The best hairstyles for your face.

A women's hair is her crowning glory. It frames her face and completes her appearance. There are many, many types of hairstyles out there, but not all will look good on you unless the hairstyle fits the shape of your face. Below are the different hairstyles that are considered most flattering for each shape of face.

An Oval Face: Almost any hairstyle will go with it. You will do well with having layers near your chin or cheekbones to draw attention to them. Try to avoid hairstyles that add volumes to the top of your head. It will make your face look longer.

A Long Face: You should create the illusion of width to balance it out. Try doing your hair with long, side-swept bangs or chin-length bobs. You will also do well with curls and waves that frame the face. You should avoid letting your hair grow extremely long or having your hair cut extremely short.

A Round Face: You need to create the illusion of length, and to do this, you can have your hair cut just below your chin, or in graduated layers. Do not do your hair in short, one-length, blunt cuts.

A Square Face: The hairstyle trick with having a square face is drawing attention away from that jaw. Put texture to your hair. Short curls do exactly this, as well as long long layers that start just below the jawline.

A Heart-Shaped Face: You could bring focus to your eyes by wearing side-swept bangs, a fringe on your brow or long layers at the top or you could let your hair grow and have it done with layers that touch your cheekbones.
