How to Look Best

As an old saying goes that "good horse with a good saddle", a perfect dress should come with a flattering hairstyle.

While picking the right hairstyle depends on many factors including your face shape and the look you wish to achieve. If you are a girl who knows what she wants, you will make the job of the hairstylist easier. Use the following guidelines to create the look that's best for you.

Different hairstyles suit different face shapes, so try to choose the most suitable one to show off your fashion taste and your special personality.

Hairstyles for Different Face Shapes

For Oval Face: Since any type of hairstyle flatters this face, so choose one that will show off your egg-shaped and balanced on top and bottom.

For Long Face: Make a long face look shorter with hair that sits above the shoulders. Long layers work well, as do bangs. Since midline parts elongate the face, use a side part instead.

For Square Face: Choose curvy hairstyles to soften your face if it's square, with a wide forehead, wide cheeks and an angular chin. Wearing layers around your jawline frames your face and can mask a strong, angled chin.

For Heart Face: A heart-shaped face has a wide forehead that angles down to a small chin. Try shoulder-length hair, adding layers from the chin down. Curl or flip out these layers to create a fuller bottom that balances your small chin. A chin-length bob works well too.

For Round Face: A round face features a small chin, wide cheeks and small cheekbones. Elongate it with longer hair that extends below your chin. Layers on top add volume and height; layers around the cheeks narrow your face. Avoid bangs and chin-length styles.
