Square or round face? With a small chin or a large forehead? Guessing the hairstyle can only enhance you in any case. See how
Do you like gathered hairstyles that leave the face uncovered? Very well, they are very feminine and refined. And they will be even more so if you choose them according to the shape of your face. A bun that looks good on a round face, for example, may not enhance a square face, and vice versa. Discover the hairstyle that suits you, taking inspiration from the faces of celebs.
The hairstyle for the edgy face
If you have an angular face, you most likely have a pointed chin, high cheekbones, or jaw that’s not exactly soft. The ideal hairstyle for you? He has to smooth the corners of the face. Like? With soft crops, possibly low and lateral. Green light to locks that caress the jaw and tufts that cover half the forehead. All stratagems that round off a slightly angular face.

To be avoided: hairstyles that are too pulled back or with a parting in the middle, as they would highlight the angularity of the features.
The hairstyle for the long face
A long face should be … shortened with a hairstyle that halves the proportions, deceiving the eye. Go ahead, therefore, a low chignon behind the neck or side, ad hairstyles pulled on the forehead and soft ponytails. The most effective ploy to make the face shorter is to let one or two wisps of hair caress the cheeks, giving the illusion of “breaking” them in half. The choice of a thick and full fringe is also excellent.

To be avoided: hairstyles that create volume on the top of the head, including high chignons, such as the donut ones: they will make the long face even longer.
The hairstyle for the small and petite face
If you have a small and petite face, make the mignon size a strong point: go ahead, therefore, for hairstyles that leave the face uncovered with a forehead and chin free from tufts of hair. Better to opt for a composed chignon rather than a voluminous hairstyle perhaps decomposed: in this case the face would seem even smaller! As for the type of crop, you can have fun with high or low buns, both simple and very elaborate.

To avoid: all hairstyles with unkempt and very wavy XXL volume.
The hairstyle for the round face
The round face should be re-proportioned, trying to attenuate the typical roundness at a full moon. Ideally, the hairstyle should create angles where they are missing. Forehead, cheeks and chin seem to be one? Go for high, voluminous chignons at the top of the garment. The forehead should be as uncovered as possible, in order to balance the size of a rounded face. Moreover, the banana chignon in the style of the 50s.
She is model Miranda Kerr.
To be avoided: hairstyles that are too pulled back that culminate in low micro-buns.
The hairstyle for the triangular face
If you have a triangle face with a large forehead and a small chin, you will need to rebalance the upper part by narrowing the forehead with a full fringe or a side tuft that creates movement. It is good to choose soft hairstyles that fall on the nape or sides of the face, avoiding adding volume to the top of the head, unless the face is overall small. Excellent choice of the side braid that adds “body” to a face with a narrow jaw and a pointed chin.

To be avoided: hairstyles that are too pulled back and parted in the middle.
The hairstyle for the oval face
The oval face is the relatively more proportionate one, which does not require particular indications: all hairstyles are “allowed”, since it does not require any particular balance of proportions. Pulled or soft hair, with or without side tufts, high or low buns: the oval face is enhanced by any type of hairstyle.

To avoid: there is no contraindicated hairstyle.
The hairstyle for the rectangular face
The goal of the ideal hairstyle for the rectangular face will be to soften the facial features, softening the more square parts, such as the jaw and cheekbones. So choose small and low buns that rebalance the structure of the face and discard all hairstyles that create volume on the sides of the head. Yes to fringes that are not too full and locks that fall on the face, caressing the lower part. The final look will be that of a more rounded face.
She is the actress Keira Knightley.
To be avoided: voluminous hairstyles on one or both sides of the face.
