Selection of haircut according to hair texture and Facial

shape

hair texture
• Straight hair: Straight hair tends to fall out and may lack density. Consider layered cuts or styles with texture
to add dynamism and dimension. Pixie cuts, blunt bobs or long layers can work well.
• Wavy Hair: Wavy hair has a natural texture that adds volume and body. Consider styles that enhance the
natural wave, like beach waves, layered cuts, or long, loose curls.

• Curly Hair: Curly hair benefits from styles that embrace and define the curls. Layered cuts, curly bobs or
shoulder-length cuts can enhance the natural beauty of curly hair.
• Coily Hair: Coily hair may require styles that manage shrinkage and emphasize the unique curl pattern.
Tapered cut, afros, or protective styles like twists can work well.
Facial shape:
Round Face: Round faces benefit from hairstyles that add height and elongate the face. Consider layered cuts,
side-swept bangs or asymmetrical styles to create the illusion of length.
Oval Face: Oval faces are versatile and can create a variety of hairstyles. Many styles, from short pixie cuts to
long waves, complement oval face shapes.
Square Face: Square faces benefit from hairstyles that soften angular features. Textured bobs, layered cuts or
side-swept bangs can add a girly touch.

Heart-shaped face: Heart-shaped faces look great with styles that balance the forehead and jaw line. Chin-
length bobs, side-swept bangs or layered cuts can complement this face shape.
Diamond Face: Diamond faces can embrace a variety of styles, but it’s essential to avoid adding too much
volume on top. Consider layered cuts, side-swept bangs or styles that balance the width of the forehead and jaw.
