Anyone can have any type of hair cut with the help of a trusted hairdresser.Different styles work better with different hair types.You can determine which features you want to balance out by knowing your face shape.Your cut won't stay the same forever.You can either keep your cute crop or let your tresses grow out.Whatever style you choose, have fun and be bold!
Step 1: You can draw an outline around your face.
You can get a good look at your face by looking in a mirror.To mark a dotted line, use an eyeliner pencil.To trace the outside edges of your cheeks and jaws, begin by drawing a dotted line across your forehead.Continue around the base of your chin.If you prefer, you can take a photo of your face, print it out, and trace it on the print-out.If you want to avoid using a selfies which distorts your facial proportions, consider having someone else take your photo.
Step 2: You can determine your face shape by comparing the width of each part of it.
You can use a tape measure to get the exact proportions.Determine which part of your face is widest.Look at the shape of your chin and jawline.Check to see if your face is wide or long.This will help you figure out which face shape you have.
Step 3: To identify a round or oval face, look for wide cheekbones and a rounded chin.
If your chin is rounded and your face is wider than it is, you have a round face.You have an oval face if your face is longer than it is wide.
Step 4: A square or rectangular face has a strong jaw and chin.
If your jaw is the widest part of your face, you have a square face.Your face is wider than it is long because you have a strong, square jawline.If your face is longer than it is wide, you have a rectangular-shaped face.
Step 5: The hallmark of a heart-shaped or diamond face is a narrow chin.
If your forehead or cheekbones are wider than your jaw, you have a heart-shaped face.A chin that goes down to a point is the signature feature of a heart-shaped face.If you have a heart-shaped face, it will be wider than it is long.You have a diamond-shaped face if your face is longer than it is wide and your forehead is narrower than your cheekbones.
Step 6: Decide if you want to show off or balance out your face shape.
You can pull off any haircut if you have confidence.If the effect you intended is not delivered, you might not love a haircut at all.Do you want to use your hair to highlight your features or not?If you have a short and wide face, you might want to shorten it with sweeping bangs.You might want a fringe that emphasizes your small features.You can find photos of celebrities with different haircuts on the internet.
Step 7: Oval or heart-shaped facial features should be emphasized.
If you want to make your face look more elfin, get a cut with a lot of volume up top.If you want to make your face appear smaller, try short baby bangs.If you want to draw attention to your long face, keep your hair short on the sides and add volume at the top.Oval and heart-shaped faces lend themselves to a lot of different cuts.The narrow chin of a heart-shaped face and the long proportions of an oval face can balance out a lot of volume up top but can also feel balanced under buzz-cut style pixies.
Step 8: The sculpted features of rectangular or square faces can be highlighted with a boyish cut.
A tousled haircut will make your face look bigger.Use a gel or pomade product to hold your choppy locks in place.When contrasted with feminine style choices, this kind of boyish look can be fun.
Step 9: Short faces can be shortened by keeping a lot of volume and texture at the top.
Adding length and volume to your crown and roots will shorten your face shape.It is effective on square and round faces.Adding even more length can be accomplished by keeping the hair off of your forehead.If you want to add volume to your face, consider a pixie with choppy texture.This style will break up the soft round curves of a round face and emphasize the square face.A side bang tucked behind your ear will show the roundness of your face.If you want to balance out your proportions, you can avoid this style, but it can be a great way to emphasize your facial structure.
Step 10: To balance out long faces, add choppy texture at the top and sides.
Oval, diamond, and rectangular faces are longer and leaner than other faces.If you want to make your long face appear shorter, add a sweeping side bang and keep some layers and volume at the sides of your face.Since diamond-shaped faces are narrower at the forehead, they can benefit from choppy tendrils around the sides for added width.
Step 11: The width of faces should be balanced with asymmetrical cuts.
The deeper side part and asymmetrical style play up your features.If your hair hides your face, it will make your chin look narrower.Adding pieces in front of your ears will make you appear taller and emphasize your strong bone structure.If you want to keep one side of your hair longer, you can chop the other side shorter.By using face-framing texture and bangs that distract from the width of your face, you can make your chin and jawline appear smaller.
Step 12: To make narrow, pointed chins softer, try chin-length styles.
Not all diamond and heart-shaped faces end in a pointed chin, but if you have a longer pixie you can downplay this.Get a cut that keeps your hair around your chin.An angle bob involves longer hair in the front and a shorter hair back.This style can be fun and flattering.A choppy bob is a great starting point for a shorter style.
Step 13: To hide taller foreheads on long faces, choose face-framing bangs.
If you have a rectangular, diamond, or oval face, you should keep some hair over your forehead in the form of side swept bangs.The length of your forehead can be highlighted with baby bangs and lots of volume at the top, but this style is not for everyone.
Step 14: If you have naturally curly hair, use longer layers.
If you maintain enough length for your hair to take shape, curly and wavy hair can be used for many different styles.You should get layers to make your hair lighter.Volume, movement, and texture are added to your cut by layers.If you don't know how your hair will do in a short crop, you can try a bob.Before going in for the pixie, you should observe the habits of your shorter hair.
Step 15: Thin hair should be kept at the sides and crown.
Unless you want to add width to balance out a narrow face, you should stick to a pixie.If you want to manage your hair's texture and volume, consider getting a cut that goes down around the back and bottom.To maximize your tresses, keep plenty of layers at the top of your style.If you have thicker hair, don't get a blunt cut.It might not feel balanced.
Step 16: If you want to give your hair a different look, create choppy layers and bangs.
Fine hair can feel limp in a long haircut, but it can be light and bouncy when cut short.You want your hair to look full and nice.The asymmetrical cuts look great with fine hair.There are bangs that are graduated from short to long.Go straight for baby bangs.Since it could get weighted down and start looking limp, you may want to avoid a heavy side bang.Adding highlights and lowlights will emphasize your pixie's volume.
Step 17: Texturizing and volumizing products are available.
If you have fine hair, develop an arsenal of products that will add movement.Try a variety of styling products and see which one you like the best.It's important to keep next-day styles fresh and lively.Keep your style choppy by putting these products into your roots.Try teasing your roots as well.
Step 18: Sideswept and coiffed styles can be done with long hair.
Side bangs can make your face look bigger.You don't have to style them in front of your face.It is possible to arrange long bangs into a masculine coif.A coif is when you put your bangs up and off of your head.Curls or waves can be added.Hold your hair in a coif and use styling pomade to add volume at the roots.
Step 19: If you plan to add Curls or Waves, keep length and layers at the front.
If your hair has a curling iron, you will be able to use it to your advantage.If you want to liven up your straight hair with glamorous retro finger waves or soft, tousled curls, get a slightly longer pixie cut with layers.Get a long pixie that borders on bob territory for maximum curling potential.If you want to add in a few face-framing Curls, you can keep your pixie shorter at the back and longer towards the front.
Step 20: For slicked-back styling, choose a sleek cut with more length at the front.
Would you like to try the slicked-back look?If so, keep your hair long enough to tuck behind your ears, and aim for a cut that is sleek at the back and neat around the nape of your neck.This style won't work with choppier cuts.It will be difficult to keep down the textured layers.
