From short and spicy to wavy long: this cut is most suitable for your face.
Whether you have a dreamy head of curls, a cute short head, or a head of straight hair that you prefer to put in a bun – your hairstyle has a major influence on your appearance. That is why it is extra smart to find out before your hairdresser visit what kind of cut actually suits your face best. This way you look extra affordable!
Face shape
Before you choose a brand new hairstyle, it is important to determine what type of face shape you have. For example, you can have a round, heart-shaped, oval or square face. Are you unsure about your shape? Then you can always ask your hairdresser about this. Hairstylists are often trained to give advice on this.
Round face

Do you have a round face and don’t want to emphasize it even more? Then it is best to wear your hair straight or wavy along your face. In general, long hair is best for a round face. It is best to avoid too much volume around your ears and an ear-length hairstyle will not be a success either. This makes your face appear even rounder.
Heart-shaped face

People with a heart-shaped face often have cute apple cheeks, a wide forehead and a narrow chin. Do you have this type of face shape? Then you’re in luck, because there are many hairstyles for this type! A lot of volume on top of your head is good for you, because this emphasizes your face in a positive way. You can even go for a bold hairstyle, like bangs or a bob!
Oval face

Just like a heart-shaped face, many different hairstyles also suit an oval face. In people with this face shape, the hairline is slightly rounder and the jaws are slightly narrower than the temples. Medium-length haircuts look best with an oval face shape, for example a bob or a haircut with a light wave. It is better to avoid a short cut. This puts the emphasis on the top of your face and makes your face appear even longer.
Square

Characteristic of a square face is that you have an angular jawline. Chances are you want to break this up somewhat. You can do this with bangs. Make sure that the tufts fall along your face. So straight bangs are not such a good idea. If you go for a hairstyle with a lot of volume, you also ensure that your wide jawline is less noticeable. For example, think of curls or layers. This allows your hair to fall nicely around your face and makes your face appear optically rounder.
