Bridal Hairstyles by Face Shape

Your face shape can guide your hairstyle choice. For a round face, add height and volume at the crown. A high ponytail or a voluminous updo lengthens the face. Avoid styles that add width at the sides. For an oval face, you are lucky. Almost any style works. Try a sleek low bun, loose waves, or a deep side part. For a square face, soften the angles. Choose styles with soft curls or face-framing tendrils. Avoid severe, geometric styles. For a heart-shaped face, create width at the chin. A low chignon or side-swept curls balances a wider forehead. Avoid too much volume at the crown. For a long face, add width at the sides. Soft curls, a low bun, or a braided crown are all flattering. Avoid styles that add height at the crown.
