Koreans usually have stubbornly straight type 1 hair and they rely on layers to add depth and dimension to their tresses. There are many ways in which you can get similar Korean hair layers.

Jessica Noonan, a hair stylist, says, “Razor haircutting is a versatile and effective way to add texture and personality to straight hair, and can be a great option for anyone looking to switch up their style. This technique is particularly effective for straight hair, as it can help to add volume, movement, and dimension to otherwise flat or lifeless locks. By creating uneven, choppy ends, razor cutting can also give hair a more natural, lived-in look that is ideal for messy, undone hairstyles.”

We all have experimented with our hair. Every year we see new hairstyles, and sometimes, we even see some of the old ones making their entry again. Yes, we are talking about perm hairstyles that used to be one of the hottest hair trends in the 80s. And guess what? It has come back, but with a twist. You no longer have to undergo harsh hair treatments to get that perfect perm look. With advanced technology in hairstyling, you can have that look without compromising your hair health.

“My recommendation is the American Wave Permanent Texture Service,” says Nick Arrojo. “American Wave creates soft, natural-looking wave and curl patterns for today’s style-conscious client. Whether you want to increase volume, make curls, or add beach waves, this professional service offers the permanent creation of texture. The system uses editorial hair setting techniques for fashionable looks. The ionic waving lotion reduces stress on hair, smooths the cuticle, and encourages wave and curl patterns that are tailored to the characteristics of each person.”

So, what are you waiting for? Get your hair permed and flaunt it in style without any worries! In this article, we have listed some of the best permed hairstyles for you to try. Keep reading to know more!

Before You Get Started

• Look for hair salons that specialize in perming. Go to your perm appointment with 2-day-old hair. Your stylist will use a neutral clarifying shampoo to deeply cleanse your scalp to allow better penetration of the perm solution.
• The first hair wash must be done 3 days after the treatment.
• Avoid blow-drying permed hair. Let them air-dry.
• Limit heat styling. If you must use heating tools, use them at the lowest settings so that your perm does not get fried.
• Short hair perms can last for 3-4 months with proper hair care. Long hair perms can last 5-6 months.

Did You Know?

The first version of the perm was made in 1870 by Marcel Grateau, a French hairstylist. But it was Swiss hairdresser Karl Nessler who made the modern version of the perm that involved using a chemical solution and heat to style the hair.

How To Perm Hair?

Perming techniques have changed over the years, and thankfully, for the better. Back in the ‘80s, perming was the leading cause of hair damage caused due to the harsh chemicals that were used back then. But beauty does not have to be a pain anymore, because, thanks to modern science, you no longer have to sacrifice the health of your hair to stay stylish. You, technically, can perm your hair at home, but I would recommend you go to a professional to save you the effort and from dabbling with all those intimidating chemicals. So, before we jump into our ideas and inspirations for permed hair looks, let’s talk about what the perming process actually involves:

1. Your hair is washed thoroughly to remove any dirt and to allow the perming agent to enter your hair shaft easily. (Is it just me or does everyone feel like a millionaire heiress when they get their hair washed at the salon? Just me? Okay.)
2. Now, the disulfide bonds(that determine the texture of your hair) have to be broken to make the hair more “flexible”, so to speak. For this, a perming lotion is applied to your hair. The perming lotion will differ depending on the kind of perm you are getting – acid, alkaline or exothermic perm.
3. As the perming lotion works its magic to loosen the disulfide bonds in your hair, your hair is tightly wrapped around curling rods to redefine their structure and curl them up.
4. The amount of time that your hair is left in the curling rods depends on four things: the thickness of the hair, the texture of your hair, the condition of your hair, and the desired result.
5. The curling rods are then removed from your hair and a neutralizer is applied to rejoin the disulfide bonds in your hair into its new curly structure.
6. The neutralizer is washed out of your hair, and you are advised to not apply any heat, shampoos, or other hair products to your hair for the next couple of days.

Did You Know?

African-American hairstylist Marjori Joyner created a dome-shaped helmet in 1928 that used electrical current to heat up and style hair. First, it was used for straightening the coily hair of African-American women. Later, it was used to tighten curls to Caucasian women’s hair.

OK, now that we have got all the boring stuff out of the way, let’s jump into our top picks for perm hair ideas and naturally curly haired women that you could take inspiration from when getting your hair permed!

If your heart has been stuck on perms since ‘Harry Met Sally,’ this hairdo is the one for you. The playful hairstyle adds endless volume and dimension to your locks, perfect for those with an oblong face.

2. Disheveled Layered Perm

Adore perms but can’t maintain the look? No worries, the disheveled perm with messy wavy strands is a hairdo you can rely on for casual occasions. Time to embrace the ‘I-woke-up-like-this’ attitude. You can adorn the nonchalant hairstyle with flowers to subtly level its aesthetic appeal.

3. Blonde Spiral Perm

You know what they say – go big or go home. And with this perm job, you will definitely be going big. These tight and bouncy curls created by a spiral job look as magnificent as they are. But bleaching your hair blonde (before perming it, of course) will give you a perpetually beach-ready look. You can also add hair accessories for a fun and stylish touch to your permed hair.

4. Looks-Quite-Natural Perm

As the title suggests, this kind of perm looks quite natural. The curls in this style are a result of using really narrow curling rods during the perming process. Considering how much girls bemoan the frizz that they are cursed with, it’s amazing how beautiful the frizz created by brushing out this perm looks.

