How to choose the right haircut for an elongated face?

Many consider the thin, long face to be the standard of femininity. Indeed, girls with such an oval face often have neat aristocratic features. But if you have a desire to adjust the form, then you need to familiarize yourself with some recommendations.

Everyone knows that the hair can change the appearance beyond recognition. We use this “tool” to adjust the elongated shape of the oval.

An elongated type of face is often confused with an oval. The oval shape is considered an ideal feminine form, its owners can afford a variety of hairstyles.

There are several distinctive features of an elongated face.

• The ratio of length to width is greater than or equal to 1.5. To do this, simply measure the length of the face from the hairline to the chin, and make measurements of the cheekbones horizontally. The numerical value of the length divided by the width.
• High cheekbones.
• Narrow little chin.
• High broad forehead.

Typically, these nuances do not take into account when selecting a hair, still the main task remains - to make the shape of the face as close as possible to the oval.

If you find out that you are the owner of an elongated face, then read some rules for choosing hairstyles.

Girls with thin and narrow face should avoid volume at the top of the head, do not do bouffant at the roots. High tails and bunches also need to be eliminated, these hairstyles add volume to the top, making the face even longer.

Straight, smoothly styled hair does not fit the girls with such an oval, this hairstyle will visually stretch the face vertically, which will only draw attention to the unbalanced form. The main task is to make the face wider in place of the cheekbones. Proper styling will make the face more harmonious.

Today, stylists and hairdressers offer many interesting hairstyles and haircuts. It is important to take into account not only fashion and trends, but also the features of the proportions of the face, in our case it is a narrow oval shape.

For each length of hair masters recommend a particular hairstyle. Consider the possible options that will help change the shape of the face for the better.

Remember, your best assistant in adjusting the shape of your face is volume.

Haircut "bob" has long become a classic version of the hairstyle for short hair. For girls with elongated face, you can safely do this hairstyle. On the back of the head strands are shorter, it allows you to achieve the desired volume. Gradually the length of the hair strands from the neck to the face increases.

With a haircut "page" will not work experiment, curls and curls will look inappropriate. Asymmetrical "bob" in recent times is popular. Girls with an elongated oval can wear it, but at the same time styling is required, the hair should not be strictly straight and volumeless.

Kare is distinguished by a variety of forms, therefore, any girl can choose a suitable haircut for her.Hairstyles options: with lengthening, graduated haircut, double "square", "square" on the leg. The main thing is that haircut "square" visually makes the hair thicker and more magnificent. Volume - a prerequisite when choosing hairstyles for a narrow face.

"Page" - a beautiful retro. Despite the fact that the length of hair is very short, the hairstyle is considered very feminine. It softens the lines of the chin and opens a thin, delicate neck. "Page" closes the broad forehead, rounds the oval of the face, this is what a girl with an elongated shape needs.

"Ladder" or "cascade" perfectly complement the image. The main difference between these hairstyles is that the curls at the "ladder" gradually move from one length to another, and at the "cascade" more ragged strands are made. Styling is necessary for these haircuts, but in any case, do not leave the hair straight.

"Cascade" is more difficult to lay, but it adds more volume than the "ladder". Masters advise to make a side parting, straight makes the face even longer. Filirovka for such haircuts is required, it helps to model the hairstyle and give it a natural look. It is more difficult to care for medium-length hair, it is much more difficult to style it, special styling products (foams, gels, sprays, varnishes) will help to cope with this task.

Many believe that long hair is not at all suitable for women with high forehead. This is a misconception. The only thing that should be avoided is a straight silhouette, strict straight strands emphasize this feature of the face. Long hair will have to be supplemented with bangs, the face can be trimmed with curls in layers, this will visually add volume to the cheekbones. Owners of long hair can experiment with hairstyles, there are many styling. You can afford to make a medium helix, zigzag curls, perm, light waves and spectacular large curls. On short hair, not every curl can be done.

Thin hair is a very common problem. Many girls have thin hair due to heredity, but often they may become weaker due to malfunctions in the body or improper care.

