Understanding Haircuts for Round and Oval Face Shapes

Welcome to this lesson on identifying and styling haircuts based on face shapes. In this session, we’ll explore how to create flattering hairstyles for round and oval face shapes to enhance their natural features.

Round Face Shape:

A round face has a circular appearance with equal width and height. To create a more defined look:
✔️ Opt for long layers with a center part to frame the face and soften the temples.
✔️ Creating sharp bobs can transform a round face into an oval illusion, adding structure and definition.
✔️ Avoid flat straight looks, as they can make the face appear wider. Instead, add volume for a more balanced shape.

Oval Face Shape:

An oval face has a balanced proportion with a soft jawline and forehead. It is the most versatile shape for haircuts:
✔️ Experiment with textured and edgy looks to add personality.
✔️ Curtain bangs or side-swept flicks can enhance the natural symmetry.
✔️ Multiple styles, including voluminous and structured looks, work well for oval faces.

🟠 Round Face: More circular, fuller cheeks, requires elongation techniques.
🔵 Oval Face: Naturally balanced, can carry multiple looks, soft jawline.

By understanding these face shapes, you can choose the best hairstyle to enhance facial features and create a more flattering look!
