Know Your Face Shape-To Find Your Most Flattering Looks

  We are hard-wired, for survival, to recognize faces from the moment we can see. When we're older, even if we don't remember a name we may recognize the face of someone we've met before.
Since others spend so much time looking at our face it makes sense to present it in the best light possible!
When you know your face shape you can choose your most flattering hairstyles, hats, eyeglasses, sunglasses and earrings.
1.Determining Your Face Shape
There are a few approaches to this. You will need...
A mirror large enough to see your whole face
It may help to have a photo of your face. Pull your hair back away from your face and make sure the photo is taken square-on to your face, so you can see both sides. If you're taking the photo yourself, for example with a cell phone camera, make sure the camera is far enough away that you don't get a distorted, fish-eye effect!
Or, it may help to draw the outline of your face, with your hair held away from your face, on the mirror (make sure whatever you use -- for example, whiteboard marker, eye-liner pencil, lipstick -- will wipe off later!)
Ok, now you're ready to find the shape of your face by answering the questions below...
I hope I've structured this questionnaire to make it as easy as possible for you to find your face shape. If you have any difficulty using this format please contact me and let me know what is confusing.
You may discover it's not as easy as you'd think to categorize the shape ofyour face. Each of us has a unique face length-width ratio, jaw, jaw-line and front-on outline. So it's not always a cut-and-dry decision as to which face shape category to choose.
For example, if your face length is definitely longer than wide and you have a broad, square jaw-line then, using the questionnaire above, you will come out as a rectangle. However, if, when looking at your front-on outline (the sides of your face), your jaw is the widest part of your face the triangle category may be a better choice for you. It will depend how definitely your face is longer than wide, do you see your face length first? Or is your jaw more obvious than your face length? Another approach is to combine the recommendations for both shapes.
If, after doing the questionnaire above and looking at the pictures below you're still having trouble determining your face shape ask me to tell you your face shape here.

Shiny healthy hair

If you have shiny healthy hair then you might not be interested in reading this because this post is all about how you can keep your hair shiny and healthy. So the first thing that is really important is to choose the right shampoo! if you have sensitive hair make sure you pick a shampoo that is for sensitive hair or if you have coloured hair just pick one that is for coloured hair so keep that in mind don't just pick any shampoo you see, just take your time and think about it!

* Buy a conditioner and a shampoo that have the same brand for example a l'oreal shampoo and a Tresemme conditioner because it just won't work if you look at the back of any shampoo or conditioner it will say that it works better if you use the shampoo or conditioner from the same brand so make sure you do that.

* Use a hair protector! Never ever straighten or curl your hair without a hair protector its very important to use one because it protects your hair from deteriorating and it won't burn it so make sure you buy one if you really want straight or curly hair.

* Wash your hair regularly this is good for your hair because it keeps it clean and smooth but don't wash it too often either you must wash it about 4-5 times a week because if you was your hair everyday it will make-it weaker and less smoother.

* My opinion about the shampoos you should be using. Now I'm going to be honest with you guys about 3 weeks ago i run out of shampoo ( i used to use l'oreal Elvive shampoo and conditioner) so i took my baby brother's shampoo which is the Johnson's baby shampoo with aloe Vera and after i dried my hair i was so surprised my hair felt so so so so soft and it was also shinier ! It was the first time i tried it and i saw the results from the first try so i definitely recommend that shampoo its just amazing!

Celebrity hairs easily

The heart-shaped face is wide in the eye and cheekbone area with a narrow or pointy chin. Many heart-shaped faces also have a high fore head. For long hair styles, add long, wavy layers around your cheekbones that fall in the neck area. For shorter hair, add top layers that are long and soft. Avoid blunt-cut bangs, short hair, ponytails and choppy layers. Subtle layering is much more flattering. Side-swept bangs are a great technique to lessen the width and height of the forehead area. Celebrities with Heart Shaped Face include: Brittany Murphy, Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson.

Square Face Shape: The square face shape is as wide as it is long and has strong angles. This face shape needs a hair style with softness to lessen the effects of the angles. Long hair styles should fall past the shoulders, with face-framing layers to soften the jaw line. Shorter styles should be kept round and soft with height in the crown area. Wispy bangs are great, as well as fluffy, wispy curls. Avoid one-length hair styles; especially chin length and blunt-cut bangs. These styles will accentuate the squareness of your face shape. Celebrities with square face shapes include: Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Geena Davis.

Round Face Shape: A round face is as wide as it is long with rounded edges. The nose is the center guide. In trying to maintain the appearance of an oval face shape, hair for round face shapes should be kept close to the sides of the face, while the crown will need height and volume. If you want your face to appear slimmer, make sure hair is showing below the chin. Layers from the lips down remove bulk and weight from the sides. Tapered ends will draw attention away from the roundness by allowing hair to fall close to the head. One length cuts tend to widen the face.

Avoid short hair and volume at the sides. Celebrities with round face shapes: Cameron Diaz, Kyra Sedgwick and Penelope Cruz.
