Remember your head is not testing ground to just venture into experimenting with any haircut according to your whims and fancies.

How to determine the right haircut?
You may be impressed with the haircut of a friend of yours and would want to try the same one for yourself. Wait! Do not make your locks a victim of your scissors before understanding the shape of your face is. Here are some tips to ensure the correct haircut to suit your face.

Long face:
To de-emphasize the length of your face go in for haircuts that would seem to increase the width of the face. Long bangs that are side swept would impart a modern look. Chin length cuts and bobs would aid in increasing the width. Avoid hairstyles that are too long or cuts that are too short .If you prefer too long a style have it cut short in the front around the face in layers. Fringes and short bangs at the top of the head would only make your face look lengthier.

Oval face:
You are really lucky if you possess an oval face as you can flaunt your looks with short, long, straight or wavy hair style or any hair cut of your choice as the shape of your face allows you to do so. Your hair cut in layers, up to your cheekbone, lips or your chin; whatever feature you wish to be prominent would be flattering. A hairstyle combed backwards away from the forehead would be dashing. Avoid short blunt cuts if your hair is thick and curly. This could shape up your face to a triangle. Keep away from haircuts or styles that add height to the top of your head like spiky fringes.

Round face:
This shape has fullness at or below the cheekbones. Hence you have to choose a hair style that would down play the roundness of your face. It could be done by increasing the volume or lifting the hair at the top of the head or the crown to give it an oval shape. Hair cut in shabby layers would help to reduce the roundness. If you prefer a shorter cut the best style is the pixie with wisps around your face and on your forehead. The wisps towards the cheek would play down your cheeks. Avoid a style that would fall up to your chin that would only emphasize the roundness.

Square face:
The width of the jaw line, forehead and the cheekbones are almost the same revealing a square shaped face. It is important to play down the angular jaw. Curly and wavy hairstyles are ideal for this shape. Wispy layers or long bangs swept sideways look would look great for shape. Chin length cuts and blunt bangs are sure to be avoided.

Heart shaped face :
This kind of a shape is wider at the top and declines to a small delicate chin. So a person with a face of this shape has to choose a haircut or a bob that could add width around the chin. Side parted hair swept sideways would compliment this face shape. Blunt bangs and chipped chopped layers are to be kept at bay.So go for a hairstyle that suits you the best.
