How To Part Your Hair For Your Face Shape

Quickly change up your look by parting your hair differently. Most of us part our hair the same way every day, or you may opt not to part your hair at all. You may not have even realized that your new makeover is just a side part away. Now how’s that for instant gratifying transformation!

Heart-Shaped

Heart-shaped faces have wider cheeks and a middle part complements your face, but only when your hair is long. Layers and short hair will make a middle part not as flattering.This is because the cropped fringe creates a focus around the wideness of the face. A side part also is flattering, as it covers the larger forehead and cheek area, and makes the face look thinner.

Circle

A deep side part will showcase your best features. It’s up to you to decide which is your better side to display. Round faces need a curtain of hair to lengthen the shape and balance out your features.

Square

The rigidness of a squared face can be softened by a a deep side part that starts directly above the arch in your eyebrows. Long layers also create an illusion of a rounded oval face by falling in a way that hides the harsh angles.

Oval

I hate to say it, but if there was a favorable shape for the face this would be it! Oval faces can pull off just about any part, on any side, with any style hair. The best part about this shape is that you can experiment and change your look up consistently with no problem!
