- Front hairstyles
Front hairstyles require a certain lengthhair at the bottom of the back of the head and neck. The thing is that in such a hairstyle all the hair is combed forward, onto the forehead, which means that the hair length should be enough at least to the parietal zone, from where it turns into a small short fringe. The hairstyle itself is beautiful, but requires daily styling and therefore is not seen often.
Shape and silhouette of a hairstyle
Shape and silhouette are importanthairstyle characteristics. You can choose a fashionable and relevant hairstyle for any person, regardless of their initial face type and hairstyle.

There are very few people with ideal and correct facial features, as well as people with pronounced flaws in appearance (for example, strong facial asymmetry). But every person has minor flaws. Sometimes they are so insignificant that it is difficult to see them. But an illiterately chosen hairstyle can easily emphasize the flaws in appearance, while a skillfully chosen haircut will smooth them out and emphasize the advantages that any of you have.

Hairstyles for different types of face
Hairdressers, as well as makeup artists,When creating your image, there are 6 types of faces: oval, round, square, rectangular, diamond-shaped and triangular. Based on this, they offer specific haircuts and styling that will suit you and will highlight your natural beauty.
- Oval face
It is the oval face shape that is considered ideal.for absolutely any hairstyle. The goal of the master is to create the perfect oval shape with the help of the hairstyle. For this, hairstyles with and without bangs, backcombing, haircuts that open the ears or vice versa, symmetrical and asymmetrical hairstyles, etc. are used.
- Diamond-shaped face
A diamond-shaped face is easierjust bring it to an oval shape. Girls with this type of face are characterized by a narrow forehead, wide cheekbones and a narrowed chin. The main task of a hairstyle for a diamond-shaped face is to hide the cheekbones and make them visually narrower, or, as an option, to “expand” the chin and forehead. For a diamond-shaped face, hairstyles without bangs are recommended, only a small, thin bang combed to the side is allowed. In short haircuts, the hair at the level of the cheekbones is better combed slightly forward to disguise wide cheekbones. But combing the hair back, opening the face, is not recommended. This will only emphasize the flaws of the face shape. Experts do not recommend that owners of a diamond-shaped face wear too short haircuts. It is optimal to wear medium-length hair and avoid straight partings, as well as hairstyles with volume on the crown. This will spoil the whole impression of the hairstyle and will look ridiculous.
- Round face
This type of face is characterized by soft lines.transition from the chin to the cheekbones, which then also smoothly transition into the hairline on the forehead. A round face seems completely flat. Therefore, when choosing a hairstyle for a round face, it is necessary to give it a slightly elongated shape, which will bring the shape closer to oval. This effect can be achieved with a lush and fairly high hairstyle, preferably with a small fringe, which can be either straight or oblique. The ears can be left open (if the haircut is short) or completely covered with hair. If the ears remain open, the hairstyle should be voluminous at the top and taper towards the chin. Another way to hide excessive roundness is a side parting. Experts recommend hairstyles with oblique bangs for a round face, covering most of the wide forehead. It is important that the bangs are oblique. This way, you will make the hairstyle asymmetrical, which suits round-faced girls very well. A hairstyle with curled medium-length hair is also suitable for a round face. But in this case, you should avoid straight partings, giving preference to side partings. You should not open your cheekbones - on the contrary, it is better to cover them with curls of hair to hide the protrusions and create the illusion of an oval face. But it is better to refuse hairstyles without bangs, as well as smoothly combed back hair that opens the entire face, thereby emphasizing all the flaws. Low, non-voluminous hairstyles with closed ears, straight partings and all sorts of horizontal lines will only further emphasize the roundness of the face.
- Rectangular face
A rectangular face has an elongated shape,High forehead, long chin. All this creates the effect of a narrow and long face. To bring such a face closer to the ideal oval shape, it is necessary to disguise the forehead with a long straight fringe that reaches the eyebrow line, and the hair length should be optimally left to the level of the cheekbones or slightly lower to cover the ears. Straight partings and styling the ends of the hair inward are ideal for people with a rectangular face. This will smooth out sharp protrusions and make the face visually a little shorter. Voluminous hairstyles at the temples, framing the oval of the face and hiding the sides of the chin will look great. Experts recommend that owners of a rectangular face wear a semi-straight thick long fringe. If you want to wear long hair, it is better to get a ladder haircut, which will smooth out the straightness of the cheekbones and create an oval face shape. Sports-style haircuts are also suitable, provided that the forehead is disguised with long bangs. But too long straight hair can ruin everything and make the face look longer. A haircut that is too short, leaving the ears exposed, will have the same effect. You should avoid high bouffants and hairstyles with many vertical lines.
- Triangular face
The triangular face is characterized by wide cheekbones andvery narrow chin. To bring such a face closer to an oval shape, it is necessary to soften the sharp transition from the cheekbones to the chin and emphasize the contrast of the sharp transition lines with an emphasis on the cheekbones, typical of the Slavs. To solve this problem, you need to choose a hairstyle in which the widest part will be located slightly below the level of the earlobes (1-2 cm lower). To disguise a wide forehead, you should give preference to high hairstyles with fairly thick bangs. The ears can be left half-open or completely hidden. Experts recommend people with a triangular face type long oblique bangs to the eyebrows, covering most of the forehead. Even if you choose a short haircut, the hair must necessarily cover the upper part of the ears. When styling, the hair can be slightly combed, thereby visually stretching the face. A high hairstyle with thick straight bangs is good for a triangular face, provided that the side hair is combed back. Combed curls and straight bangs will add contrast to the details and lines of the hairstyle, and contrast goes well with a triangular face shape. But short bangs and smoothly combed hair will only emphasize the angularity of this type of face, so it is not recommended to do such hairstyles.
- Square face
People with a square face are distinguished by a very wideand a heavy chin and the same large, wide forehead. In general, the whole face seems rough and angular, so when modeling a hairstyle, it is necessary to hide the angles. Asymmetrical haircuts and styling are best suited for this. Experts advise contours with light waves that will hide the rough lines of the face. It is best to part the bangs, slightly retreating from the imaginary vertical line of the face. You can enhance the asymmetry of the hairstyle due to the difference in the length of the hair - both on the right and left sides. The lines of the details of the hairstyle intersecting in different directions will completely hide the angularity and roughness of the facial features. But straight thick bangs will emphasize a wide chin and the angularity of the face as a whole.
