Why is it always the teen that comes looking for the latest funky trendy hairstyle before that of the older woman? Most women in their prime for some unknown reason seem to think that funky stylish hair dos are for the younger generation because they suit them best. What a load of poppycock and best you have a re-think on the matter. In regards to age there are no limitations on what style you can have. When It comes to choosing a hairstyle it`s about choice and personal preference. Nevertheless there is an issue of importance that should not be overlooked, and that is to know what type of face shape you have. For hair to look good and your face better then you need to determine your face shape before having your hair cut or styled. Hairstyles are determined by face shapes and not age. Remember you`re as old as you feel, and it is said that life begins at 40, so why not spice up those years ahead and have yourself a teen trendy stylish hairstyle.
Most mistakes are made in choosing the right hairstyle because women don`t know how to determine the shape of their face. It is not difficult to find out. You are only dealing with 6 simple face shapes: oval, round, square, heart, rectangular and diamond.
It is vital to know of these before a choice in style is made. Right choices accentuate facial features resulting in you looking more beautiful. Below is a "guide" to help you find out your face shape before making that crucial decision (if the latest teen stylish trendy hairstyle is for you,) and not your "age."
- You will need a measuring tape and nothing more to do this.
- Measure across the top of your cheekbones and write the size down.
- Do the jaw line from where it begins to where it ends.
- Measure your forehead from the center of your hairline and brows.
- And then measure the length from the hairline to the bottom of the chin.
An oval shape presents itself as well balanced as it does with your features also - a tapered forehead, broad cheekbones and a little chin. If you`re fortunate to have an oval shaped face then any hairstyle will suit the shape (long short, straight or curly.)
Oval Style Advice
The Angular bob hairstyle should be considered for the oval shape.
Oblong/Long shaped face. We have a lot of miserable women who ask if they can do something to alter the shape of the oblong appearance because they are extremely unhappy. What we try to do before they contemplate surgery, we give them a new hairstyle to suit the shape, and then matters change dramatically for the once sullen woman. What happens in most cases is women wear their hair the wrong way, and therefore there is nothing to bring out the best in them and their features. Most of the time ladies think it`s the actual shape of their face that`s the problem, when it`s not.
If you have an "Oblong" shaped face – then the width of the forehead is about the same as just below the cheekbones. The oblong face is long and usually the forehead is quite high. Although there are several styles to suit the long face, it is crucial that some particular hairstyles should all have volume to thwart the face from being dragged down. Full bangs work well with this shape.
Oblong Style Advice
Whether a style is trendy and stylish, still be cautious as some long hairstyles can be damaging to facial appearance. Long layers look good with pieces touching at the nose, the chin and the collarbone. The more ideal style is the v-shaped where the length is chiefly in the back, while the sides and front of your hair appear shorter. Add waves or curls to excite up the style.
I always remember when growing up, mum would say how I would suit my hair short because I had a round face. Did I take her advice, no, you know how it is with teens. The fringe I wore reached my shoulders but always neatly combed over my eyes, hampering my vision, but did I care, no. I look back now and cringe at the sheer thought, how mum was right, and how stupid I must have looked. You still have to be careful with certain short hairstyles even with a round face.
If you have a "Round" shaped face - then the broadest point at the cheeks and ears which is clearly rounded around the chin and hairline. Popular styles for roundness is short cropped hairstyles. The crop tends to give the face more definition. Or you could opt for bangs swept to the side. Feathered or layered hairstyles work wonders for the round shaped face.
Round Style Advice
Gentle waves avert roundness. But be careful with curls. Extensive curling or flat hair styles can highlight roundness. Wispy ends are more suitable than blunt, one-length ends, which tend to broaden the face.
If you have a "Square" shaped face - then it means the jaw line and the hairline are square. No this doesn`t make you a square head so diminish that thought. A wide forehead and a strong jaw-line normally govern over everything else, so go for long wispy layers or soft waves to thin down the broad areas; this also assists in balancing the face.
Square Style Advice
To play down a prominent angular jaw consider curls Texture, in the shape of curls or choppy ends, are excellent. Another style that works for the square face are short, spiky cuts and long, silky styles with layers that start at the jaw-line and follow down. One-length bobs that level with the chin and blunt-cut bangs are not a good choice.
If you have a "Heart" shaped face – then you will notice it is much akin to oval, but this face shape's bone structure tapers and has a chin that's distinct and pointed. Hairstyles like bangs are not best suited for this specific face shape. The way to balance small jaw lines is to go for styles that are fuller at the ends to broaden the chin and jawbone.
Heart Style Advice
If you opt for a short hairstyle - keep top layers soft, and if you want to keep the hair long then go for long layers that graze your cheekbones. Short, blunt-cut bangs and severe choppy layers are not ideal.
If you have a "Triangular" shaped face – then it displays a dominant jaw line that tapers towards the cheekbones and temples. Hairstyles that work ideally for this shape that helps balance out the evident jaw should include several layers to give fullness through the upper part of your face. Volume at the crown, off middle parts, wedges and shags are absolutely fabulous for making changes to the face making it more pretty and appealing.
If you have a "Diamond" shaped face – then it is explained as the face being an equal width around the jaw line and forehead, and wide cheekbones. The diamond is a cross between the heart and the oval. A bit of variety in this shape, and suits a multitude of different hairstyles so not really limited to particular hair dos. Bangs shorten the face and soften the pointed forehead. To highlight your bone structure then you should tuck your hair behind the ears to achieve this.
Speaking on the matter about stylish trendy teen hairstyles and you being old, well you know what I mean; there are of course some limitations as to how far you should go to look good. Fair enough I did say you shouldn`t let age stand in your way of having a chic funky stylish hair do, but if you collect your pension then I retract what I said if it is the blue Mohican strip, or Rastafarian dreadlocks you await to be styled. I suppose these types of hairstyle do have their perks because it`s a sure way to draw attention away from wrinkles.
