Continuing from my post about face shapes I wanted to talk a little more about suitability in facial features and body shapes – 2 other important considerations to take into account when deciding on hairstyles.
Strong Facial Features:
Below are just a few ‘more extreme’ samples of how important features are when choosing hairstyles, the more experience the stylist is the more they can automatically access facial features as soon as they see the client.
(just in case you cant see the text very well, here they are again.)
- Long fringes can accentuate a bigger nose.
- A ‘Nefertiti’ style would accentuate a long chin.
- A short style, particularly around the ears, will bring them out more.
- A style with horizontal lines will not do justice for someone with a wide neck or double chins.
- A short fringe will accentuate a protruding forehead.
- A flat face is made flatter if the style is worked straight up from the hairline.
Height and Body Shapes:
These also make a difference to your choice of hairstyles. It is important for the stylist to see the client before she sits down so that you can take note of her body proportion.
If a tall, thin person had a hairstyle which is very short and close to the head, or very long hair that is straight and flat, then the body length will be accentuated more, whereas if the style had more width, the stream-line would be broken giving an overall better body proportion.
