>>Your hairstyle speaks a lot about you. Trendy or
>>classy, wild or demure, whatever be the style, you
>>must choose a cut that flatters your face. The problem
>>is, how to determine which type of hair cut will
>>complement the shape of your face?
>>
>>Before the advent of technology in the hairdressers'
>>salon, what you could do was experiment with various
>>styles over a period of time and learn which style
>>suits best. However, this was an agonizing process in
>>which you would have to wait till an unflattering
>>style grew out before you could switch to a new one.
>>Now days, there is a computerized solution to this
>>problem where you can actually see yourself on screen
>>with various hairstyles and cuts superimposed on your
>>head. This makes choosing a cut much easier. The
>>downside is that when performed by the salon this is
>>an expensive process. If you'd like to have some
>>imaging like this done for free please email me
>>personally for instructions on taking a picture
>>suitable for digital mainpulation in our softwear.
>>Along with your modified photo(s) I will include a
>>personalized image assessment or makeover regimen.
>>
>>If you prefer to be your own judge I'll give you some
>>basic rules of thumb that you could follow while
>>ultimately deciding upon a haircut for your self.
>>First you need to determine the shape of your face.
>>The simplest most intuitive way to do this is to stand
>>close to the mirror and with a lipstick draw the
>>outline of your face on the mirror. Stand back and
>>observe the basic shape. (Remember to clean off the
>>lipstick from the mirror with some alchohol
>>afterward!) Then follow the guidelines given below
>>relevant for your face shape.
>>
>>Round Face
>>
>>Hair will need lift at the top, length at the back,
>>width at the sides - this will make the face look
>>longer. This effect can also be achieved with a short
>>haircut.
>>
>>Square Face
>>
>>Hair should cover the jaw line, don't cut it shorter
>>than the jaw. Unless your willing to go ultra-short!
>>Keep bottom length below the jaw line with angles cut
>>into the hair around the face starting at the
>>cheekbones.
>>
>>Oval Face
>>
>>This is considered the "ideal" face shape. As with the
>>heart-shaped face, any hairstyle would look good short
>>or long. Although in my opinion too many women with
>>this face shape choose long and keep it that way
>>forever.
>>
>>Oblong Face
>>
>>Try to keep hair short, long hair would only
>>accentuate the length of the face. Also, if you face
>>is long and thin, try bangs and fullness on the
>sides.
>>
>>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.
