements:
Face shapes are different and hairstyles for them also need to be chosen accordingly.
If you correctly calculate your parameters, you can achieve a perfectly created image.
In total, stylists and hairdressers distinguish 8 standard types.
This type is easily recognized by its sharp, protruding cheekbones. Such faces resemble the shape of an egg, which is turned upside down with the sharp part down. Usually, The forehead and jaw of the owners of this type of face are almost the same, the chin is slightly rounded. A classic example of this type is Sarah Jessica Parker.

The name of this type speaks for itself. The widest part of such a face is the cheekbones. But usually the measurements for width and length are almost the same. Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz are bright representatives of this type.
An almost perfect rectangle is achieved by straight lines along the border of hair growth. The cheekbones are angular in shape, and the proportions of other parts of the face are the same. Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow, Heidi Klum - these universally recognized beauties have rectangular faces.

Stylists say that all face shapes are good in their own way, if you choose the right haircut and hairstyle for each of them, then you can visually correct the shortcomings that every person has.
Makeup artists warn their clients: when changing their image, under no circumstances should they be guided only by fashion trends.
The wrong hair color or haircut style can cause irreparable damage to your overall image.
It is no coincidence that experts classified the main face shapes and selected hairstyles for them.
Here are the main tasks that real professionals set for themselves when working with a client:
The choice of the right image is influenced by several factors that the master must take into account:
Stylists advise: before visiting a beauty salon, you need to look critically at yourself in the mirror, evaluate your strengths and see your shortcomings.
This type needs visual lengthening. Since the width from the top of the forehead and the distance between the cheeks are the same, it is necessary to balance the proportions. This effect can be achieved on long and medium hair.
Cascading haircuts and large curls are suitable for a round face type. If you have a short haircut, you need to give it maximum volume to make the hair appear bigger.
An asymmetrical bob will look good on such a face. Its length should be significantly below the chin line, and the back of the head must be raised.
With a round face, a classic bob to the middle of the cheek is strictly contraindicated. It is better to completely abandon the straight parting and short bangs.
What haircuts are suitable for a square face?
According to stylists, a square face is very expressive. But it requires a special approach.
To soften the harsh lines of the square, women need to choose haircuts that will make the face softer.
Which haircut is suitable for a long face? For this type of face, you need to choose hairstyles and haircuts that will visually round it out. Women belonging to this type need to forget about long and absolutely straight hair,
say the stylists.
Hairstyles for Long Faces
Which haircut is suitable for an oval face? An oval face shape is considered ideal by hairdressers and stylists.
All haircuts and styling options are suitable for her.
Hairstyles for oval faces
Hairstyles for triangular face shape. Certain restrictions in choosing a hairstyle are imposed in the case of a combination of a narrow chin and a wide forehead. Curls and bobs styled “from the face” are an ideal option for this type.
Hairstyles with volume at the top of the head look good on square faces. Thanks to the light backcombing on the bangs, you can visually elongate your face. Side partings, angled bangs and large curls are ideal.
Women with a square face type should avoid bob-style haircuts and hair tied in a ponytail.
Haircuts that visually reduce the forehead and make the chin wider are ideal.. A bob with a side parting and sloping bangs is the best option. The main thing is to choose the right length.
For ladies with a heart-shaped face, a bob whose length will be below the level of the chin is suitable. Hair should be styled towards the face.
Even a steep forehead combined with a prominent chin and well-defined cheekbones can be beautiful if you choose the right hairstyle. With the help of curvy forms, you can divert attention from obvious facial flaws and turn them into advantages.
Almost all haircut options are suitable. The main thing is to give them as much volume as possible. No “slicked” strands, stylists warn!
With this face shape, both long haircuts and medium-length hair are allowed. The main task of the stylist is to avoid large amounts of hair near the chin.
You cannot choose haircuts with the same hair length and ultra-short ones. They will visually enlarge the upper part of the head. Haircuts with oblique bangs are welcome, for example, a bob with a length below the cheekbone line.
Wide and high cheekbones, a narrow forehead and a pointed chin - these disadvantages can be turned into advantages if you visually narrow the cheekbones and maximize the forehead line using a hairstyle. If your hair is long, then large curls are ideal.
