Finding Your Faceshape

Most woman don't even know what Faceshape they have, or how to discover it. It is something that should be taken into consideration before each hairstyle change.

First let's figure out what geometric shape your face best resembles. 

There are many different face shapes but to keep things simple I am going to cover four basic ones. 

Oval: can also be called oblong. This shapes allows your face to have a narrow forehead and narrow chin, making the widest part of your face in your cheekbones. This shape is ideal and can wear almost any style flawlessly. 

Square: is a common face shape where your temples and jaw are aligned. This shape requires more feminine hairstyles to make the shape softer, and less defined. 

Circle: otherwise known as round! But let's be honest, who wants to be called round? This Faceshape is full from above the eyes to the chin, with no distinct lines. This is one of the only shapes that requires hair to create an elongating affect. 

Heart: which can also be referred to as inverted triangle is a petite face shape, where the foreheads wider than the jaw bone and chin. In most cases a bang is worn to camouflage the wider part of the forehead.

If these pointers still can't help you make up your mind on what face shape you are, there is a little trick I learned in beauty school that works like a charm. 

It requires you to stand in front of a mirror, that you are able to reach out and touch. Using lipstick, dry erase marker or eye liner to literally draw the outline of your of your face shape while staring at yourself in the mirror. Then take a step back, and see what shape you have created!! 

If you are ever in doubt when getting a new cut or style, ask your stylist their opinion. They do this for a living, so allow them to do their job and help you find what works best for you!