Prerequisite hairstyles for the elongated face is the volume.

Consider how to give your hair pomp, if they are thin, as well as learn little tricks that will help solve this problem.

• Multi-layer haircut. It can be a geometric “rvanka”, the same “cascade” or a “ladder”.
• Make highlighting. Responsibly approach the choice of the master, because it is very easy to spoil thin hair with low-quality coloring and lightening agents. Zonal highlighting is considered to be gentle, only the upper strands are lightened, and the lower hair is slightly tinted.

• Extension will add volume to rare hair, the effect will be noticeable immediately after the wizard. Capsule extension looks the most aesthetic. Keratin capsules, with the help of which additional strands are attached, remain practically invisible.
• Lamination gives the hair not only shine, but also extra thickness. The procedure will have to be repeated several times, with each visit to the master the effect of density will be more noticeable to the eye.
• Layers and volume to thin hair will help foam and varnishes. They will help fix the hairstyle and keep it until the end of the day. It is better to use large round combs, they are ideal for styling. Do not use the iron or curling iron too often, with constant use of these devices make the hair dry and brittle.

When we chose haircuts for different lengths of hair, we said that the bangs are an indispensable element of the hairstyle for an elongated face.

Indeed, thick straight bangs, rounding bangs of the arched type, and oblique elongated will be suitable for an elongated face.

As for the styling of this element of hair, then you need to understand that it is not always very voluminous bangs would be appropriate to look. Lush bangs perfectly complement the "square", but with hair that is shorter than shoulder length, it will not look good. Pay attention to similar details.

Correctly picked up parting is a great way to correct the shape of the face.

But if you make curly curls to the direct part, then this hairstyle will look harmonious. Volume curls will make the face a little wider, which is what is required.

Diagonal parting - what you need for thin and sparse hair. It will add volume, and if you use special styling products, your hair will appear thick and lush. This element of hairstyle is most suitable for girls with long hair.

The side parting is ideal for an elongated face, a slight asymmetry will smooth out the elongated silhouette. But a deep parting does not suit this form of face at all, so try not to use it.

Zigzag parting looks very interesting, but now zigzag is not in fashion. If you are not guided by the opinions of stylists, then try to make such an interesting parting. It will add volume.

For any shape of the face, it is important to periodically change the position of the parting, otherwise, over time, to put hair in another way will not work. And also the observance of the same parting leads to thinning of the hair along the line (the parting becomes wider).

Curls look very feminine, but when choosing a hairstyle you need to be careful. Often girls with an elongated oval face, winding curls, create a volume at the back of the head, it focuses attention on the features of your face. Therefore, do not add volume to the hair roots, curl curls can be starting from the cheekbones. This will draw attention to the facial features, namely to the eyes, and distract from the high forehead.

It was said above that high beams and tails will have to be abandoned. But bunches and tails can be made at medium height, the main thing is to straighten the front strands so that they cover the sides of the face and ears a little. These strands can be curled a little, the image will be more gentle. By the same principle you can braid the braids, but do not forget about the strands of the face.

Care, of course, depends on the structure of the hair. But for such a face contour, volume is important, therefore let's talk about how to make a hairy fluffy, and how to use care products.

• Wash your head properly. Thoroughly rinse only the roots, and just spread the foam along the length. The tips are the most damaged and fragile area of ​​the hair, so it’s not at all necessary to rub the ends. Balsams and masks, on the contrary, apply over the entire length, but do not smear the roots. They can become fat, sleek and volumeless.
• To add volume, you can dry your hair a little before styling by tilting your head. Direct air from the roots to the tips.
• Get special shampoos, giving volume to hair.

• Popular methods are also very effective. In addition, they help to create the effect of fluffiness, with the help of them hair is healed. Yeast gives volume, so you can rinse hair with kvass or kefir.
• Massage. At least once a week, massage the scalp, blood circulation increases, and more beneficial substances are supplied to the bulbs. As a result, the hair becomes stronger, thicker and thicker. Massage is best done with jojoba oil.