5. Mohawk Perm

What’s better than one hair transformation? A double hair transformation, of course! A Mohawk is a cool and daring style to sport by itself. But adding a root perm to it will take your badass factor to a whole new level. Moreover, the shaved, straight sides create a marvelously striking contrast against the tight, voluminous curls at the top.

6. Big Mane Spiral Perm

Want to infuse new life into your dull, lifeless hair? A spiral perm is just what you need to add gorgeous curls and dynamic texture from the roots to tips of your long tresses. And the best part is you will end up with hair that looks as magnificent as a lion’s mane!

7. Super Defined Root Perm

Ain’t nothing sexier than super defined ringlet curls that shoot off in all directions of their own accord. Perm styles will lift your hair from- you guessed it- your roots. The end result is loads of volume around your head and bouncy curls that could bring anyone who beholds them to their knees.

8. Mid-Length Diffused Perm

I know, I know. What’s the point of getting a perm if you have to dry them with a diffuser, right? But, hear me out. Diffuse drying your perm is the best way to build up texture and expansion. It opens up your curls and creates some beautiful definition in them. Besides, there’s something about jet black curls that is incomparable to any other style.

9. Bushy Perm

OK, I know, in a world that is governed by Eurocentric standards of beauty, bushy hair is considered “bad”. But, look at the gorgeous head of hair on that girl! You don’t always need to subject your permed hair to a myriad of hair products to get those perfectly defined curls. Sometimes, you can just let it air-dry and brush it out to create a beautiful and bushy mane.

10. Crazy Multi Textured Perm

Gone are the 80s, when each curling rod had to be inserted precisely to get a head of tight, perfect curls. It’s the 21st century, and messy hair is all the rage! This multi-textured perm involves using curling rods of different sizes to create messier and more natural-looking curls.

11. Rough Partial Perm

I’m a rock chic girl in a hard rock world! If you want to unleash your rock chic side to the world, this perm is exactly what you need. This partial perm, which leaves the roots untouched and curls the lower half of your hair, creates a rough and sexy look that will make you look like an absolute rock star.

12. Relaxed Waves Perm

Who says that you can only go for tight curls when getting a perm? Getting some relaxed waves is also a completely viable option, thanks to the digital perm. Unlike a normal perm, your waves will be most prominent when your hair is dry. Plus, you get the perm without the commitment of having super curly hair!

13. Partial Digital Perm

If you are anything like me, you have probably spent a lot of time fantasizing about having a permanent blowdried hair look. Well, with a partial perm, you can get one step closer to that dream! This look involves getting the ends of your hair digitally permed and leaving the roots and midsection of your hair untouched to create a chic half straight/half curled hair look.

14. Crazy Huge Perm

Yeah, so Malin Akerman is an ethereal human being who can carry off the most ridiculous of perms. But, truth be told, this big perm actually looks pretty great, in an “in your face” kinda way. Akerman’s short hair has been permed into some seriously big curls to create this crazy gorgeous curly bob look.

15. Beachy Waves Perm

Julianne Hough proves that your idea of a perm does not have to be limited to tight ringlets of curls. Here she is seen sporting super relaxed beachy waves that are super cute to look at.

16. The Carrie Bradshaw Perm

If there’s one thing that Carrie Bradshaw has done for women all over the world, it is show them that you don’t always need to have poker straight, super styled hair to look gorgeous. And, to this day, women all over the world flock to salons to get their hair permed into absolutely unruly blonde curls like hers. And we are not co

(Pictured above is Sarah Jessica Parker who played Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City.)

17. Ginormous Perm

OK, bear with me here. I know this hair looks pretty ridiculous. But, BEYONCE! Beyonce sported this ginormous root perm at the Austin Powers in Goldmember movie premier back in 2002. And even though I know you will probably think twice (or 100 times) before getting this blonde perm done, you can rest assured that you will stand out in a crowd if you do.

18. Burgundy Short Perm

Rihanna has done her fair share of experimenting when it comes to hair colors. But this burgundy shade is one of my personal favorites. The deep red shade has been done up in a short spiral perm bob that looks fabulous, while still staying on the classier side of things.

19. Short Wavy Perm

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to have medium or long hair to get a perm. A short bob can suffice if loose waves are all you need. The cuteness factor of this relaxed wavy look is taken up even more by the adorably short bangs at the front.

20. Grungy Multi Textured Perm Bob

It is surprising how versatile you can be with a perm. Take this short bob look, for example. Done up in curls of varying sizes, this rough perm is the epitome of chic grunge. Topped off with some super short bangs and the curls seemingly having a mind of their own, this look takes grunge styling to a whole new level.

21. Bleached Blonde Perm Bob

They say that blondes have more fun. When I look at this hair look, I almost believe it. (Almost.)

The fine waves created by this perm and the blonde dye job look sun kissed, as if you have just come back from a day of frolicking about on the beach!

22. Big Body Perm

When it comes to creating big and bouncy curls, a body perm is where it’s at. A body perm will give you big curls that are not as tightly wound as the curls given by a spiral perm. These big curls look gorgeous, natural, and have an oomph factor of their own.

23. Tousled Curls Partial Perm

Some of us like to get that all-natural look even when we style our hair. This perm look is tailor-made for those types of people. Not only is this partial perm done only on the lower half of your hair, but it is also done using wide curling rods to create big curls that have been tousled up to make them look effortless and natural.

