Selecting the right hairstyle has a lot to do with one’s shape of face. If you neglect this feature and wear whatever hairstyle you like, you will probably end up with a hairstyle that doesn’t look good on you. To make sure you select the perfect hairstyle for you, read on for some helpful guidelines.
First, look at yourself on the mirror, pull your hair back and see what type of shape your face has. Is it very round or oval? Square-ish or long rectangular? Triangular or heart-shaped? Once you know the shape of your face, you can refer to the list below to see what cut and style of hair is best for you.
For a very round face, you can have shorter or longer hair than chin length. Don’t create volume on the sides as this will make your round face fuller. It is also better to part your hair on the side and not at the center.
For an oval face, you are blessed to have any hairstyle you like. You can cut your hair short, medium or long, with or without bangs, layered or not. It will always look nice on you.
For a square-ish face, keep your hair above or below the jaw line. You can also soften a square face by having face-framing layers or curls.

QUICK STYLING TIPS, FOR COOL SUMMER HAIR
QUICK STYLING TIPS, FOR COOL SUMMER HAIR
There are many hair styling tips which will allow you to make your hair styling session safer and more efficient. By changing a few simply aspects of your morning hair-styling routine, you can make your hair look healthier as well as make your morning run a bit more smoothly.
1. Using a nozzle with your hairdryer can be particularly effective in allowing you to blow dry your hair more smoothly and effectively. The best part about nozzles and diffusers is that they can be used to blow dry any type of hair- curly, wavy or straight!
2. Make sure your hair is dry. If you are using a flat iron or curling iron, you will want to make absolutely positive that you hair is completely dry. If you try to apply a heating iron to wet hair, you will run the risk of severely damaging or burning your hair. Even if a small piece of your hair is only moderately damp, you best option is not to risk it.
3. Run you flat iron all the way through your hair. If you continuously start and stop while running a flat iron through your hair, you can cause damage and dryness to your locks. Additionally, your hairstyle won’t look as good because leaving a flat iron in one spot for too long can cause dents.
4. Lastly, when using a curling iron, make sure that the tip of your hair is tucked along with the curler. Otherwise, you will find that your hair dents near the ends.
HAIRSTYLES WITH SHORTER BANGS FOR SUMMER
HAIRSTYLES WITH SHORTER BANGS FOR SUMMER
I don’t know why, but bangs are often a fussy, touchy subject for women. If I hear one more woman say to me “I need my bangs cut,” “I hate my bangs,” or even “Where are your bangs?” I just might go on a rampage.
We can never seem to make up our minds about this part of our hair. If it gets too long, we want it clipped; if they’re too short, we want to grow it out. If they get boring, we have them cut in a style, and then we regret it three days later when we realize we’d rather have bangs like the girl in the picture who’s probably wearing a wig. And then there are some of us who just refuse to cut our bangs at all, bringing back fond memories of Captain Caveman.
All joking aside, a hairstyle with shorter bangs is probably only for women who are comfortable enough to keep them short. Pixie cuts have shorter bangs, as do shorter versions of a shag haircut. An A-line cut and even a bob may have short bangs as well, though it truly depends on your stylist and you as to what length you want them. Most hairstyles with shorter bangs either frame the face or are used to bring more attraction to the eyes and other features. Wearing a hairstyle with short bangs is also a sign of confidence, as it will be almost impossible to pull off the look if your forehead is the size of a plasma television.
