Face Shapes-How to Measure and Determine Your Face Shape
Teach you how to measure and determine your face shape, and even more importantly how to choose the right hair style to fit your face shape.There are six different face shapes: Oval face shape, Heart Shaped face shape, Pear Shaped face shape, Square face shape, Round face shape, and Long face shape.
There are lots of suggestions on how to figure out your shape. These include everything from outlining your face shape on a mirror with lipstick to draping it with a towel and asking others to help you guess the shape. But, there is actually a scientific way to determine your face shape once and for all.
To find out the shape of your face, measure it with a tape measure or ruler. You will take the following measurements.
1. Measure your face across the top of your cheekbones. Write down the measurement on a piece of paper.
2. Measure across your jaw line from the widest point to the widest point. Write down the measurement.
3. Measure across your forehead at the widest point. Generally the widest point will be somewhere about halfway between your eyebrows and your hairline. Write down the measurement.
4. Measure from the tip of your hairline to the bottom of your chin.