24. Partial Body Perm

Olaplex has basically revolutionized the perming process by reducing hair damage significantly. This partial body perm that has been done on the lower half of her hair to create big curls has been done with the help of Olaplex. Finished off with some straight cut bangs, this perm looks like something straight off a Parisian runway.

25. Wet Hot Perm Bob

Considering how ‘in’ bob cuts are right now, it is no surprise that one has turned up again on this list. Hot perms basically look like loose waves when wet and turn into more defined curls when dry. This short bob look has been done up in a hot perm and left wet to create a relaxed and shaggy wavy look.

26. Mixed Digital And Cold Partial Perm

Sometimes you just want to look like a cutesy girl-next-door, don’t you? Well, achieving this look may be slightly complicated but the end result is definitely worth the effort. A digital perm has been done on the lower half of this model’s hair to create some big curls at the bottom that are more defined when dry. The bangs have been done up in a cold perm to create a slightly wavy look and complete the aura of natural effortlessness.

27. Sultry Cold Perm

There’s something so sexy about a woman’s hair right after she has stepped out of the shower. You can capture the essence of that look with a cold spiral perm that will give you super defined and scrunched up curls when your hair is wet and loose waves when it is dry.

28. Multi Textured Perm Shaggy Bob

If you are planning on going for a dramatic hair transformation, here’s a cool idea for you. A short shag bob is effortlessly cute by itself but it runs the risk of looking like a downright mess if not carefully styled. Getting a multi-textured perm can add some beautiful and natural looking curls to your bob and reduce the effort of styling it every single time you step out.

29. Luscious Body Perm

It’s every girl’s dream to have full-bodied curls that lusciously cascade down her back. And you could achieve that look with the help of a curling wand and giving up at an hour of your life every day. OR you could just go for a body perm that can give you big, bouncy, beautiful curls and reduce the everyday effort on your part.

30. Wild Perm

We all want to live young and wild and free. And we all want the way we look to convey that. This perm will add a ton of texture and dimension to your hair and help you reveal your wild side. And to let your hair completely out of control, cut into a short shag bob and let your curls do their thing.

31. Swooped Bangs Perm

Now, here’s another take on the classic perm look. You don’t have to limit yourself to long hair or bob cuts to sport a perm. You could also go for a swooped bangs look that is short on the sides and long on the top. A perm can add tons of volume to your hair and work great to reduce the roundness of your face and accentuate your angles.

32. Texturized Partial Perm

Dammnnn, Beyonce… back at it again with the permed hair! This time around, Queen Bey is sporting a partial perm that has natural roots left at the top and the rest of the hair done up in a multi-textured perm. This has enabled the hair at the top of her head to fall flat neatly and created gorgeous volume on the sides of her face, accentuating her cheekbones.

33. Medium Bob Spiral Perm

Imaan Hammam is that Dutch-Egyptian beauty who has taken the fashion world by storm in the past couple of years. When she walks down the ramp, her natural curls make her stand out in a sea of beautiful faces. To get tresses like hers, your best bet would be to go for any mid-length haircut and a hot spiral perm.

34. Layered Multi Textured Perm

When a revival of the popular 90s TV show Beverly Hills 90210 hit the screens in 2008, everyone sat up and took notice of Annalynne McCord’s gorgeous blonde curls. You could recreate her look by getting your hair cut in some layers and going for a multi-textured perm.

35. Blonde Classic Perm

Once you lay your eyes on Dutch model Rose Bertram, it’s hard to look away. And, believe it or not, her hair is naturally curly and blonde. If you want to get classically curly locks like hers, you may have to go in for a dye job to bleach your hair blonde and then go for either a spiral or a stacked digital perm.

36. Cold Spiral Perm

DJ Vashtie has created quite a name for herself in the New York music scene. Besides her sick tunes, a standout feature of this powerhouse of talent is her long glossy curls. You could go in for a cold spiral perm on long hair to get her look.

37. Bouncy Curls Hot Perm

Mexican supermodel Luz Pavon is an inspiring entrepreneur in her own right. But what got her to the top of the fashion industry is her thick, curly hair that she used to endorse many hair products. A hot perm with wide curling rods is just what you need to imitate her fabulously bouncy curls.

38. Golden Blonde Spiral Perm

At just 17, Danish model Frederikke Sofie has firmly established herself in the modeling world. A large part of her success (besides sheer hard work, of course) has to do with her ravishing golden curls that lend an air of ethereal quirkiness to her look. You could go for a cold stacked or spiral perm with small curling rods if you want to take a page out of her hair look book.

39. Cold Root Perm

Here’s another 17-year-old who is giving us some major envy. Alanna Arrington may just be at the beginning of her modeling career, but she has already opened for Altuzarra at New York Fashion Week this past year. Her gorgeous curls may well be natural, but you can get her look by going for a cold root perm and a bob cut with straight cut bangs.

40. Wispy Bangs Spiral Perm

If there is one thing that makes Juno Temple stand out in a slew of conventional looking actresses, it’s her untamed mane. Her naturally blonde and tightly wound curly hair is truly a thing of beauty. You can achieve her look by getting a spiral perm done on your hair and cutting a few curls in the front to get some wispy bangs.

41. Hot Root Perm

Kangana Ranaut may be a Bollywood actress, but she is renowned all over the world for her work (and her beauty). More importantly, her wildly curly tresses have brought about a revolution in the Hindi film industry’s beauty standards that believed in heavily styling one’s hair. A hot root perm done on long hair is exactly what you need to get her look.

