Best Haircut For Your Face Shape
Ever wonder how hair stylists just know what cut looks good on you? The answer is staring right at you in the mirror: your face. The shape of your face more specifically. The 7 basic face shapes are oval, round, square, diamond, heart, pear and oblong. To determine the shape of your face measure:
- Forehead Width: Measure the distance across your forehead at the widest point, from hairline to hairline.
- Cheekbone Width: From your hairline above your cheekbone, measure the distance across your face to the same spot on the other side.
- Jawline Width: Start at the base of your jaw (underneath your ears). Measure the distance along the edge of your jaw until you reach the middle of your chin. Continue to measure the other side or simply multiply that number by two.
- Face Length: Begin measuring at the center of your hairline and bring it all the way down until it reaches the tip of your chin.
Once you have finished measuring, you can visit any one of these websites to see what hair styles may suit you best.
There are also cell phone apps that allow you to virtually try out hairstyles such as these listed on infinigeek.
