The Best Haircuts For Different Face Shapes Have you ever looked in the mirror and asked, The best haircuts for different face shapes? “Mirror, mirror on the wall, what’s the best haircut of them all?” If yes, you’re one lucky chap! We’re here to talk about your predicament – the art of matching mane to mug. Now, let’s get serious for a second; humans come in varied flavors, yeah? Oval, round, square, heart, diamond, and, if you’ve been particularly naughty, pear-shaped (just kidding, pear peeps!). And every face shape is a piece of an enticing puzzle, which ends up looking pretty rad with the right haircut! Cue dramatic music. How exactly does one determine the “right haircut,” you ask? Well, it’s a harmonic trifecta of face shape, hair texture, and personality! Let’s talk texture – curly, wavy, straight, magically resistant to all hair products; we’ve seen them all. Remember, a cut that works wonders for curly locks might turn wavy hair into an absolute horror show (Hello Professor Snape!). And now, for the curveball: Your personality! Your haircut of choice should reflect you because no two personalities are alike like zebras and cheese flavors! Have you got an outgoing, bold personality? Flaunt an equally outgoing, bold haircut. Shy and reserved? Perhaps choose a style that’s understated yet chic. Scene set, curtain up, on to the ‘Maine’ (see what I did there?) event! Highlights on Square-Shaped Faces Well, well, well, if you’re graced with a square-shaped face… lucky you! You belong to the celebrity club of strong-jawed ladies like Angelina Jolie and Olivia Wilde. Are you ooohh-ing and aww-ing yet? If not, wait for the grand reveal of fitting haircuts for your sturdy facial edifice! So, first in the line is the ‘Tousled Lob’, which is about as confusing as modern art, but bear with us. You see, strategically creating layers with this style provides a distraction from your square-faced reality without actually concealing it. We’ve all seen Jennifer Lopez’s famous ‘tousled lob’ turning heads, haven’t we? But hey, what if you flaunt cascades, not waves? Fear not; our next celebrity hair-spiration brings the ‘Long & Voluminous Wave.’ With a square face, you can exaggerate these waves just like Zendaya does – because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to?! Now, Monument Y’all, here are a few “do’s” and the unavoidable “don’ts” (read: caution, road ahead). Avoid short, heavy bangs. Unless you’re planning to scare someone on Halloween, it’s a big NO. Instead, opt for side-swept bangs and soft layers, a formula that slims down your face magically (Sarah Potempa’s seal of approval here!). And while you might be breaking down the door to your stylist’s salon with this procession of ideas, remember to reflect your hairstyle with your personality because, hey, you’re not auditioning to be a JLo or Zendaya look alike (even though we’d love that). After all, your style should echo you, shouldn’t it? Organize the chaos, embrace the square, and let’s unlock your best look! Haircuts for Round Shaped Faces If you are the proud owner of a perfectly round, anything-but-geometric face, I dare you to cast your mind back to your school’s annual production of Snow White. Look past the drama over who got the lead role and the creative interpretation of costumes. Who bagged the role of the apple? Yeah, that’s right! Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who’s the roundest of them all? Now, before you roll up your sleeves and get ready for a about of fisticuffs, hear me out. Round faces are pretty epic. Have you ever seen Drew Barrymore or Ginnifer Goodwin? Precisely. These “circularly gifted” folks break the myth that round faces can’t slay the hair game. Here’s a spoiler for the magic tricks behind their oh-so-fabulous manes. Pixie cuts are godsends for the circle club. Our friend Ginnifer is a fine example with her voluminous crown and deep side parting. That, my dear, elongates the face. And no, you don’t have to taste the poison apple for every facet of hair fabulousness. What about a textured lob? They work wonders. Look at Chrissy Teigen; she made the lob work for her rounder face, adding texturizing spray to obtain tantalizing waves. Please find me a person who doesn’t want those waves. Opt for long layers and a side-parted pixie to grace your circle with architectural flair. Before you start giving the scissors a longing look, remember two things: avoid harsh angular styles and thick bangs. Tight curls? Hmm… think twice. We don’t want the attention to your face’s squareness than your mischievous grin! So, take control of your circle-influenced destiny. Stick that tongue out at the squares and rock your hairdo like the round-faced superstar you are! Understanding Diamond-Shaped Faces Ah, the elusive diamond-shaped face! You quirky creature who has dared to venture into the enthralling yet formidable world of hairstyles pat yourself on the back. Once people get it right, they create masterpieces that Leonardo Da Vinci would want to paint! With diamond face shapes, the most expansive area is typically the cheekbones, with a narrow forehead and jawline. So your motto should be volume at the top and bottom, and no to adding extra width around the cheeks, darling! So, let’s envisage Halle Berry for a moment, shall we? Her flawless short haircuts aren’t just the result of her cat-woman genes. Nay, it’s science! Short hair, focusing on top volume, can be your saving grace. If you’re more the ‘Rapunzel’ kind, fear not. Opt for long layers like the ever-stunning Jennifer Lopez, ensuring the flair starts beyond the cheekbones to maintain that balance. Cheekbone-length bangs – Yes! High ponytails – Absolutely! However, beware of the brutal beast of Mid-length Hairstyles with no layers! It’s the Voldemort of hairstyles for you, menacingly lurking in the shadows…er…salons! Some diamond-faced celebs are unaware of this danger and can set a not-so-desirable trend. Wait, did I hear Rihanna sobbing? Oops. The key is to understand your face, and remember: it’s hip to...