42. Boho Chic Perm

When it comes to boho curly hair, Vanessa Hudgens rules the roost. Her long, minimally styled hair flows down in a waterfall of curls, and the effect is breathtaking. If you want to get her look, you may have to grow your hair out until it reaches your waist before going in for a hot spiral perm.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a perm last?

Usually, a perm lasts three to six months. But it depends on the hair type and how one takes care of a perm.

Can you perm gray hair?

Since gray hair tends to be resistant, your hairstylist might need to go for an alkaline-type perm as it gives a well-defined curl to the resistant hair.

Is a perm good for thin hair?

The spot perm is ideal for thin hair. It only focuses on one or two spots and lets the rest of the hair be. Therefore, there is barely any hair damage.

How often should I wash permed hair?

You can wash your hair once a week with warm water. But do not forget to use dry shampoo between the washes whenever the roots begin to feel dirty.

If you have a round face, you know the time and effort it takes to search for hairstyles that make your face look thinner rather than wide. It can be very irritating, especially for those special days you want to look like a goddess, like your wedding day. So, we made a list of the best bridal hairstyles for round faces.

Imagine this, you are asleep, dreaming of your wedding day. You have the perfect flowing wedding dress, your shoes (although hidden) look glamorous, but you feel your hair sticking to your face making its round shape all the more evident! *Gasp* You want a hairstyle that cuts the width of your face shape, enhances your facial features, and highlights your makeup. Instead of looking rounder, your hairstyle should make your face look leaner and longer.

While it may sound impossible, it is pretty easy to achieve with the right hairstyle! So keep reading to check out some shape-altering hairstyles to make your round face look even better! But first, do you know if you have a round face? Keep reading to find out!

Before You Get Started

• Styling your hair with wispy, choppy, or feathered layers will take the attention off your face shape and draw focus to your facial features. Especially adding some wisp in your face at its widest point will thin your face.
• Compare your bridal hairstyle with other inspirations and check with a stylist before you go ahead with a hairstyle. Always do a trial run of the style before your D-day.
• Part your hair on the side rather than in the middle. A center part can make your forehead and cheeks appear more prominent, which can be undesirable.
• If you have a round face, add more height to your hairstyle at the crown to elongate your face shape and improve your overall look.
• Opting for loose curls with stray strands framing the face will have a slimming effect on your face shape.

How To Know If You Have A Round Face

• Measure the widths of your forehead, cheeks, and jawline.
• Measure the length from your hairline to the tip of your chin.
• If the broadest width is equal to the length of your face, you have a round face.
• Also, your jawline will be soft and round rather than angular.

Now that you’ve determined your face is indeed a round shape, here are a few pointers to keep in mind.

Keys To Picking A Good Hairstyle For Round Faces

• Bangs, especially blunt bangs, shorten the face and will make it appear wider. Side bangs or wispy bangs are the safe options for a round face.
• Long straight hair with layers works like magic for women with round faces. The layers add focus to the jawline, giving it more structure.
• Long full curls and waves are excellent choices for round faces. The full curls and waves add volume to the hair, giving your face a thin appearance.
• If you’re going for a short hairstyle, try the textured lob. Let the back be short, and the front should be at or below the jawline. A lob is always a better choice than a bob. An A-Line lob, and especially one that’s longer in the front will lengthen your neck.
• If you’re considering a bun, go for a bun with layers as that will add volume to your hair and make your face look slim. Place the bun up high to add the illusion of more length.

Creative Director of Paul Labrecque Salon and Skincare Spa, Paul Labrecque says, “If you want to add bangs to your hairstyle a deep side part with a swooping side bang is most flattering. If you really want to wear or keep a middle part, a curtain bang will thin out a wide forehead and give your face some length.”

Quick Tip

If you have short curly hair, you can go for big bangs that swoop down and cover the top half of your face.

Here are a few things you need to avoid.

What To Avoid When Picking A Hairstyle For A Round Face

• Avoid blunt haircuts (the entire hair being the same length) without a fringe as they make your face look larger than it is.
• Choose short hairstyles at your own risk. I’m not saying that short hairstyles are bad for women with round faces, but they all might not be suitable. If you have a thin round face, a short hairstyle will look good. Really short hairstyles are a no-no for round-faced women.

Paul Labrecque adds, “Short hairstyles for this face type should have some wispy layers placed in the face. A gamine look/style rather than a crop cut is less harsh and more face-thinning.”

Quick Tip

Also, avoid short bangs as they will make your round face appear even rounder.

I have put together a list of 22 bridal hairstyles, along with a few hairdo maintenance tips and pre-night hair prep tips, so you don’t have to worry about your hair on D-day!

This hairdo involves folding your hair and then sweeping it to one side. You can use a braid maker to help you get loose folds or go to a hairstylist and get it done.

17. Loose Half Braid

This is an elegant hairstyle that is perfect for all face shapes. Very loosely, braid the top of your hair into a fishtail braid. Tie it halfway (right at the ears) with an elastic band. Now, take about an inch of hair from the side and roll it over the elastic band. Fluff your hair to add volume.

18. Slight Pompadour Bun With A Twist

This is a graceful pompadour bun with curls at the end. The pompadour at the top adds height to the hair, which gives your face an elongated look.

19. Side-Swept Bangs With A Neat Bun

The bun with side swept up bangs looks impressive on round faces. The side swept bangs not only take away focus from your forehead but also add horizontal attention to your face, focusing on your eyes.

