Hairstyles can accentuate your best features when properly styled to complement your face shape. This can have the opposite effect if you have a hairstyle that is not flattering for your face shape. Hair styles should add balance to the face and your features. If you have a large forehead that appears imbalanced compared to the rest of your face, this, for example, can be helped by getting a hairstyle with bangs. Certain hairstyles can help to accentuate the face and play up your best features, giving you a more flattering look. Below is a list of hairstyles that are best suited for different face shapes.
Hairstyles for your face shape:
- No bangs: For those who already have a small forehead, adding bangs is not needed to create the illusion of a smaller forehead. For those with a heart shaped face that have a wider forehead, avoid blunt, straight across bangs or micro bangs, as they’ll make the top of your face appear wider. Sometimes no bangs at all are the way to go for those who have evenly proportioned faces that don’t need a certain style of bangs to add balance.
- Curtain bangs: This is a great hairstyle choice for those who have square, heart shaped or round face shapes since this style of bangs helps to soften and balance out the face. This hairstyle is useful for those with wide foreheads rather than long ones since it covers the sides of the forehead.
- Arched bangs: This hairstyle is good for those who have a large forehead and want to cover it to even out their face. Rectangle shaped faces are best suited for these bangs because their angled effect helps to soften and give the illusion of rounding to the appearance of a rectangular face.
- Side bang: This hairstyle is a good choice for round face shapes since it helps to achieve a more elongated appearance to the face. Side bangs also provide the coverage of bangs without as much commitment as getting bangs that are cut straight across since these tend to be shorter in length and take longer to grow out.
- Long blunt bangs: These are a great hairstyle for those with long foreheads since it has full coverage which draws attention away. This style looks best on oval shaped faces since it helps to balance them out by covering the elongated forehead. This hairstyle is not well suited for those who have smaller foreheads and rounded faces since it can imbalance them and make them appear even smaller.
- Micro bangs: These are a great choice for someone with a large forehead who doesn’t want to completely cover it. This is also a good choice for those with a small forehead and face who want bangs but do not want to get long ones that will make their face appear smaller. This hairstyle is a great choice for round faces since it gives the illusion that it elongates the face.
