Wigs that look good on you are usually a beauty accessory that’s worth having. However, despite the numerous hairstyles currently available, not all of them typically look good or are ideal for you. The shape of your face strongly determines the style of a hairstyle that’s better suited for you.

 

You might find that a certain trendy hairstyle looks good on a certain facial structure compared to the other and vice verse. For instance, having a huge forehead will require a hairstyle that’s good at concealing your forehead or attracting attention to your hairstyle.

 

So how do ladies choose the perfect hairstyle suitable for their faces? First and foremost, knowing your facial shape is a must before proceeding with your hairstyle selection. This article distinguishes the different face shapes and the various types of elegant hairstyles suitable for each one.

 

Determining Your Face Shape

This process for determining your face shape is essential if you want to perfect your look. The first step to figuring out your facial structure is to pull all your hair back and, using a headband, tie it into a ponytail. Next is to use a lip pencil or eyeliner while looking at the mirror and outline your face. Finally, compare your face outline and see whether it fits any of the five thresholds below.

 

  1. Round shaped face- This particular face is simply a square-shaped face having softer angles. A round-shaped profile has fuller cheeks, is wider in size, and also has a wide hairline.
  2. Square shaped face-A square-shaped face is one with a jawline, cheekbone, and forehead that’s equal in terms of width. Lastly, this particular face has a jaw having a sharp angle.
  3. Heart shape face-This type of facial structure typically has a narrow jaw, a pointy chin, and a temple and forehead that’s naturally wider.
  4. Oval shape face – This face is usually longer in size, having a smooth flow from the cheeks, temple, jawline, chin, and jaw angle.
  5. Oblong shaped face- This face shape is almost similar to the square shape; however, a rectangle-shaped profile is usually longer than they are wider. Generally, your cheeks, forehead, and jawline are the same width, although your chin typically has a slight curve.