20. The Boho Braid

A boho braid is a stunning bridal hairstyle. It is very graceful and pretty. Make sure that your braid is loose with some hair dropping on your face. This will make your hair look thicker. You can play around with the boho braid by braiding just the center top hair.

21. The Knotted Bun

A knotted bun looks good on women with round faces. But make sure the knotted bun is big, and allow some hair to fall on your face.

22. The Loose Messy Bun

The added height of this hairstyle at the top makes your face look long. The loose hair falling on your face makes it look slim.

In addition, use hair extensions, which can also be used to add volume and length to your hair. Depending on your hair texture, you may opt for loose waves, hair braids, or a sleek and straight style. If you want to experiment with hair color or highlights, be sure to do so well in advance of your wedding day.

These 20 hairstyles will work for you – whether you have your hair covered or left uncovered. If you decide to go au naturel, remember to have some loose hair fall on your face.

Here are some hair care tips to help you prep for the D-day.

Hair Care And Maintenance

• Start your hair care regimen at least two to three months before your wedding day.
• Use a blend of castor oil and coconut oil to get voluminous hair.
• Deep condition your hair at least three times a week.
• Shampoo your hair on alternate days.
• Use a conditioner regularly as that will moisturize your hair and keep it luscious.

Googling hairstyles and haircuts for oval faces can be tricky, especially considering that not all hairstyles suit an oval shape. People with oval face shapes often deal with a prominent forehead, and hence it is not uncommon to see fringes on them.

You might have a pointy jawline and an egg-shaped head, and you will need to find a hairstyle that accentuates certain features of your face like cheekbones, jawlines, and eyes. Finding the right haircut for oval-faced women won’t be a problem once you know the features you want to highlight.

If you are still unsure what hairstyles will work on your face cut for sure or looking for the best haircut for an oval face, we are here to help. So, go through these oval face hairstyles crafted especially for you and get ready to transform into a diva with a simple hairstyle. Keep scrolling for more info!

Before You Get Started

• Finding hairstyles that compliment any face shape can be tricky. However, the oval face shape is the easiest in this regard as most hairstyles look good on it.
• Your choice of a perfect hairstyle can be narrowed down based on your hair texture. Go for a shaggy look if you have curly hair and a sleek cut if you have straight hair.
• If you want to color your hair, besides face shape, you must also consider your skin tone and eye color.

How To Measure Your Facial Dimensions

• Using a regular scale or a measuring tape,
• measure the width of your forehead at its widest point. For most people, it is at the halfway point between the hairline line and eyebrows.
• Measure the width of your cheeks from ear to ear, beginning and ending at the points where your ears are connected to your face.
• Next, measure between the widest points of your jaw.
• Finally, measure the length of your face, beginning at your hairline and ending at the tip of your chin.

Follow the steps given below to determine whether you have an oval face.

Do You Have An Oval Face?

• The length of your face is greater than its width.
• You have a large forehead and a semi-pointed jawline.
• Your jawline is not entirely pointed; it’s more angular.
• You have a narrow jawline and forehead that are about the same width.
• Your cheekbones are soft and angular.

Now that you know you have an oval face, here are some pointers to look out for when picking your hairdos.

Focus Points

• • Having an oval face means a large forehead. Make sure the hairstyle you pick covers your forehead at least partially. This draws attention to your cheeks, jawline, and neck.

• Go for a small pouf rather than a large one. Poufs are meant to add height to your face, so they can make your face look longer than needed.
• Show off your cheekbones by picking loose hairstyles where you can tuck your hair behind your ears.
• Parting your hair down the middle will make your face appear longer than it is. Try slight side partings or a zig-zag middle parting.
• Messy hairstyles like top knots work wonders for oval faces as they make your hair look voluminous.
• Bangs! When in doubt, go for bangs. All types of bangs work with oval faces. It simply depends on which facial feature you want to flaunt.
• While people with other face shapes have to be careful when picking short hairstyles, you don’t have to worry about this problem as all short hairstyles look great on oval face shape.

Now that you’re up to speed with everything you need to know about the oval face shape and how to pick flattering hairstyles for it, let’s explore some incredible hairstyles that you can try out.

Finding the perfect hairstyles for diamond faces can seem tricky, especially considering how sharp your facial features are. If you have a diamond-shaped face, you have something in common with gorgeous women like Megan Fox, Tyra Banks, Jennifer Lopez, and Rosario Dawson. These elegant celebrities have sharp jawlines, which makes a vital feature of the diamond face.

As unique as it is, finding the correct hairstyle that highlights your jaw can feel overwhelming. To keep the search easy, here are some suitable diamond face shape hairstyle options for drop-dead gorgeous by embracing your stunning looks. Keep scrolling to check them out!

Before You Get Started

• Finding hairstyles that compliment any face shape can be tricky. However, the oval face shape is the easiest in this regard as most hairstyles look good on it.
• Your choice of a perfect hairstyle can be narrowed down based on your hair texture. Go for a shaggy look if you have curly hair and a sleek cut if you have straight hair.
• If you want to color your hair, besides face shape, you must also consider your skin tone and eye color.

How To Measure Facial Dimensions

Face shapes are the reason certain hairstyles look good on some people but not on others. And it’s not just limited to hairstyles. It’s how you apply your makeup or pick your glasses too. Face shapes are everything! They’re also the reason you have to be very careful when you go for a haircut.

