Celebrity Hair Styles
Before you seriously consider cutting your hair just like one of your
favorite celebrities, you will need to start with your own face
shape. Just because you find a celebrity hair style that you like
does not mean that it will look good on you. You should put your clothes selection and hair style selection
into the same category. They need to be tailored to your look and
your likes. Just like someone with a thick waistline should not wear
the same clothes as someone with a small waistline, a hair style
needs to be designed to best suit your facial features and even your
body type.Many celebrity hair styles today have certain features to them,
such as long layers or bangs that can be incorporated into your hair
style. So, don’t throw away those celebrity hair style photos
because you don’t have the same face shape as the celebrity.To determine your face shape, pull all of your hair back into a
ponytail or clip. Stand in front of a mirror and trace the outline
of your face onto the mirror using something removable (i.e. a bar
of soap, washable marker, etc.). Next, stand back and look at the
shape that you drew. Does it look more oval, round, square, heart
shaped or oblong? It could be the combination of any of these
shapes.  There are 5 basic face shapes 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 ‘wannabe’ face shape, similar
to the hourglass body shape. Oval face shapes are highly desired and
envied. All other face shapes attempt to create the illusion of
having 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 Shape: A round face is as wide as it is long
with rounded edges. The nose is the center guide. In 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 will need height and volume.If you want your face to appear slimmer, make sure hair is
showing below the chin. Layers from the lips 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. One length
cuts tend to widen the face. Avoid short hair and volume at 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 it
is long and has strong angles. This face shape needs a hair style
with softness to lessen the effects of the angles.Long hair styles should fall past the shoulders, with
face-framing layers to soften the jaw line. Shorter styles should be
kept round and soft with height in the crown area. Wispy bangs are
great, as well as fluffy, wispy curls.Avoid one-length hair styles; especially chin length and
blunt-cut bangs. These styles will accentuate the square-ness of
your face shape. Celebrities with square face shapes include: Demi
Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Geena Davis.
Heart Face Shape: The heart-shaped face is wide in the eye
and cheekbone area with a narrow or pointy chin. Many heart-shaped
faces also have a high forehead.For long hair styles, add long, wavy layers around your
cheekbones that fall in the neck area. For shorter hair, add top
layers that are long and soft. Side-swept bangs are a great
technique to lessen 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 goal with 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, straight styles, one-length cuts, short
layers that add volume in 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.After you have determined your face shape, you will need to look
for celebrity hair styles that are on celebrities with similar face
shapes. Stay tuned for Part 2 of Best celebrity hair styles for your
face.
