Hairstyles for Different Face Shapes (As Requested)

Here is one way to figure out your face shape:

To find out the shape of your face, measure it with a tape measure or ruler. Take (and write down) the following:

Measure your face across the top of your cheekbones, then measure across your jaw line, between the widest points.

Measure across your forehead at the widest point. Generally the widest point will be somewhere about halfway between your eyebrows and your hairline.

Measure from the the widest point of your forehead to the bottom of your chin. (Remember that you are measuring your face -- not your entire head -- and mid-forehead to chin will usually cover that area. )

Hairstyles for round faces - There really is no one "perfect" hairstyle for a round-shaped face, as many things factor into the total equation. For example, the length of your hair, its texture and weight, your age and lifestyle requirements all play a part in what is ultimately the best.

There are good general guidelines that you can follow, but the best solution is to find a style that works best for you and all your beauty needs. 

If your face is round, the best hairstyles generally include:

1. Layered bangs rather than straight or heavy bangs.
2. Short styles which give height.
3. Styles that add length.
4. Styles that keep the sides of your hair short or close to the face.
5. Curls around the crown -- but never near the cheeks -- to create height. Keep the sides of your hair short with a curly style.
6. Longer to very long styles, with bangs and a graduated shag or layers so that the face and the neck are given a slenderizing shape.

-  If you have a square-shaped face, you have a strong, angular jawline, and your face measures about the same from top to bottom as from side to side -- think Demi Moore and Keira Knightley. Here are the hairstyles that look best on the strong, beautiful square face shape.

LONG, LOOSE WAVES

Women with oblong faces can't get away with extremely long hair, but square faces definitely can. Wear your hair long (several inches below the shoulders) in loose waves to soften your features and jawline.

SOFT, LAYERED BOB

If you want to wear your hair short, do so with a soft, layered bob. Don't get a blunt cut; it will accentuate your boxy, square jaw.

SIDESWEPT BANGS

Avoid straight, blunt and thick bangs. Instead, ask your stylist for sideswept bangs that are just below brow length.

Pixie cuts, long layered styles and curly hair below the jawline also look great on a square face.

Hairstyles for long faces - 

YOUR FACE IS LONG IF:

It's shaped like a rectangle. Features of a long face are a square jaw and a square forehead.

THE IDEAL CUT SHOULD:

Make your face appear less boxy and more oval, the ideal face shape. Oval shape faces are wider at the cheeks and slightly tapered at the forehead and chin.

WHAT LOOKS BEST ON LONG FACE SHAPES

Ask your stylist to create volume at the center of the face by cutting layers at the ear and cheekbones. This makes cheekbones appear wider and your face more oval. The overall length of your hair should fall below or above the chin so that the hairstyle doesn't compete with your strong jaw line.

"Long hair styles look fabulous on long faces," Labrecque says. Just be sure to add layers in the sweet spot – the cheekbones. If your hair is superlong, you can also start layers below the chin.

WHAT TO AVOID

A haircut that ends at your chin. It draws the eye to the jaw, and would only accentuate the length and squared off features of a long face shape.

"A bob in this instance would definitely be out," Labrecque says.

TREND TO TRY

Bangs: They help shorten a long face shape because they cover the forehead. Ask for gentle, side-swept bangs – a universally flattering look. If you're daring, a long face can pull off a blunt, severe fringe, too, Labrecque says.

If you're always pulling your hair into a ponytail, a move that emphasizes the long shape, bangs are essential for balancing the look.