• For measurements, you can use a regular scale or a curved scale. You can also use a rope or thread to measure your face and then place it on a scale to see the dimensions.
• First, check the width of your forehead. Find the widest point of your forehead. For most people, it should be midway between the hairline and eyebrows.
• Check the width of your cheeks. Measure just under the eyes from ear to ear.
• Next, measure the widest points of your jaw.
• Finally, take the longitudinal measurement of your face, beginning at your hairline and ending at the tip of your chin.

So, how do you know if your face is diamond-shaped?

Do You Have A Diamond Face?

You have a diamond face if:

• Your cheekbones are the widest part of your face.
• Your jawline is more pointed than angular. This is what sets a diamond face apart from an oval face.
• You have a narrow jawline and forehead that are about the same width.
• Your hairline is narrower and tapers just like your jawline. (The significant difference between a diamond face and a heart-shaped face is the hairline.)
• Your cheekbones are high and pointed.
• You have a long forehead and jawline.
• The length of your face is longer than its width.

Here are a few things you need to keep in mind when picking a hairstyle for your diamond-shaped face.

Focus Points

• Take the attention off your cheekbones. Make sure the hair near your cheeks is flat and not voluminous. Focus on making your forehead and jawline seem a tad wider than they are.
• Don’t add height to the hair at the top. This will make your face look longer than it is by making your jaw and forehead appear longer than they are. You can add a slight puff to the hair on top of your head, but make sure you have bangs to cover your forehead.
• Add volume to the hair under the jawline to make it seem less pointed.
• While the cheekbones are the fullest part of a diamond face, there are times when flaunting them works wonders. Show off your cheekbone structure by using hairstyles that tuck in behind the ears.
• Consider blunt front bangs as they help shorten a long face.
• Middle partings will help make a face appear longer than it is. Try side partings or a zig-zag middle parting.
• Avoid one length or blunt bobs. They will amplify your angular features.
• Curls add texture to the hair, which is what a diamond face needs. However, make sure that you don’t add curls near the cheeks as this will accentuate them. Instead, add volume near the forehead and under the chin. If you have full curly hair, your volume will get thicker as it grows and, in turn, soften the angular features of your face.

Quick Tip

Diamond face shapes have a sharp jawline. Thus, you should avoid sharp layers near the chin as they can make your jawline look harsher. Also, avoid blunt bob cuts that end right near the chin.

Choosing a hairstyle is tricky for this face shape since it’s quite unique. But, don’t worry! We’ve compiled a list of what you need to focus on to get a good hairstyle.

Hairstyle Pointers

Bangs

Bangs are the trickiest to style compared to every other haircut. Take side-swept bangs, for example. One day, they may look great on you, but the next day, you might hate the way they look. It’s all about how you style them.

• Side-swept bangs work well with diamond faces. Long and/or deep side-swept bangs also work. They cover the forehead partially, so the length of the forehead is well hidden and its width increases. They also help frame the eyes by bringing lateral focus to the face.
• Middle partings make a face look longer. So, avoid them. Also, don’t add height to the crown as it adds length to the face.
• Don’t try thick blunt bangs. They tend to accentuate the cheekbones. Since the cheekbones are the widest in a diamond face, you don’t need them to look any more full.
• You have to be careful with long straight bangs. They look good when they’re feathered at the center, but full long straight bangs are not a good option.
• You need to be careful with wispy bangs too. Feathered wispy bangs that are slightly parted at the center work well, but thick ones are a no-no.
• Fauxhawk bangs are great. You will need to experiment to see whether short or long ones suit you.
• Try bangs that taper on the sides. They help cover a narrow forehead but not the entire forehead altogether.
• Baby bangs tend to work the best with short hairstyles or braids.

Quick Tip

Light curtain bangs that are parted in the middle look great on a diamond face. Other bangs styles you can try are a feathered fringe, light side-swept bangs, and wispy side bangs as they frame this face shape very well.

Full Hair

• Add curls to add texture and volume to your hair. If you’re curling only parts of your hair, curl near the forehead and under the chin. This will make your chin and forehead appear less angular and a little broad.
• Choppy ends add the much-needed volume to your hair and soften your face.
• Shag cuts look amazing on diamond faces. Shaggy layers help make the jawline and forehead appear shorter and a bit wider. However, this is not to be confused with the layered cut. The layered haircut is layered on the sides of your face. The shag haircut is at levels all around your head.
• Short hairdos like a textured bob, a lob, and a pixie cut look gorgeous on diamond faces as they soften the jawline. Try wispy ends or a textured cut instead of keeping the ends blunt.
• Consider long layers that start at the jawline. The layers bring dimension to your face by adding texture to your hair.

Accessories

Hair Colors

Darker roots with lighter tips tend to make a face appear longer, which is not what a diamond face requires. Instead, try highlights or lowlights that are spread evenly all over your hair. These need to be two shades lighter or darker than your natural hair color. Thick highlights also work well for this face shape.

Hair Clips

Pick hair accessories that clip your hair near your ears or clip your hair up at the center. If you are using big clips, use them at the back and not on the sides of your head.

Glasses

Since the diamond face shape is narrow at the eye line, you need to choose glasses that accentuate your eyes. Top-heavy frames, like semi-rimless frames or upswept frames that emphasize the eyebrows, are perfect for your face shape. Avoid small or narrow glasses that attract attention to the tight eye line. They will make your cheekbones appear wider than they are.

