Hairdressers have several tricks in their back pockets that can be used to slip or accentuate faces with cuts and colors. In addition to the personality, the shape of the face also affects what is the most flattering Hairstyle.
– All face shapes are unique. The basic shapes are oval, long, round, square, triangular and heart. They all have their own means, depending on whether you want to fade or emphasize something, a hair stylist Piatu Puhakka says.
He says that the faces of many Finns are a mixture of these basic patterns.
– For example, square and roundness are often seen together. Really rarely does anyone even have a clear eyebrow. There have been a little more of my purely round-faced clients.
According to Puhakka, volume is important in any form of face for the whole. The shape of the face determines where the abundance and lines are worth cutting.
– The basic rule is that the soft lines work harder and the harder ones round, he continues.

Irregularity is suitable for round faces
Puhakka advises that a round-faced person should look for the opposite in haircut.
– Any irregularity breaks roundness. If there are round lines on the face, then the flat sides kind of narrow the roundness.
If you want to emphasize roundness instead, then you should spread the hairstyle on the side.
The line of the face can also be broken with one-sidedness.
If you have an oval face, you’re lucky, because according to Puhakka, they actually have any kind of surgery.
– It may not be worthwhile to build a terrible volume on the site, he adds.
You can also use a flattering hairstyle at home. Upward-looking hairstyles, such as a tall ponytail, work on the round face. According to Puhakka, a one-sided hairstyle or neck curve with a side split is also a great choice.

Softness works for the square
For square faces Puhakka recommends wavy hairstyles.
– Softness such as gentle curls and elasticity break the clear line of the face.
The one-sidedness also works for a square face, he says, as it softens the clear line of the face. For example, a side division can work on a square face.
For angular faces Puhakka recommends one-sidedness and flexibility for home hairstyles. High hairstyles also flatter square faces.
– It is nice for an angled face if something falls from the sides to the cheeks. It softens the square if you want to fade it. The tight knot looks great if you want to emphasize your face or even look hard. After all, it’s up to the person in the end!

The bangs flatter the long face
According to Puhakka, the lines that cut the face work for long-faced people.
– When the face is long, the hair style can lower it. Then the goal is to get width. Bangs are the best way to do that. It stops the length of the face, Puhakka says.
A long-faced person should prefer low hairstyles such as neck curls.
– It is still worth leaving the hair on the forehead to cut the length.

Triangular width for the temples
The triangular face widens downward.
– The heaviest point is often in the chin-cheek line. Then it is flattering to shape the face to build volume above the temples.
Puhakka, however, points out that abundance on the head is not the goal. According to him, the shape line should narrow downwards.
– The richness and volume of the side and top create balance and make the face look lighter.
– Side splitting works super well! Pooh tips.

Color also matters
Those looking for a slimmer impression should also consider their hair color.
– Light shades round the face a bit. The brightness makes the border between the face and the hair fuzzy. If a person with blond hair is looked at from afar, then the shape of the face disappears.
A darker color against the face brings out the face better and makes them a clear frame.
– Dark colors slim down the face.
Puhakka advises that you should feel free to ask your hairdresser for flattering hair.
– You can hope for a hairstyle that makes your face look softer, or even ask for an attitude. Hairdressers do control the means, Puhakka promises.
