Understanding the Influence of Facial Features on Hair Style Choices

Choosing a new hair style can be difficult, and many people stick with the same one year after year because it is simple and they are comfortable with it. But, that doesn't mean they have the hairstyle they love or even the one that suits them best. Sometimes it is good to shake things up and try a different hairstyle. There are two key factors to choosing the perfect hairstyle. First of all, it is necessary to choose quality hair products such as the ones in the Kerastase range. This will ensure your hair has all the nutrition it needs and looks fantastic. The right products help to give your hair a natural shine, allowing it to look fantastic. Secondly, the reason that some hair styles are better suited than others is due to individual facial features. The way your face is shaped has a direct relationship with the best hairstyle for your needs.

Facial Features

When we talk about facial features, we are referring to the width of your face, the height of it, and the shape. There are many different variants but the most common are:

Round: Round faces are well-balanced and curve at the top and bottom which makes them best suited for asymmetric designs. However, you should try to add height to your hair to reduce the roundness of the face. If this isn't an option, then having hair below the neckline can appear to widen the lower part of the face.

Rectangular: This type of face is well suited to shorter hair styles that frame the face. You want to create a full hairstyle, perhaps one that drops on each side of the face. However, you should avoid adding height to your face as this will create an unbalanced look.

Square: Square faces will find that styles which reduce the squareness of the face tend to be best. That means choosing waves or added height can transform your look.

Triangle: A triangular face which is narrower facial feature at the top and has a wide jaw line can be balanced by adding volume and even bangs especially around the temples.

Face Profiles

It isn't just about the shape of your face. The profile can also make a difference.

Convex: A convex profile is when you have a more prominent nose and a less prominent forehead and chin. You can reduce the harshness of this profile by making sure your hair is full around your face, specifically your forehead.

Concave: Concave faces tend to have prominent chins and possibly prominent foreheads. It is best to adopt a fringe and add fullness in the nape.

To get the right hair style for your features, you simply need to determine your face type and then adapt accordingly with a style that will help you look fantastic and boost your confidence level.
