If you have an oval face shape...


Charlize Theron

An oval face has long been the known as the most desired face shape in the beauty industry and it is probably the most versatile when choosing a haircut to compliment. An oval face is longer than it is wide with not much jutting definition around the cheekbones and a slightly wider forehead than chin.

How to wear your hair: A centre parting on the crown of the head is a great look for the oval shape as it keeps the face symmetrical. Adding texture using layers and waves helps to prevent long hair adding too much length to the face. This big, beautiful hair is a winning combination and all you have to take care of keeping the hair looking super glossy and shiny. Volume to the hair can also be added by also using a good stronghold hairspray or salt spray to give extra texture.

If you have a squarish face...

Angelina Jolie

The characteristics of a square face are that the sides of the face will be straight and the face will be nearly as wide as it is long. The jawline is defined, with only a minimal curve, therefore a square face shape requires haircuts, styles and makeup that will help to soften the strong angles that are characteristic of the shape.

How to wear your hair: Wavy ends are a perfect style for a square face especially from the ears down, which helps obscure any harshness within the jawline. Use a large round brush to smooth hair, then spritz on a wave spray to fix into place. A square face can also pull of a tousled look, by running and shaking your fingers through the hair with a styling cream to emphasise layers and soften angles.
