Determining hair styling: tips for recognizing face-cuts and enhancing them
- A hairstyle with long layers that falls in cascading waves or curls helps create a soft look for a square face and the determining lines that form it.
- Oval faces look attractive in almost all types of haircuts and styles as makeup experts and fashion stylists’ regard this as the perfect face shape. From short bangs, to wavy fringes, feathered cuts- turned inwards or outwards, perms, straight or ringlets framing the face, those with oval faces are spoilt for choice.
- Round faces look their attractive best with a hairstyle that is accompanied with a short fringe. This adds length to the face and the short, close cut gives the face a thinner appearance.
- Long faces do well with short layers or a bob with a fringe as these create horizontal lines and give the illusion of a fuller face. Scrunching up the hair or curly bobs also look good and balance the symmetry of long faces.
Hairstyling tips for different types and lengths of hair
- Medium length hair has many options: sleek bobbed look or even the trendy, lightly layered look that gives versatility to the current chic hairstyle in demand.

- Persons wearing glasses need to choose a hairstyle that will not clash with them or overpower the neatness of the haircut.

A consultation with a professional hairstylist will help figure out the sleekest hairstyle for individual type of hair and grant a style unique to the personality of the individual.
- Hair straightening is quite the rage too and getting hair relaxed may involve the use of harsh chemicals or ironing tongs, therefore professional treatment is advisable; at least for the first time, as parlor hair specialists follow up the straightening styling with a conditioning treatment and tips for care.