Stylists say that with such a face, you should not comb your hair in the middle. The lines should only be asymmetrical.
For medium-length hair, it is appropriate to make a bob or an elongated bob. Short hairstyles with this type of face are allowed, but they should be as voluminous as possible.
With the help of hair length, color and volume, you can correct many “natural” facial imperfections.
If nature has not blessed you with a neat nose, then you should give up smooth hair. Voluminous haircuts will “distract” attention from this shortcoming.
If your everyday hairstyle involves wearing a ponytail, then your hair should not be completely pulled back with an elastic band. At the face and back they need to be given a little volume. The only possible option for bangs is oblique and torn. If this part of the hairstyle is straight and thick, it will only make the nose appear larger.
Sarah Jessica Parker is not at all embarrassed by her rather large nose; she simply managed to turn this flaw into a clear advantage with the help of the right image.
Smooth hairstyles are contraindicated for those with a snub nose or a potato nose. For this type of face, voluminous hairstyles are suitable; backcombing is allowed. Style icon Victoria Beckham successfully disguises her less than neat nose with a mop of hair.
Large curls and large buns are suitable. The “lyrical chaos” style is a great option. Sandra Bullock's nose shape is by no means ideal. But the right hairstyle makes her irresistible.
To visually lengthen your neck, you can get a boyish haircut. This option is not suitable for everyone, but only for the bravest. A low hairline can be easily corrected using a hair clipper. But then you will have to visit the hairdresser quite often.
A short bob with elongated strands and a maximally raised nape will also help to visually make your neck longer.
Long neck To balance the proportions and make an overly long neck shorter, you need to give up hair in a ponytail or shaved nape. A cascading haircut will look ideal.
Big facial features Stylists advise women with large and expressive facial features to choose voluminous hairstyles.
Smooth and too short “boy” haircuts are absolutely not suitable for such persons.
On the contrary, voluminous hairstyles with large curls are contraindicated for those with small features. Against the background of a shock of hair, your face will become completely invisible. Such women need to choose short hairstyles that reveal their face. Ears should be as open as possible.
This natural flaw can be disguised with the right bangs. It will distract attention from the heavy lower jaw. A bob with a length below chin level is suitable. In this case, the hair needs to be styled “towards the face” and the lower part of the hairstyle should be made as full as possible.
In this case, stylists recommend not to be shy and to completely open your face to the gaze of others, and to place the main emphasis on the hair at the back. There is no need to try to hide a flat face with bangs, it will only highlight this flaw. For such a face, hairstyles with curls and fluffy curls will suit you.
Every face is beautiful in its own way, and if a woman is unhappy with her image, then she needs to choose the right hairstyle. Knowing what types of face shapes there are and what hairstyles are suitable for them, you can completely change your image.
How to choose a hairstyle according to your face shape. Stylist tips:
How to straighten your hair without harming it:
Women with a pear-shaped face have a wide lower part, prominent cheekbones, a square-shaped lower jaw, and a relatively narrow forehead.
The following will look good on you:
You can experiment with glasses that have interesting, distracting details on the top of the frame. You should also pay attention to two-tone models. Glasses with a thicker upper part than the lower part will help restore the balance of your face.
It is better for you to choose an oval or curved frame shape that follows the shape of your eyebrows. The width of the glasses should be slightly wider than the cheekbones.
The main goal when choosing a hat is to make your forehead appear wider. Hats with asymmetrical brims will help you with this.
Long earrings will suit you. Avoid wide earrings; their length should always be greater than their width. Don't buy triangular shaped earrings either.
A round eyebrow shape will help balance the shape of your face.
Here are the basic guidelines for applying makeup.
We will need a large mirror, a felt-tip pen or marker (it is better that it is easy to wash). Remove your hair from your face and go to the mirror. Remember to straighten your back and square your shoulders. Looking straight ahead, trace the outline of your face with a felt-tip pen, not taking into account the ears and volume of hair. At the same time, try not to move so that the drawing is as accurate as possible. Are you done? Step aside and evaluate the resulting figure.
