NEW HAIRSTYLE

When choosing a new hairstyle you should look carefully at the shape of your face. Try this when shampooing your hair. Lather it up onto the top of your head, put your glasses on if you wear them, and pull and pat it into different shapes.

• If you have a round face, you should aim to add length. If you don’t want long hair, part your hair on top. Avoid a neat bob with a fringe.

• If you have an oval face, you are very lucky. Any style will suit you.

• A long face is best complemented by short hair that is quite full, with a fringe. Don’t
  go for a severe long hairdo that will only accentuate the length of your face.

• A heart-shaped face is also easy to flatter. All you need to do is avoid a heavy slab
  of a fringe that will make your face into a triangle. A softer fringe will help.

• All  a  square  face  needs  is  a little softening if the jawline is too heavy. Draw the
  attention away from the jaw with a diagonal fringe, soft tendrils of hair falling forward from the hairline and around the ears if you wear your hair up, or long loose hair with a bit of bounce below chin level.

• Try a soft fringe too for a high forehead, or try a very heavy fridge that starts quite a way back and is ‘V’ shaped, with the point of the ‘V’ in the centre of your forehead.

• If you have a receding or double chin, you need to draw attention away from it. Your hair will look best either piled to the top and back of your head, to balance the chin, or hanging loose to hide it.

Once you have decided on the shape of style that will suit your face, you need to look at your hair type and see how the requirements of the one fit the potential of the other. Your hair may be thick or fine, curly or straight, and these factors will determine to a certain extent what you can do with it.
