How To Choose A Stylish Haircut?

You may aspire to have your hair styled like your favorite celebrity, or have it cut like your best friends. However, your stylish hair cut turns out not the way you had imagined. Instead of looking great, you end up with an old, ugly, fat, or downright nasty look. How can a hairstyle that has managed to look great on your friend, or in a photograph, turn out so wrong for you?

The answer lies in the shape of your face. Granted, some of us have been blessed with features that would literally fit any stylish haircut. The rest of us though, need to be aware about the types of haircuts that would accentuate our features, and other styles we need to avoid.(Taper)

Typically, face shapes fall in the following categories - oval shape, long, round, diamond and square. If you have an oval shape or a diamond shape, pretty much any hairstyle would suit you. So, how can you tell if you have a face like that?

Well, it's pretty simple. An oval shape would have a length that is 1.5 times the width of the face. You would have a diamond shape face if your chin and forehead are narrow, with cheeks that are almost of equal length. With a diamond shape face, you need stylish haircuts that would show off your cheekbones. Wisps close to the side of your face would be great for you.

Now, as for the rest of you.....

Your face is classified under the long or oblong category if the length is more than 1.5 times the width of your face Your aim then is not to have your hairstyle make your face look longer than it already is. To do this, short stylish haircuts, or even bob hairstyles with bangs are suitable. Look for haircuts that give your hair more body especially at the sides. Long straight styles should be avoided.

Round shape faces tend to look plump and fat. You'd have a round face if the length of is about the same as the width. Thus, you need long straight or long layered styles to make your face look longer. Short stylish haircuts need to be avoided, or you'll end up looking fatter than you really are!(Taper)

If you have a square shape face, this means that you have a wide forehead and a wide chin. Stylish haircuts that are perfect for square faces would be one with layers especially at the cheek areas. Center parting hairstyles without bangs are also great for this type.

Finally, with what you know now, you'll be wiser with your hair decisions in the future. This time, you don't need your best friend's or your favorite celebrity's stylish haircuts to look good. You can look absolutely beautiful just by being you!
