With so many hairstyles today, sometimes we are confused to choose. To determine the most suitable hairstyle, you need to consider the shape of your face or other features that stand out the most. Or, maybe you're looking for the perfect hairstyle for a particular outfit to wear on a special occasion. To be sure, choosing a hairstyle will be very fun when you consider what best suits your unique personality.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Choosing a Hairstyle According to Face Shape
Step 1. Choose a layered, asymmetrical, or pixie hairstyle for round-faced women
Women with round faces can opt for long hair with layers or bold cuts for short hair. Hair that goes past the shoulders or a bob provides layer upon layer of hair that disguises a round face.
For short hair, try an asymmetrical or pixie bob. These two pieces will add angle and shape to the rounded features
Step 2. Trim the sides and back short to create the angular features of the round-faced man
Men with round faces can create more defined features with longer hair on top, while the sides and back are very short or even shaved off. Complete it with a side part or a random hairstyle at the top.
A thin and neat beard that is long to cover the Adam's apple is perfect for round faces
Step 3. Try straight or center part bangs for heart-faced women
Heart-shaped faces are usually wider above the cheekbones and taper toward the chin. Bangs that fall flat on the forehead will be very suitable for heart faces because they frame the widest part of the face.
- If you don't like bangs, but have a heart-shaped face, try a center part. The side parting tends to create the illusion of lengthening which is great for round faces, but not necessary for heart-shaped faces.
- Heart faces are also great with all hair lengths and layered hair types.
Step 4. Style your hair with multiple layers, waves, or diamonds for a square-faced woman
Square-faced women have wider jaws and square features than other face shapes. Soft hairstyles are more suitable for this type of face than square or square styles.
- Multiple layers of hair length are perfect for square faces, especially if you add layers and/or waves at the ends.
- The diamond cut is longer in the back and shorter in the front, and is best suited for wavy hair with a square face.
- If you have bangs, part it to the side, don't drop it flat on your forehead to make your face look softer.
Step 5. Trim the sideburns short and style the hair upwards for the square-faced man
Men with square faces can make their faces longer with tall hairdos like the pompadour. Another way to create the illusion of a long face is to cut the sideburns above the ears.
- A long beard is also very suitable for a square face.
- If you want long hair, a small bun on top of your head can be an option. This hairstyle makes the sides look short, and the bun can be made as high as you want.
Step 6. Create volume at the top of the head for triangular-faced women and men
Men with triangular faces have narrower foreheads and cheekbones, while wider jaws. Long hair and textured at the top can make the face look more proportional.
- If you have curly hair, lengthen it at the top and style it like a random pompadour.
- If you like, a thick beard or a neat goatee can disguise the angle in the jaw.
- Women with triangular faces can opt for a layered bob with bangs. The tufts of hair in the front help create the illusion of a wider forehead.
Step 7. Try different hairstyles if you have an oval face
An oval shaped face is considered to be the face with the best proportions and can basically wear any hairstyle. Look up references in magazines and internet pictures to find your favorite cut, and take it to your stylist.
Method 2 of 3: Adjusting to Facial Features
Step 1. Cover the broad forehead with bangs
If you have a broad forehead and want to disguise it a little, the best way is bangs. Choose straight, bold bangs if your face is heart-shaped or oval.
Round and square faces work best with sideways bangs
Step 2. Divert people's attention away from the nose with a side parting
If you don't like your nose for any reason, turn people's attention toward your eyes with a side part taken from afar. The side parting also creates the impression of a long face and tends to direct attention towards the forehead and chin, away from the center of the face.
Step 3. Choose a pixie cut if your facial features are small
Small eyes, nose, and mouth may be drowned in a long, layered hairstyle. If your facial features are small, consider short hair. The pixie cut and the waist bob draw attention to the facial features and create a more proportioned look.
Men with small facial features should try keeping their hair short and avoiding beards and mustaches as their facial features can drown in the abundance of facial hair
Step 4. Cover the long neck with long hair
If you have a long neck and you want to cover it up a bit, grow your hair long. Outlets with a straight or wavy layout to distract people from the neck.
If your hair is short, it can take months to grow it out. While waiting for long hair, use pin extensions. You can also consider wearing a wig to try out different hairstyles
Method 3 of 3: Choosing a Hairstyle for a Special Occasion
Step 1. Choose a loose, wavy bun with a lacy or brocade dress
Lace or brocade dresses are very romantic and require a romantic hairstyle too. Consider a bun with loose curls and add flowers or pins as a finish. For naturally straight hair, use rollers or curl irons to add waves before bun and twisting a few times behind your head.
Secure the bun with small bobby pins and pin embellishments to complete
Step 2. Try a high, loose fishtail braid to wear with a halter dress
The halter dress fits perfectly with the hairstyle that supports the elongated style. First, apply a volumizing product to your hair and tie it in a high ponytail. Then, make a loose fish tail braid and secure it with rubber.
If your hair isn't long or voluminous, try adding pin extensions before you tie your hair in a ponytail
Step 3. Style the hair to the side for the mermaid dress
Mermaid dresses are very elegant, so complete your look with an equally elegant hairdo. Get curls by braiding hair and take it to sleep overnight. Then, open and apply styling serum before the event, and comb all the hair to one side.
Spray hairspray to lock the curls and complete this elegant style
Step 4. Try a ballerina bun in a one-shoulder dress
A one-shoulder dress is bold and dramatic, so let it be the main focus by keeping your hair away from the dress. Tie your hair into a high ponytail and curl it into a bun. Fasten with small pins.
- Consider using hair extensions or donuts if your hair is not long enough or very thin.
- For a neat and modern look, before styling, use gel or mousse to tame strands that are sticking out and untidy. Then, tie it into a ponytail and start pulling it off.
Step 5. Curl and pin short hair to one side for a classic look
If your hair is in a shoulder-length or shoulder-length bob, create a 1920s style by curling your hair using a roller or curling iron, then securing it with hairspray. Comb all the hair to one side and pin.
Step 6. Add flower clips or beaded pins to long or short hair
All hair lengths can be styled with one or more bobby pins. Long hair bun and complete with pins, or short hair with wavy curls or twists before pinning.
Choose pins that match the dress or jewelry for the best impression
Step 7. Comb your hair back or style it in a pompadour for a classic look
Men can instantly create neat hairstyles just by combing with pomade. To make a pompadour, comb the sides of your hair back when it's damp with pomade. Take a round comb, and roll the comb from behind your head while pushing your hair up and forward, in the middle of the hot blast of air from the blow dryer.
- Continue rolling your hair upwards until the top of your head is high and round. Add pomade, and secure with a strong enough hairspray.
- For optimal results, use the nozzle in the mouth of the hairdryer. This will focus the air on the section of hair being worked on.
