Chances are you’ve seen tons of hairstyles in blogs you’ve perused and bridal magazines that you’ve purchased. You might even have an idea of what you’d like done with your hair for the wedding day, but before you get your heart completely set on it, we encourage you to take a few things into consideration; mostly what you have to work with, and the image that you’re trying to achieve.
First
off, take a look at what you have to work with. You need to make sure
the hairstyle you choose matches your facial shape and structure, and
that your hair texture will allow for the style you want. I’ve always
dreamed of having soft-flowing curls for my big day, but with my hair
being super thin and refusing to hold a curl for more than 10 minutes, I
know it’s never going to happen.
If you have a long face…
Wearing your hair long and down will just make your face look longer. Piling your hair on top of your head will also elongate your whole head, and draw all attention to the enormous oval atop your neck rather than to the entire gorgeous ensemble.
Try to add fullness around your ears and cheekbones to make your face rounder rather than longer, or a bit below your ears if you have a long neck and want to wear your hair up. A wispy, flowing style can also help, and if you have a pointy nose like me, consider adding bangs or a side part with an illusion of bangs; it will draw attention away from your nose.
If you have a round face…
Body and curls surrounding your face will just make it look that much rounder. Try adding fullness either on top of your head or below your chin line to help elongate your face. Also try to avoid styles that are too tight and slicked back, as this can also draw attention to the roundness of your face.
If your face is more square…
Try not to draw attention to your chin line. If your hair is in a bob cut, you’ll want to find a way to pull your hair away from your face to help smooth out your features. You can also add width around the ears or atop your head. Soft and wispy styles can also add a nice balance to your strong features; unless you want to call them out! Short, sleek pixie styles can be quite striking if you have a strong jaw and cheekbones!
