-best Hair Styles To Suit Your Face Shapes by NNFems: 11:30am On Mar 08, 2017
In the spirit of celebrating women, we bring to you ideas on the best hair styles that can suit your face shapes from Cosmpolitan online magazine:

Know the shape of your face and the simplest way to ascertain your face shape is by securing hair back with a headband and studying your reflection in the mirror. Trace an outline of your face lightly on the glass using a kohl pencil or a lip liner and see which of these shapes it most closely resembles.

Shape: Oval

The epitome of feminine perfection, oval face shapes have slim proportions and a forehead and chin of almost exactly the same width. Prominent cheekbones are part of the package.
Styles to suit: The 'ovals' are unsurprisingly the most daring of the A-list beauties in terms of dramatic restyles. With such perfect proportions and killer cheekbones, there are no defects to camouflage and that inspires confidence in a radical new look. Many celebrities are ultra conservative, but these ladies have all lopped off their locks at some time. Short and sharp, long and luxurious, bobbed, layered, curly, crimped, chignoned, with or without a fringe, anything goes if this is your shape.
Shape: Heart
Similar to the oval, but the top half of the face is wider and narrows below the cheekbones to a small, but defined, pointed chin.
Styles to suit: Create the illusion of balance between top and bottom with curls and waves introduced around level with the cheekbones. Styles with fullness through the ends directed away from the face will widen the appearance of the chin and jawbone and make for more even proportions. A fringe is an option, but is best worn short and choppy or longer and sliced into rather than in a heavy unbroken straight line.

Shape: Round

Full cheeked and rounded, this face shape is slightly chubby and childlike. Having a defined chin is a definite advantage.
Styles to suit: Side partings are sympathetic. Keep hair sleek at the sides and volumised on top. Sixties influenced styles with backcombed fullness are flattering and always a runway trend. Feathered or layered styles falling onto the face are slimming, as are soft waves. Work those high ponytails, and up-dos with loose tendrils around the hairline and sides.

Shape: Square

Slightly masculine elements such as a wide jaw and chiseled chin dominate the face. This is a strong bone structure and one of the positives is that it's a double chin free zone.
Styles to suit: Slim that wide jaw with long styles incorporating chin length layers. Make it a middle or slightly off centre parting. Fringes focus attention on the eyes and cheekbones - opt for longer broken up full ones or wispy half fringes. Textured bob cuts which fall onto the face and relaxed waves effectively disguise the widest points of the face.

Shape: Long

Typical elements include a high forehead, narrow bone structure and long well defined chin.
Styles to suit: Shorten the face with a curly bob or a mid-length or long style with layers at eye and cheekbone level to create texture. A side parting creates an illusion of width. Fringes, curls and flicks all work beautifully.
