When choosing a haircut, you need to take into account the proportions of the face and the ideal as a goal to strive for. The ideal face shape is considered to be “oval” - this is a shape with a characteristic oblong shape, with an elongated vertical and smaller horizontal line.
In a round face, a vertical line is equivalent to a horizontal one, that is, in a haircut, to achieve the goal (ideal face shape), you need to extend the vertical line.
Accordingly, for a haircut it is necessary to use elements that will enhance these vertical lines.
Haircuts suitable for round face shapes
1. Gradation + layers for short lengths – this form of haircut using the gradation technique above the level of the cheekbones and using the layering technique in the parietal area. The gradation of the temples and the back of the head will create a plastic effect in the proportion of the face, thereby elongating the round shape, and the layers of the parietal zone will take away the emphasis and create lightness and mobility of the haircut shape.
2. Elongated bangs - this detail in the haircut will create a vertical or diagonal line of facial proportions. Such an element may not be connected to the main mass of hair, that is, the hair of the entire mass can be cut shorter or left longer, regardless of the elongated bangs.
3. Long Bob is a form of haircut that maintains the mass and length of the hair at the level of the middle of the neck or to the shoulders. The main feature is the length below the proportions of the face, which means that the face shape will be framed and create an oblong silhouette.
