“Your hairstyle can make or break your look.”
While some of us do take this tip seriously, many of us don’t. Indian girls take a lot of pride in our long, black tresses. We love them. We have grown up with our maasi’s and chachi’s telling us the divine connection between our long, flowing tresses and beauty. So, make no mistake ladies – long bouncy hair is fabulous but a change in your hairstyle makes a lot of difference to your look! But before we move on to the different Indian haristyles available to you, let’s first focus in determining your face shape.

The outline will give you an accurate shape of your face. It could be any one of the following face shapes from round, diamond, oval, square and heart.
Now that we have determined your face shape, let’s move on to the different types of hairstyles for face shapes.
Hairstyles for Round Face: Determined with a large and curved forehead and a rounded chin, the round face shape looks great with hairstyles that have fullness at the head which makes your face appear longer. For girls who love their length, you can opt for a layered look which will look perfect. If you want something short, try side-swept fringe with fullness at your crown which adds volume and makes your face shape appear oval. Avoid chin length hair as it will accentuate the wideness of your face. Apart from a few layers in the front, keep the rest of the hair in one length to give yourself a longer and elongated look.

Hairstyles for Square Face: Determined with a straight hairline and a square jaw, the biggest challenge for you will be adding length and softening the strong jawline of your face. Opt for styles that focus on your cheek bones with fringes and bangs that hide your straight hairline. Similar to round faces, opt for fullness at the crown which will elongate your face and make it look more oval.

Hairstyles for Heart Face: Determined with a wide forehead and a very narrow chin line, try and focus on making the width of your forehead look narrow and widening the lower part of your face. The best hairstyle for you is the chin length bob which will compliment your face shape immensely by decreasing the wideness of the forehead and focusing on the increasing the fullness of your narrow chin. Avoid parting your hair in the middle. Side- parted hairstyles are your new best friend.
