The right hairstyles for your face, pt 2

Oblong face:

An oblong shaped face is generally more longer than an oval shaped one.There are many oblong face hairstyles to choose from. As your face is long, you need to choose a haircut that will have good amount of hair volume on the sides and less volume on the top.

Oblong Face Hairstyles :

If you have an oblong face, it is better to go in for short and medium haircuts. Long haircuts may make your head look longer. However, with some adjustments to long hairstyles, you can wear a long haircut and create an illusion of a less oblong face.

Short Hairstyles
In case of an oblong face, the best option is to choose a short hairstyle with a bit of volume on the sides. While choosing a short haircut, make sure that you do not choose a very short haircut, as this will not add width to the sides of the face. Wearing a boyish haircut which is only till above the ear will make your face appear longer. Two of the best oblong face hairstyles for women are a chin-length bob or a shoulder-length bob. To add a little more style, just wear any of these haircuts with bangs skimming through the eyebrows. This will certainly make your face look beautiful.

The right hairstyles for your face

So many hairstyles, so many wrong outlook of these styles on faces,to achieve the perfect style for your face, you need to know the shape of your face.

I have met people with the dissatisfied look on their faces about their hairstyles, complaining about how the style look on them.

what you need to do is find out the shape of your face, consult with your stylist and you will get the best result.

There are different shapes of faces
ROUND, OBLONG, SQUARE,HEART SHAPE & MORE

I will start with the "Round face"

Round face:

The most common features that qualify a face as being round are absence of strong cheekbones, fullness of the cheeks, a rounded chin and a neck that may not be short but seems to be so. However, no face shape is perfect and a person with a round face may have a pronounced chin.
women with round faces should try hairstyles that would play down the roundness of their face and make it look slimmer.

Short Hairstyles for Round Face: Although short hair is not advised for round faces,certain short haircuts could look good on round faces. The key to impressive short haircuts for round faces is to add volume at the top of the head through layering or heightened bangs. A haircut is also crucial for those who want to wear short hairstyles for a round face structure. The best hair length for women with a round face shape is one that ends well above the chin or a few inches below the chin and above the shoulders. Hair up to the level of the chin is a strict no no. For very short hair, the pixie cut is a great option. This haircut reduces the volume of the face by adding short wispy layers to the hair. Shag cuts with wispy ends between the chin and the shoulder would also achieve the same result. An off centered partition of the hair further helps to reduce the roundness of the face.

Long Hairstyles for Round Face: The most highly recommended round face hairstyles can be worn in long hair as it makes the face look longer and slimmer. Long hairstyle is particularly advised if you have a center parting that draws attention along the length of the face. Cutting hair in layers that would let it fall in long lines along the sides of the face works well for many. The main aim of the hairstylist should be to keep the longer locks sleek and slender until they pass below the chin. Adding wispy tapered ends would help soften the roundness of the face. An offset side fringe also acts to give the face and the neck a slender look.


Styles to Avoid for Round Face
Stay away from heavy, blunt bangs that add volume to the face. Instead get long, wispy layered bangs with a side parting.

Do not fall for the flattering curls next to the cheeks. They just add fullness to the face

Blunt ends close to the cheeks make the cheekbones look wider.

Bob cut is just NOT the hairstyle for round faces as it emphasizes the
cheeks.

Purchasing DOs & Don'ts

Do buy multipurpose makeup, such as lip-cheek combinations.

Do shop in daylight for foundation

Don't equate "dermatologist tested" with better quality.The claim does not guarantee that the doctor approved of the product,just that it was tested

Do save your receipts. many stores will refund your money within a specified period of time if you are not satisfied with a product.if any cream based makeup smells or has an odd texture, take it back. it is probably old.
