Ashley's Guide to Flattering Hairstyles for Every Face Shape
Understanding the synergy between your face shape and your hairstyle is the cornerstone of creating a look that highlights your best features. At Ashley's salon, nestled in the heart of Austin's vibrant beauty scene, we specialize in personalizing hairstyles to complement every face shape perfectly.
Round Faces: Creating Length and Definition
For those with round faces, characterized by wide cheekbones and a gentle jawline, the goal is to add length and create an illusion of structure. Hairstyles like the voluminous layered bob, long layers that cascade past the shoulders, or even a pixie cut with added height can redefine your facial contours. Steer clear of blunt cuts and heavy bangs that can accentuate the roundness, opting instead for soft, textured layers that draw the eye vertically.
Oval Faces: The Versatile Canvas
Oval faces, with their balanced proportions, serve as a versatile canvas for a myriad of hairstyles. From chic bobs to flowing layers, those with oval faces can experiment with lengths and textures. The key is maintaining equilibrium; overly long or extremely short styles may disrupt the natural harmony of your features. Consider incorporating subtle layers or gentle waves to add dimension without overwhelming your face's innate balance.
Square Faces: Softening Edges with Style
Square faces boast a strong jawline and pronounced cheekbones, presenting a canvas for styles that soften and feminize these angular traits. Curls, waves, and layers can introduce softness, especially when styled with a bit of roundness at the crown. Side-swept bangs or tendrils can further enhance this effect, creating a gentle frame for your face. Avoid straight-across bangs or blunt cuts that sharpen your facial angles.
Heart-Shaped Faces: Achieving Symmetry
Heart-shaped faces feature a broader brow and a narrower chin, inviting hairstyles that create a sense of balance. Looks that build volume around the jawline, like textured bobs or waves that graze the collarbone, can beautifully counterbalance the face's wider upper half. Wispy bangs or layers that start at the cheekbones can also add symmetry, drawing attention away from the forehead and toward the eyes.