Now that you know what to look for and what to avoid when styling your hair for your diamond-shaped face, here are a few hairstyles that you can try out.

35 Stunning Hairstyles For Diamond Face Shape

1. The Barbie Ponytail

J Lo never disappoints, be it her music or hairstyles. A high ponytail that cascades in a gentle manner, this minimalist yet modish hairdo is undoubtedly one for the books. The hairstyle exudes a flirtatious charm and subtly uplifts your overall look, making you look years younger.

2. Bold Wet Hair

A statement look to grab everyone’s attention and ensure the spotlight stays on you. This wet hair look is a poise and edgy hairstyle you can experiment with at any time. Just like Vanessa Hudgens, you can have your own red-carpet moment as well!

3. Long Waves With Center-Parting

While a center part isn’t exactly for diamond face shapes, supermodel Naomi Campbell has always stuck to it as her go-to hairstyle, and no doubt she looks mesmerizing with it. The long prominent waves complement her high cheekbones and pointed jawline, adding a balance to the sharp middle parting.

4. Side-Swept Pixie

One of the most popular haircuts, the pixie has been a clear favorite among celebs. Scarlett Johansson in this particular side-swept pixie looks absolutely stunning. The hairstyle conceals half of the forehead and softens the jawline, which balances the sharp features of a diamond face.

5. Minimal Half Updo

Channel your inner Greek goddess with this one! The half updo with a subtle bouffant adds length to a diamond-shaped face and accentuates her defined jawline. Emulate the look using a textured spray and backcombing the hair at the crown.

6. Side-Swept Hair

Luscious curly hair swept to one side looks gorgeous on a diamond face. Instead of pinning your hair down, pin it on one side near your ear. The curls add volume to your hair while also softening your features.

7. Slight Waves

Camila Alves looks stunning. Usually, a middle parting is a strict no-no for women with diamond faces. But here, Camila has waves right near her cheeks, so the middle parting helps. The wavy hair adds volume to the texture of your natural hair. The idea is to make your jawline look broader so that your cheekbones are highlighted.

8. One Side Pinned Up Hair

This hairstyle is an edgy alternative for women who don’t want to risk shaving one side of their hair. The side swept bangs help reduce the length of the forehead. The length of the bob is just under the jawline, which makes the jawline appear broader.

9. Feathered Bangs

Selma Blair sports bangs most of the time. And if you love front fringes, this is how you should sport them. Feather the bangs at the center to not conceal your forehead completely and avoid highlighting your cheeks. These bangs work well with a ponytail or a braid.

10. The Lob

The lob is perfect for diamond faces. Keep the length below the chin as it softens the jawline. Another key here is to tuck one side of your hair behind your ear. This creates an asymmetrical look, which is flattering on diamond faces. Also, notice how the middle parting is used when the length of hair is below the jawline.

11. Side Parting With Wavy Hair

Vanessa Hudgens is fantastic and so is her hairdo. The big waves of this short bob help soften her face and focus on her eyes. The highlights all across her hair help frame her face.

12. Deep Side-Swept Bangs

Deep side-swept bangs are the best for a diamond face. They make a face look soft instead of pointy. The side-swept bangs cover the forehead, leaving only a little to be seen. This decreases the height of the forehead and draws attention to the eyes.

13. Low Bun With Deep Side Bangs

The key to perfect updos like the one sported by Rosario Dawson here is not to add too much height at the crown. Pair deep side-swept bangs with a simple low bun. Keep this hairstyle a little loose to create a soft and romantic hair look.

14. Pinned Updo

If you are tired of flaunting bangs, this updo is for you. Twist your bangs in a slight puff and clip them back. Roll your hair into a bun and leave the ends to create this elegant look.

15. Pinned Bangs

Here’s a hairstyle that’s a brilliant alternative to the half ponytail. Take the front section of your hair and pin it at the back. Now, run your fingers through your hair to fluff it up and give it a voluminous look.

16. Scrunched Up Hair

Scrunched up hair looks excellent on diamond faces. You can take a leaf out of Tyra Banks’s book and accessorize it with a flower pinned on one side. This hairstyle is playful and full of life!

17. Silky Straight

This super straight hairdo with chunky highlights is terrific, to say the least. The lob is flat right near the cheeks, which highlights the cheekbones without focusing on the width. The length of the hair along with the deep side parting helps in making the forehead and jawline appear wider.

18. Slight Side Parting

This slight side parting is a great alternative to middle partings. The slightly off-center parting gives her face a soft look and decreases the sharpness of her jawline. The light hair coloring near the cheeks gives it a slim look. The soft curls below the chin help soften the jaw.

19. Tight French Twist

Megan Fox’s slick updo is impressive! Pull your hair back and tie a tight French twist to accentuate your cheekbones and show off your diamond-shaped face in all its glory.

20. The Mom Bun

Jennifer Lopez looks amazing in this neatly done mom bun! This lovely high bun pulls her cheekbones upwards and adds some impressive definition to them.

21. Ringlet Ponytail

Jennifer Lopez is a queen. She always looks phenomenal, and this hairstyle proves it. Style your hair in a retro side-swept fringe with a deep side parting. Then, tie your hair in a loose low ponytail and curl it in perfect ringlets.

22. Retro Look

Kate Hudson’s retro look is stunning. The full curls at the end of her shoulder-length hair make her jawline look wide and give her face a more proportioned look.

