Hairstyles suited to face shapes such as angular and round faces

You may want to try a new hairstyle, but it can be difficult to dive in blindly because you don't know which style will suit your face best. Furthermore, there is a tendency to stick with your current hairstyle for fear that one that doesn't match your face shape might make you look somewhat ridiculous. If you have decided to change your hairstyle, take a look at the following list of hairstyles suited to different face shapes. You will be able to find out which hairstyle suits you best.

Hairstyles for face shapes - Round face, Angular face

Among hairstyles for women, if you have a round face, you should choose a dark hair color to make your face appear slimmer. Since bushy hair is not suitable for a round face, a layered cut is recommended. If you want short hair, try a C-curl style that flips outward. This not only balances a round face but also makes the hair look much fuller. If trying a perm is difficult, accent your look with a bob cut. If you have an angular face, it is better to choose a somewhat feminine hairstyle. Large waves that create a calm impression are well suited to angular faces. For men, a parting perm is a good choice for this face shape.

Hairstyles for face shapes - Long face, Inverted triangle

For women with a long face, long hairstyles that compensate for its drawbacks are a good match. Additionally, bangs can make a long face appear smaller. For men seeking a hairstyle suited to their face shape, try a spin swallow perm or see-through bangs. For an inverted-triangle face, where the forehead is wide but the lower face is narrow, long hair with large waves can help draw attention away from the face shape. Bangs can also help balance a wide forehead. Among hairstyles for women with an inverted-triangle face, choppy bangs, which create a cute and lively impression, are noteworthy. See-through bangs, which create a natural look, are another hairstyle suited to an inverted-triangle face.
