Bridal hairstyle: how to style it according to your face shape
Some makeup styles, especially a bridal hairstyle, often fit the brides as if they are made for each other only. In some situations, you can see the reverse. Although everything is super perfect, a fashionable hairstyle is not getting in harmony with the bridal makeup. Have you ever thought about why it happens? According to style experts, this is the mismatch chemistry between the bridal hairdo and the face shape of the bride.
Yes, it’s true! It may read weird, but the shape of the face plays a critical role in choosing the right bridal hairstyle. It is apt to say that you don’t select a makeup style, but the style picks you, and the rule prevails for a bridal hair makeover.
“So there is the best bridal hairstyle already selected for you, you have nothing to worry about,” says star hair artist George Northwood. He further suggests that your task is to determine your face shape, and finding the best bridal hairstyle will be as easy as a-b-c for you.
Usually, we classify human faces into five shapes: oval, round, heart, square, and diamond. Now let’s discuss how to make the best of these shapes with a chosen hairstyle on the special day of the wedding.
When you have an oval-shaped face
The specialty of an oval face is a larger forehead and a prominent chin, and these faces have a general tendency to look longer than usual. The primary objective of a bridal hairdo is to balance the discrepancy in length and width of your face: therefore, the bridal hairstyles with height may not be suitable for your best makeover.
Don’ts:
- Never do central parting.
- Don’t stick your hair at the side.
- Don’t select a hairstyle on an elaborate hairdo.
Different types of braids, and especially half up and down hairstyles with fringed bangs, will be the best choice for you. Don’t forget to add some adornments in your hairstyle, which will add some added width in your facial contour.
When you have a round face shape
The plus point of a round-shaped face is the beautiful cheeks, which are called “cherubim-like cheeks.” However, everything has a minimum downside. The downside of a round face is its lack of height. You have to create a hairstyle that will create some extra height in your facial shape, which you can do by keeping your hair down in a loose way to add a frame. Creating a bit around the face will look excellent for your round face.
Select a hairstyle that will add texture and bounce, which will slim down your face–shape by adding a note of variance, and it will break the symmetry of the round shape nicely.
Don’ts
- Don’t go for a fringe style, which will add a smaller and round look.
- Straight and sleek hairstyles will not match the roundness of your face. Avoid these bridal hairstyles.
- Don’t go for a bridal hairdo that is too flat.
Always go for a hairstyle that will allow you to keep a piece of untucked hair on one side of your face. Select the hairdos, which are loose textured and voluminous, to impose a natural balance in the roundness of your face shape.
When you have a heart-shaped face
A heart-shaped face is a blessing because it is a versatile shape that goes well with almost all bridal hairstyles. You have to emphasize the soft facial angles that God has created for you and chose a hairstyle that will accentuate your cheekbones.
Don’ts
- Do not go for a hairstyle, which will add height in your bridal look.
- The hairstyles that are too slicked back will not help you to highlight your jawline, and you may lose the beautiful soft sharpness of your face.
Try the fringe hairdo. It will look especially good on your face. Never go for a middle parting style. Instead side parting will look better on you. Choose a hairstyle accordingly.
When you have a square-shaped face
Beauty specialists claim that square facial shapes are always unique with their powerful angular jawline. However, they need some softness added and that precisely the hairstyle should do for these shapes. So the challenge is to find the bridal hairdos, which can add some extra dose of softness to these bold and beautiful brides.
Don’ts
- Never try the tight hairstyles: this will pull focus toward the wide jawline.
- Don’t ever say no to waves: you should look for more texture.
- Do not go for middle parting: side parting is the best option for you.
Do not prefer the sleeked back hairstyles. Gorgeous hairstyles are the strict ‘NO’ for you. Soft waves and straight hair will look excellent on you. Choose your hairstyle accordingly.
When you have a diamond-shaped face
You are a hybrid beauty, and your face has the elements of square and heart shapes simultaneously. Your cheekbones are wide, your jawline and forehead are of the same length. You must not g for edgy or hard hairstyles because you have to create more softness to accentuate your bridal charm.
Don’ts
- Don’t prefer a hairstyle that takes all hair tied back.
- Don’t let go of the focus from your beautiful face shape.
- Avoid side parting: middle parting will look better for you.
Choose the hairstyles that accentuate your cheekbones and can help you in creating a jawline balancing look. You may opt for the bridal hairdos that will allow you to keep your hair down. More softness will be added to your look, more mesmerizing will be your bridal makeover.
This is all about the handy clues of choosing the right bridal hairstyles according to your facial shape. It is easy and fascinating because you always want to bring the best out of you, no matter if it is an ordinary day or your big day. Knowing your face will make your wish easy to achieve.
You have to understand what is your facial shape is. Once you have understood the right contour of your face, finding a fashionable hairstyle according to your face–shape will not be a problem for you.