Using a centimeter, measure your forehead, cheekbones and jaw at their widest point, as well as the vertical distance from your forehead to your chin. Compare the resulting indicators: which line is the widest? which is the narrowest? How much longer is the face vertically than horizontally? Match the answers with the description of each type of face.
Remember that it is rare to find a face that fits perfectly into a certain shape. More often you come across variations of the main seven types. Determine which shape is closest to yours and follow the recommendations selectively.
Considered ideal. When correcting other face shapes, we will strive specifically for oval contours. For the lucky owners of an oval face, any haircut and styling will suit you; you can safely experiment with makeup and eyebrow bending. Within the framework, of course.
If this is your face shape, congratulations! You will look younger much longer than your peers. The soft, smooth features of a round face add tenderness and femininity to your appearance. But to look even better, you need to harmonize the contour of your face: visually stretch it vertically.
Suitable for you:
Not suitable:
On a round face, short eyebrows with a high rise will look best. Long thin eyebrows can add unnecessary width.
When applying makeup, pay special attention to darkening the temples and the area under the cheekbones. Don't overdo it with light shades under the eyes and at the top of the cheekbones.
A rectangular (also called elongated) face shape is similar to an oval face, but with more pronounced cheekbones and a high forehead. To balance the rectangle, you need to smooth out sharp corners, visually reduce the forehead-chin line and widen the cheekbones.
Suitable for you:
Straight hair loose on the sides or combed back, as well as high hairstyles with a backcomb, are not suitable. They will elongate the face even more.
Give your eyebrows a horizontal shape. This will visually expand the contour of the face.
You can use a little trick: two foundations, one tone darker than the other. Darken the forehead and chin areas, and apply a lighter shade to the middle part of the face. Make sure to blend the base well without leaving a sharp color transition. Finally, highlight the top of your cheekbones by adding a little highlighter.
Women belonging to this type can be proud of their beautiful cheekbones and a clear jawline. And to look your best, it is enough to visually elongate the vertical of your face and soften its features.
Suitable for you:
Not suitable:
Don’t forget about proper eyebrow correction: choose a rounded shape or a horizontal one.
Use a simple technique: lighten the face along the central vertical (middle of the forehead - nose - middle of the chin) and slightly darken along the edges (sides of the forehead - temples - cheekbones).
A wide and high forehead is usually considered a sign of intelligence. And if you have a triangular face shape, then you can be proud of an attractive, pointed chin. And yet we strive for the oval, remember? Therefore, our goal is to visually narrow the widest line, the forehead line.
Suitable for you:
Not suitable:
Rounded arched eyebrows will look good. They will distract attention from a narrow chin.
In everyday makeup, it will be enough to just slightly darken the tip of the chin and the edges of the forehead.
In another way, such a contour can be called an inverted triangle. With the help of hair, eyebrow correction and makeup, we will widen the forehead line and narrow the chin.
Suitable for you:
Not suitable:
Elongated horizontal eyebrows will perfectly elongate the forehead.
Use foundation or highlighter to lighten the upper part of your face slightly.
A diamond-shaped face shape is often called a diamond shape. It differs from oval in its narrower forehead and chin and prominent cheekbones. This means that you need to expand the upper part of the face, divert attention from the middle and hide excess length.
Suitable for you:
Not suitable:
Girls with a diamond face should try raised eyebrows with short tips.
In makeup, it is enough to smooth out the sides of the cheekbones with a dark-colored corrector.
Each face is beautiful and unique. Know your features and know how to not only hide them, but also profitably. Sometimes you can follow the recommendations exactly the opposite to highlight the uniqueness of your facial features.
TOWhat geometric shape is your face?
Oval face shape
Signs: smooth line of cheekbones, forehead and chin, without protruding parts, slightly elongated, but with uniform proportions.
The oval face is the most versatile. You can have success with almost any hair length or texture - short or long, straight or curly. Regardless of the length of your haircut, you will look better if you add layers at the level of your cheekbones, lips or chin.
Graceful and elegant styles: bob with a smooth transition, straight bangs, long, slightly careless waves.
Avoid: Short layers that make your head look longer. If you have thick or wavy hair, avoid straight, even haircuts. Otherwise you will resemble a pyramid.
