The beginning of the year is often synonym of good resolutions. No drink, no food and losing weight during the month following the overeating of the festivities. Doing sport, modifying our outline and why not changing your look?
Yes but which haircut for which face?
LiveCoiffure.com proposes to answer by giving you a few pieces of advice
As a start, a reminder on face shapes. There are seven geometric shapes: Oval, rectangle, square, circle, low triangle (heart shape), high triangle (rare because of the pear shape), hexagonal. In addition to these considerations on the shape, your hairdresser must also observe the general proportions around like the length of your neck, shoulders width, kind of hair, your personality and your way of life…with your hair! We give you some information regarding geometric face shapes.
The square face like Demi Moore, Paris Hilton ou Salma Hayek…
The width of a face represents two-thirds of the length. The jawbone, the forehead and the cheeks have about the same width. If we had to mention a disadvantage for this kind of face I would way the importance of the jawbone. You generally prefer to soften it with an adapted haircut. If you’re comfortable, every kind of haircut can fit, even those which highlight the jawbone like the haircut of
Louise Brooks
.
On the other hand, the professionals advice those who do not want to highlight the square structure, having a longer haircut in order to soften the whole thing.
LiveCoiffure.com opts for a length under the chin or loner, preferably, without volume on the sides. Bringing volume on the top of the head adds height giving an impression of « stretching» the face. You can also choose a haircut whose soft curve around the jawbone would soften the angles of the square. Finally, the staggered and asymmetric lines fit also very well this face shape.
The round face like Adèle, Laetitia Casta ou Lily Cole
The round face is characterized by a distance from the chin to the top of the forehead which is the same as the one from one side to another side at cheekbone level. The absence of angular feature at cheekbone and forehead level is specific to the circle. This shape tends to be wider at cheekbone level which gives an angelic and childish look. This face shape which is naturally soft and enjoyable can stand different haircuts.
We propose you haircuts giving more volume on the top of the head than on the sides. The aim is to stretch the round shape of the face. You can have long or medium length hair. If you don’t like long hair, you can choose a short haircut as long as it gives enough volume.
Now, you only have to receive advice from a “visagist” hairdresser or from a professional whose experience will lead him to observe you as a whole in order to respect your morphology, your personality and the reality of time given to your hair!
