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 be diamond-shaped! Although you might feel like you’ve just been thrust into a geometry class, my friend, it’s all part of the hair game. Don’t be square (pun intended); embrace your angles! End of today’s sermon, dear diamonds… Until next time.
Discovering Hairstyles for Other Face Shapes
Alright, let’s dive into the deep end of the haircut pool and explore some more unique facial structures – the ovals and heart shapes of the world.
Oval-faced comrades, I see you. Chances are, you’ve spent most of your life blissfully unaware of your haircut versatility superpowers. Why? Ahem, it’s because almost every hairstyle imaginable suits you. Consider yourself the human version of a dummy who wasn’t subjected to some overly enthusiastic hairdresser’s scissors! From pixies to mid-length bobs, or long wavy curls like Selena Gomez, are all fair game. Remember to maintain structure in your style to counteract the long face. But no pressure, right?
And here come my heart-shaped homies, listen up! Kristan Serafino, a leading name in celebrity hairstyles, has something special for you. Should you accept it, your mission is to go for haircuts that soften your wider forehead area. Think Reese Witherspoon. Bobs, lobs, soft layers, and side bangs can become your trademark styles. There’s a certain charm about bangs on a heart-shaped face. It’s like peanut butter meeting jelly, Ross meeting Rachel, you know, meant to be.
Let’s not forget those messy bed-head hairstyles; they work like a dream, too. And men with heart-shaped faces, don’t you dare let it dampen your spirit. A little facial hair, like stubble or a full beard, can also put you on the ‘stunning’ spectrum.
So, folks, it’s all about going with the flow (or follicles), bending it like Beckham, or, in our case, snipping it like Serafino. And remember, it isn’t a crime to experiment!
Conclusion – Unleashing the Best Looks
Hold your shears, boys and girls, for we’re about to land this beauty plane.
Let’s talk about ‘Choosing the Right Haircut’. It’s a life-altering decision that’s right up there with choosing a house or marrying your soulmate (or deciding what to watch on Netflix on a Friday night). The million-dollar question (or the two-dollar question if you buy your hair products on a budget) isn’t “What’s the trendiest haircut?” but “Which haircut is the trendiest on me?” And how do you figure that out, Sherlock? You guessed it! Experimentation.
Oh, the sweet, terrifying allure of trial and error. This ‘error’ we speak of could be as traumatizing as ending up with a mullet instead of layers, but it’s a risk we’ll have to take. There are no mistakes at the beauty school of hard knocks…just happy little detours leading you to your glamorous destination. Remember, you want to go to your high school reunion with a ‘remember me?’ hairstyle, not a ‘It-reminds-me-of-something,-oh-wait,-that’s-right,-shrimp-noodles’ one.
Embrace being unique, even if you think your ears stick out or your forehead’s too high!
Impeccably cloned to A-list celebrity look doesn’t have a patch on being perfect ‘you.’ A little birdie (aka our celebrity hairstylists) tells us that the quirkiest features are often endearing. So, let’s crank it up to a ten!
To sum it all up, think of a haircut as a sartorial expression of personality, and just like you wouldn’t be caught in neon Spandex outside the 80s (unless you’re into that sorta thing, we’re not judging), why sport a haircut that doesn’t scream… nay, whisper seductively, ‘you’? And while navigating this labyrinthine world of hair, remember our mantra: At the end of the day, it’s only hair. It’ll grow back unless you’re Voldemort.
Now, brush off those hair chips from your shoulders, spectacular human, for you’re ready to unlock your shining style! But remember, if you sport the ‘Can-I-Speak-To-The-Manager’ haircut, we won’t be able to help you. Just kidding. Maybe not! Who knows.
