Oval faces

Oval faces are balanced, the forehead and jawline are equal. However, the chin and cheekbones may be predominant. This is the easiest face to style, all hairstyles suit it, short, long, tied back and bangs.

The only thing to avoid is hairstyles that are too straight especially if you have long hair. We prefer beautiful glamorous curls so as not to elongate the face further, at the risk of hardening your features.

Round faces

Round faces are distinguished by fleshy cheeks, as well as a forehead and jawline of the same size. They are generally easy to style, the balance between the different parts of the face allows you to create many hairstyles.

It gives a natural look and brings softness thanks to its rounded contours. If you fall into this category, you can wear bangs or a piece of hair that will frame your face.

Be careful, avoid squares at the jawline, this will accentuate your cheeks and make your features heavier. Instead, prefer a mid-length bob at the shoulders which will better balance the volumes. You can also straighten your hair with a middle part to refine your features.

Square faces

Square faces are easily identified with a broad forehead and a pronounced jawline. These angular frames are often associated with male faces, you can cheat with your hairstyle to soften your features.

Long cuts with volume and flexibility are perfect for this face type. You should avoid attaching them as much as possible, or even flattening them, as this will highlight the contours of the face. Short cuts should also be avoided, they draw attention to the jaw, which will unbalance the harmony of the face.

A side bang, long curly hair, a blonde balayage are ideal for square faces.

The particularity of heart-shaped faces, is that the forehead is wider than the jaw. If you want to balance the proportions, you can cheat with hairstyles that will highlight another part of your face.

If you want your forehead to be less accentuated, go for bangs! This season, curtain bangs are ultra trendy, so don’t hesitate.

To make your jawline look stronger, volume will be your best friend. Curls or wide waves on your lengths will do the job perfectly!

And for even more volume, opt for sea salt sprays, which add body and density to the hair.
