How do I know the right haircut for me?

Your comprehensive guide to choosing the right haircut for your face shape

The shape of the face, the height of the forehead, and the thickness of the nose are some of the features that a hairdresser must take into account, to create a haircut that adapts to our appearance and our “morphology” (a science concerned with studying the shape and structure of living organisms and their distinctive characteristics in terms of external appearance). A beautician has a guide to help you find the haircut that suits your face.
In a report published by Marie Claire magazine, Cathy Monet, director of the beauty care department at Saint Alge salons, explained that "when a woman comes to cut her hair at the hairdresser and beautician, we first listen to her desires, and then analyze the appearance and morphology of the face to choose the haircut that Fits".
 
In this context, the expert advises the need to identify the appropriate hairstyles for each face shape, as well as the mistakes that should be avoided.

round face

The magazine showed that women with a round faces - like the American actress Cameron Diaz, for example - have full cheeks that make the face look childish.

In general, these women also have a naturally soft face shape, a shape that easily accepts many types of haircuts.

The magazine reported that to highlight the childish facial features, thick hairstyles should be chosen, and if we prefer to have long hair, we should keep a little wave.

On the other hand, if we want to have shorter hair, you can do curly hairstyles with long bangs or a wide side tuft, and it is also advisable to stay away from very short hairstyles and “curry” styles or with a middle part

Diamond face

And the magazine reported that some women - such as the American actress Jessica Alba - have prominent cheekbones and a pointed forehead and chin, which is the most feminine face shape ever.

Since the cheekbones are very visible, it is necessary to dilute them with a haircut that softens the features, and the ideal hairstyle is often in the form of long or medium hair with a pointed tuft at the bottom, and long smooth hairstyles and geometric cuts that increase the rigidity of facial features should be avoided.

square face

Like the American actress Angelina Jolie, some women have a wide forehead and a very pronounced chin, which makes the face appear completely masculine, and requires reducing the corners to appear softer.

To resist the masculine influence of the face shape, it is advisable to adopt a long haircut to highlight femininity, so the ideal hairstyle, in this case, is to leave the hair flowing or make it a little wavy, and it is advisable to avoid lifting the entire hair from the face up completely, whether it is long or short, as well as Male short haircuts.

heart shaped face

The shape of the American actress Reese Witherspoon resembles the shape of the heart so that the forehead is wide and the chin is sharp, and therefore the cheekbones are not very prominent, but rather inconspicuous at all.

In this case, it is advisable to choose a haircut that helps you fill in and highlight the chin, and the “Kare” haircut along the chin and ears will be a wonderful and perfect haircut, giving the face consistency you need.

The magazine reported that the shape of the heart is not too restrictive, so avoid very short hairstyles as well as long hair that exceeds the shoulders.

triangle face

If the shape of the face is narrow at the forehead, broad and prominent at the level of the jaws, and is not considered classic - like the American actress Jennifer Aniston - this will give you high elegance.

The magazine indicated that to reduce the thickness of the jaw, it is necessary to adopt a haircut that makes the prominent jaws consistent with the rest of the face shape, where the hair must be thick at the level of the chin, and the narrow forehead prevents us from making a surprise because it increases its visibility as well as it hides our eyes.

oval face

Women, in this case, do not have a very wide or large forehead, but rather the face is round and slightly pointed at the chin, similar to the American actress Blake Lively.

This shape is ideal because it is balanced in length and width, and allows you to do any hairstyle you want, whether long or short, taking care not to hide the facial features with locks or bangs.

rectangular face

Like South African American actress Charlize Theron, some women have long, angular faces, and unlike an oval face, our features and jawbones are more prominent and more visible.

In this case, the magazine stressed the need to avoid haircuts that divide the face into two halves, to choose short and somewhat thick haircuts from the bottom, or cut long hair in order to reduce the long appearance of the face, and advised to avoid pulling the hair on both sides.
