Splitting Ends: Face Shaping Style

Splitting Ends: Face Shaping Style
The easiest way a woman can change her look is with a fabulous new hair cut. But how do you know what cut is best for you? Here are some helpful hints to help you out. The first step to finding the best cut to flatter your face is to determine your face shape. There are 5 face shapes: Square, Long, Heart, Round and Oval:

• Square faces form a straight line from the cheek to the jaw (like Demi Moore). Having shoulder length hair or longer is best to smooth out your strong features. Add some bounce with light curls or waves. One length styles usually work best.
• Long faces, like Jennifer Love Hewitt, are narrow and are 1 1/2 times longer than they are wide. Give it some volume girl friend! Waves and texture will balance out the face. Layers around the face will frame those “baby blues” perfectly and create the illusion of a shorter face.
• Ladies with Heart shape faces, like the well-liked Reese Witherspoon, will be widest at the forehead and have a narrow or pointy chin. Get out those sheers and chop it up! Layers add weight to a narrow jaw. Add bangs in any style to soften the face.
• Rounding the bend, like Kirsten Dunst? Your face will be equal in length as it is wide. Round faces are best flattered when the volume is turned up. Adding height at the crown will create the illusion of a longer face. (If you need help getting volume, just ask one of us Texas girls. We are pros and would be glad to help.)
• And if you’re blessed with what is considered to be the “ideal” Oval face shape, like Cindy Crawford, pretty much anything goes. So mix up the music and play a different tune whenever the mood strikes. Try new things, and often. Take advantage of the versatility of your face shape.

No matter what your face shape is, your hairstyle should enhance its unique characteristics. It’s not always easy, though, for us to be the best judge of either our face shape or the hairstyles that look best on us. That’s where a good hair stylist comes in. A good hair stylist will be able to identify your face shape A-N-D will always let you know whether or not the hairstyle of your dreams is actually the right one for your face shape
