>The Perfect Hair Cut
>Talofa,
I am still unsure about my face shape but I am willing to change the way I look, I think it's boring the way I look now so could you email me the instructions for taking the perfect picture as I would love to see some cool imaging from you.
Thank you so much for your time,
Christina

>Square Face

>Hair should cover the jaw line, don't cut it shorter

>Oblong Face
>
>Try to keep hair short, long hair would only

>Heart shaped Face
>
>Avoid having hair too close or too short. Keep some
>length behind the ears. Otherwise, any style will suit
>your face.
>
>Pear shaped Face
>
>Keep hair length well past the jaw line. Keep width
>and volume at the temples to balance out fullness on
>the lower part of the face.
>
>If you have a Double Chin
>
>Keep the hair about 1 1/2 to 2 inches below the jaw
>line or pulled back on the nape of the neck. Hair
>needs to be at least mid-neck to shoulder length with
>some height at the crown of the head.
