Rules for the selection of solemn hairstyles
To look attractive at the holiday, it is important for a girl to be able to choose a hairstyle that will suit her face. Therefore, the selection of styling is done based on the features of the structure of the face.
Factors to consider when choosing a hairstyle for a celebration:
- The oval shape is considered ideal. Any hairstyle will do, you just need to avoid additional volume on top: it will visually stretch the face, which already has the correct shape.
- A round face with styling should be close to an oval. This can be done by means of small curls of various lengths and volume over the forehead. Straight bangs and large waves should be avoided.
- The triangular and heart-shaped shapes, which have a wide forehead and a small chin, require the forehead and cheekbones to be hidden. It is good to let loose curls on the sides.
- The angularity of the square shape is easily hidden by the strands framing the face in several layers. Side parting and bangs with asymmetry are perfect. But you should not open your forehead and comb all your hair back.
- On a rectangular face, hairstyles that cover the ears and forehead look great. The bangs laid to one side and the asymmetry at the temples look great. Fully exposed forehead and temples give the look a rough look and add more angles.
- The pear-shaped shape, which features a small forehead and a wide chin, requires hiding the forehead with bangs and concentrating the styling volume in the chin area. You don't need to open your face and create volume on top.
