I agree with all of the above examples, apart from the round face example. Having the short pixie cut (although slightly lengthens the look of the face through volume as said) also, causes the already wide forehead only to appear more wide. If what we are doing here is balancing the face then surely lengthening the hair with volume at the root would be a better option? My mother has a round face and now that she has long hair she looks far better than she did with short hair which just aged her. Now she always receives compliments on her new look and loves it. I think for some round faces the pixie cut can look fine but a longer hair cut with root volume would look better .
Haircuts That Perfectly Fit Your Face Shape, as Proven by Celebrities’ Photos
A certain hairstyle can look bad on you but great on Beyoncé and it’s not because she’s, well, Beyoncé, but because her face shape is different than yours. It’s important to determine your face shape in order to figure out what suits you best. The way you can do this is by pulling your hair back and outlining the shape of your face with a lip pencil or eyeliner.
We at Bright Side want to show you the differences between hairstyles that fit celebrities’ face shapes and ones that don’t.
Selena Gomez
For a round face, long layers help it look slimmer and highlight your beautiful features.
Hailey Bieber
An angled look makes your square face look more narrow. If you want to soften your jawline, a short middle part hairstyle is right for you.
Hilary Swank
A long face shape is the same as an oval one, just longer. It is usually best to make your long face appear wider, and the best way to do this is to use a flat iron to make waves in your hair.
Vanessa Hudgens
The goal for a diamond face shape is to highlight your elegant features rather than balance them out. For this, it’s great to go short with a textured lob.
Olivia Wilde
For square faces, it’s also cute to try out some wispy bangs that fall to the side to soften the lines of your face.
Ginnifer Goodwin
A short pixie cut with some volume on top lengthens the face and makes it look more oval, adding some texture.
Reese Witherspoon
If you want to keep your hair long, try a deep side part with some loose waves as this may draw attention away from your forehead.
Kourtney Kardashian
It’s best to stay away from making middle parts in your hair, so a deep side part with long waves may do the trick to make you look fabulous.
Sarah Jessica Parker
A good salon-like blowout is a great way to gain more volume to your hair. Try to avoid sleek hairstyles as this will make your face appear longer than it is.
Beyoncé
Keep your hair from falling flat by adding some volume with side-swept bangs — they shape your face really well and prevent you from having to cut your hair.
Bella Hadid
The goal for an oval face is to stay away from elongating it, which usually happens when you get one-length hairstyles.
Gwyneth Paltrow
If you want to have long hair, keeping it straight is key. It will draw your eyes down and add some length to your face.
Liv Tyler
For a long face, it’s important to balance it out, and curls would be the perfect fit. Let your curls go wild, and this will reveal your beautiful features.
