How do you know if your hairstyle is as flattering as it can possibly be? How many times have you wanted to try a different haircut but weren’t up to the risk? Read on for a fool-proof hair style formula:

· Determine your face shape: in a mirror, pull your hair back and/or put it in a head band. It’s important to make sure your bangs are off your face.

· Trace the outline of your face with a bar of soap and then stand back to see what shape it most closely resembles – that’s your face shape.

· Finally, find a celebrity that has your face shape and if the hairstyle looks good on her, it’ll look just as good on you!

There are essentially 5 different face shapes: Oval, Heart, Round, Square and Rectangle.

Oval – This is most balanced face with the cheekbones being the widest part of the face. The forehead and chin both narrow to graceful points. The oval is usually seen on those with small bone structure. They can wear any glasses frame or any hairstyle however proportion is very important. Glasses frames or hair that is too big will overwhelm the face.

*This face shape has the ability to wear drastic lengths and it does not age them.
