Best Celebrity Hairstyles For Your Face

Celebrity Hair Styles

Before you seriously consider cutting your hair just like one of your favorite celebrities, you'll need to start with your own face shape. Just because you find a celebrity hair style that you like does not mean it will look good on you.

You should put your clothes selection and hair style selection into the same category. They must be adapted to your look and tastes. Just like someone with a thick waist should not wear the same clothes as someone with a small hair style should be designed to suit your facial features and even your body type.

Many celebrity hair styles today have certain characteristics to them, as long layers or bangs that can be incorporated into your hair style. So do not throw away those celebrity hair style photos because you do not have the same face shape as the celebrity.

To determine the shape of your face, remove all your hair into a ponytail or clip. Stand before a mirror and trace the outline of your face onto the mirror using something removable thing (ie a bar of soap, washable marker, etc..) Then take a step back and look at the shape you've drawn. It looks more like oval, round, square, heart-shaped or oblong? It could be a combination of several of these forms.

There are five basic shapes for the face that we will cover, oval, round, square, heart and oblong. Most of us have combinations of these face shapes.

Oval Face Shape: This is the form of 'wannabe' face, similar to the body shape of an hourglass.
Oval face shapes are highly desired and envied. All other face shapes attempt to create the illusion of an oval face. The oval face shape suits any hair style, including long, short, medium, layered, straight or even curly. Bangs can be added to emphasize the eyes or add a little change. Celebrities with oval face shape include: Jessica Alba, Charlize Theron, and Beyonce Knowles.

Round face: A round face is as wide as long with rounded edges. The nose is the center guide. Trying to maintain the appearance of an oval face shape, hair for round face shapes should be kept close to the sides of the face, while the crown height and volume will.

If you want your face to look slimmer, make sure hair showing below the chin. Layers of the mouth down remove bulk and weight from the sides. Tapered ends will draw attention away from the roundness by allowing hair to fall close to the head. Cut to length tend to widen the face. Avoid short hair and volume on the sides.
Celebrities with round face shapes: Cameron Diaz, Kyra Sedgwick and Penelope Cruz.

Square Face Shape: The square face shape is as wide as long and has strong angles. This face shape needs a hair gently to mitigate the effects of angles.

Long hair styles should be above the shoulders, with face-framing layers to soften the jaw line. Short hair should be kept round and soft with height in the crown area. Wispy bangs are great, as well as fluffy, wispy curls.

Avoid hair styles for long, especially chin length bob and bangs. These styles will accentuate the square-ness of the shape of your face. Celebrities with square face shapes include: Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Geena Davis.

Face Heart: The heart shaped face is wide in the area of ??the eyes and cheekbones with a narrow chin or sharp. Many heart-shaped faces also have a high forehead.

For long hair styles, long, wavy add layers around your cheekbones that fall into the neck area. For short hair, add top layers that are long and soft. Side-swept bangs are a great technique to reduce the width and height of the forehead area.

Avoid blunt cut bangs, short hair, ponytails and choppy layers. Subtle layering is much more flattering. Celebrities with heart shaped face include: Brittany Murphy, Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johannson.

Long face shape: long faces are described as oblong-long and narrow. The objective of this face shape is to create the illusion of more width by adding fullness at the sides and having a smooth top with bangs of some sort. Curls and waves can also add width to your face and make it appear more oval.

Avoid extremely long, styles, straight sections of a length short layers that add volume to the crown area and styles without bangs as these will make your long face much more pronounced. Celebrities with long face shapes include: Hilary Swank and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Once you have determined the shape of your face, you will need to look for celebrity hair styles that are on celebrities with similar face shapes. Stay tuned for Part 2 of the best celebrity hair styles for your face.
