How to Choose a Hair Style. Square Face Type



A square face type is characterized by a wide forehead, cheekbones, jaw and heavy chin.
Quadratic-faced person is usually characterized by a broad forhead, cheekbone, lower jaw and heavy chin. These people should leave open their forehead, lift hair above the forhead and make it split above. This visually lengthens the face. Such haircuts as chin length haircuts are a perfect match for this type of face. The hair will cover the angles of the face.

A good haircut should come up to the chin, and the hair will cover the the angles of the lower jaw. This will divert attention from some angularity and short "tousled" hair with a "torn" fringe in the middle of the forehead and some wavy or curly hair will softly frame the face.





In conclusion, I'd like to say a few words that you should not unnecessarily harass your feelings about the fact that your appearance has some deviation from the classical canons. After all, sometimes, we can turn our face disadvantages to unique appealing, bright, memorable and charming features!


How To Choose a Hairstyle. Triangle Face Type

By a triangle face we mean a broad forehead and narrow sculpture (sometimes cheekbones are bigger than forehead) that sharply narrows to the chin.
The dramatic shift from a broad forehead to a narrow chin, you can mitigate the long oblique or thick straight fringe.

The recommended haircut for the triangle face is a long hair just below the chin, which can be a small fleece on top of the head. The ends of locks can be curled both inside (in this case the cheeks will look better) and outside (they will distract attention from the pointed chin).


Long hair can be smoothly combed into a straight or skew parting.


Hair spread new to the face will hide a wide forehead and cheekbones. If desired, the side locks of hair can be hair cut by steps (starting from the chin) and shape the hair inside using a hair dryer.

* Long Face Type. People having this type of face are distinguished because of a high forehead and a long chin.

With the help of hair one must optically expand the face on both sides. An ideal haircut will be a hair up to the lower corners of jaw or up to the chin arranged fluffy on tips, a rare or a full bang to the lush eyebrows, or to the volume of sculpture and ears.

If you have a long hair, add them a volume by using curler or perm. A full framing makes a thin and long face wider.

Round face. If you have this kind of face, you should choose a hairstyle, which optically lengthens the face. In this case, it is very important to leave forehead open and the top of the head area must be lush.

How to Choose a Hair Style. Oval Face Type.

The face of each person is unique. Sometimes you can find similar people, but it is not exactly the same. Some faces seem to be beautiful, others are not, this perception is often individual. The criteria of beauty is also influenced by fashion and temporary era. If Jakonda lived in our days, she could hardly be described as beautiful, and instead the face of Nifertiti causes admiration even nowadays.

One of the important beauty criteria is a shape of face. With a correctly selected hairstyle the face can be adjusted to almost ideal.

So, the shape of face can be oval, elongated, round, square, triangle.

Oval face. This face shape is considered to be ideal. It is characterized by a smooth transition lines of forehead, temples, cheekbones and chin, which are shaped in an oval. For such a face come both long hair styles as well as any haircut. You can wear hair with a fringe and without it, hair up or down, smooth hair or lush frizz, parting of any type, hairstyles with open or hidden ears. Of course, even with the oval face you need to take into account such factors as the features and age. For example, if you have a low forehead, the parting line will only underline this shortcoming, a loose long hair for an older women is totally unacceptable.

Fringe Hairstyles


Sometimes fringe plays a very important role in a hair-dress. By removing the fringe or, on the contrary, adding it, by changing its length or frames, you can transform the shape beyond recognition.

Fringe hairstyles can be divided on two groups:
  • Fringes that are a constructive element of the model. They are made along he hairstyling process. Once the process is complete, the fringe is combed out in a desirable direction and the ends of the fringe are framed in a proper way;
  • Fringes that are an independent element of a hair dress. The rest of a hairstyle can be of different shape and length. The fringe hairstyle in this case is independent and has its own value.

How correctly to make a fringe hairstyle and what techniques must be used?

Width and thickness of a fringe hairstyle

The fringe w idth is limited to the width of a forehead. It should not come out of temple hollows. Hair for a fringe is separated in a U-shaped mode, triangular or a hair parting, which is parallel to a line of hair growth. The thickness of a fringe depends on the wishes of a person. However the hair density is also very important. The more dense the fringe is, the more hair parting will be removed from a growth line. Someone likes a classical fringe hairstyle with the hair length hardly below the forehead middle. Others prefer a rather thin fringe which falls on eyes, at times hiding a sight. The third have got used to carry a dense bang almost from half of hair.

Classical fringes variants for various hairstyles

For the hair of any type and the most different length.
Tools: straight scissors, thinning shears, a hairbrush. It is possible to cut hair using razor, too. The hairstyle is done almost always on a wet hair. It always demands accuracy and carefulness.


Technics of a fringe hairstyle for an even-length hair

Such fringe is very good for thin or curly hair. To make such bang you'll need to moisten hair, separate the fringe from the hair partings area and pin the fringe up. Then comb out the first lock and cut it at the necessary level. This first lock in this case is a control fringe. Then it is necessary to separate the next lock of hair through 1 sm a horizontal hair parting, both locks must be lifted using a hairbrush perpendicularly to the head and now you can cut off the hair at the level of a control lock. Go on and comb the locks up, cut them following the previous lock's length. To make a fringe hairstyle you can use both a straight cut, and a pointing method. Once the fringe is cut, carefully comb the hair in a direction of its growth and check up a cut line - to make sure that the fringe is cut evenly or in the way you need. The last stage is thinning out the fringe.

Fluffy fringes with a one-line cut

Such fringes fit to a bob hairstyle. The length of a fringe can be any. You can have this fringe in the following way. Rectangular (or to be more exact, U-shaped) hair parting or a hair parting in the form of a triangle it is necessary to separate hair and pin it up. Make a hair parting for all the width of a fringe. The hair parting goes in a parallel line with the hair growth line on a distance of 1 cm. Comb up the extreme lock in the area of the hair growth and cut off the hair at a necessary length. Further the hairstyle is done using a "lock on a lock" technique. For this, the next locks are combed up in about 1 cm disance from each other, then comb the lock over the first lock and cut it at the same level (length).