23. Backcombed Bun

This is a creative way to bun your hair. Curl your hair to add some texture to it. Backcomb the hair on top and pin it back to create a slight puff. Now, tie your hair in a messy bun to finish off this chic look.

24. Middle Bun

Kate Hudson sure knows how to use her face shape to her advantage – because this updo looks incredible. Comb your hair back loosely with a round brush and tie it in a bun. Spritz some hairspray to keep it in place.

25. The Shag Hairdo

Meg Ryan, America’s sweetheart, sported a short shag haircut all through the 90s. This messy look takes attention away from her forehead and focuses it on the bottom half of her face. The side bangs frame her eyes well.

26. Wavy Lob

This wavy hairstyle looks youthful yet elegant. The waves and slightly darker roots add texture to her hair and make it look luscious. They also soften her features and make it look less sharper than it actually is.

27. Ferocious Curls

This fierce woman embraces her ethnicity, and she’s got the curls to prove it. Her full, tight curls accentuate her jawline and high cheekbones perfectly.

28. Jumbo Twists Updo

Braids look incredible on diamond faces, and I don’t just mean simple braids or French braids. African protective styles, like these jumbo twists, make a face appear small instead of long and wide.

29. Sleek Straight Hair

Keep it simple! Brandy Norwood is sporting quite a gorgeous hairstyle here that works wonders for her diamond face shape. While brushing your sleek straight hair, place the brush underneath your hair and comb it outward. This creates volume near your forehead.

30. Thick Colors

Adding lush colors to the hair near your face is a great way to frame it. The big curls also add volume and dimension to your tresses and soften your jawline.

31. Deep Side Bangs With A Lob

This hairstyle is simply stunning. The colors and the deep side bangs help soften the face and take the focus away from the forehead, making it look like a thin, heart-shaped face.

32. Afro Kinky Hair

Doctor Who’s Bill Potts made all us Whovians fall for her hair! This Afro hairdo looks stunning on diamond faces. Keep your bangs the same kinky texture as the rest of your hair and feather them slightly. Her half-hidden forehead prevents it from looking too broad.

33. Edgy Curls

This edgy hairstyle looks terrific on Jessica Szohr. The curly hair covers her forehead partially, making it appear shorter than it is. The curls also make the whole face appear smaller and more proportioned.

34. Puff Bun

Jessica Szohr wowed us with not just her simple style in Gossip Girl but also with her hairstyles. This chic yet straightforward hairstyle looks amazing. The bun with the loose hair strands looks lovely. Notice how the puff is at the top of her head instead of in the front. This is the best way to wear a puff for diamond face women.

35. Loose Braid

This is a great braid hairstyle for diamond faces. The deep side bangs conceal her broad forehead while the loose braid softens her face.

Professional hairstylist Laura Clark who specializes in hair extensions cannot stop gushing over this look. She says, “I love the middle part and straight long hair down on either side of the head on a diamond shaped face. Megan Fox looks great with her hair down, middle part, and straight hair. It accentuates the chin and makes your jawline look snatched. It also makes your cheekbones pop!”

Close your eyes and think of Blair Waldorf, the evil dictator of taste, and immediately you think of her classic headband look. Headbands can take any hairstyle from a subpar 3 to a flawless 10! In today’s post, we will discuss the best headband hairstyles you should try out.

Licensed hair stylist and owner of Twisted Scissors Salon, Jessica Shults says, “Not only are headbands a fun and trendy accessory, but they serve a multiple of purposes. I grab a headband whenever I don’t want to wash my hair to conceal my dirty hair with a fashion statement! They also keep hair out of my face, which is really helpful. Anybody that loves accessories loves that headbands are trending again!”

So, dial up your hairdos with these stunning headbands. Keep reading to check out the different ways you can wear a headband to add oomph to your hair the Blair Waldorf way!

Before You Get Started

• As stylish as headbands are, they also have a bad reputation for snagging hair and leading to breakage around the hairline.
• If you have curly and coily hair, use only silk or satin headbands. They look stylish and reduce friction and knotting.
• Match your headbands with your outfit for a well-rounded look. If it keeps sliding, secure it with a couple of bobby pins behind the ear.

Thinking about skipping your brunch because of a bad hair day? There is an easy trick to solve your problem; just grab your hair, pull it into a low ponytail, and add a gold headband to it. Make it trendy like Johanna Klum, who rocks a loose and messy hairstyle with a headband.

8. Full Fringe Bun With Intricate Headband:

If you have fringes, you know headbands were made for you, right? For this sophisticated look, perfect for a festival or a girl’s night out, keep your bun undone and the rest of your bijoux to a minimum. You could side sweep your long bangs, but for that extra impact and romantic look, try rocking the headband behind your fringe à la Dianna Agron.

9. Long Bob With Gold Headband:

Long bob, floral dress, and a distant sun headband—go all edgy and glamorous with this chic look. Take a tip from Alex Smith-Kirk and keep the rest of your look simple; avoid caked-on makeup, flashy clothes, and dangly accessories altogether.

10. Long Hair With Floral Headband:

If your hair is long, the right headband is a no-brainer addition to make it glamorous. In Zara Martin’s case, she chose a big, chunky, floral headband that lies flat against her head.

Position it at the back of the head, pull the sides up behind your ears, and tie it at the back. Get inspired by this model at the Lena Hoschek show, who paired the style with natural looking makeup – dewy skin, doe eyes, peachy lips – for a gorgeous finishing touch.
