Determining Facial Shape


Determining if a long hairstyle for a round face is good requires knowing the shape of the face. The first step to determine the facial shape is to measure across the top of the cheekbones just past the outer corner of the eye and measure straight across the bridge of the nose to the outer side of the opposite eye.

Next, measure the jaw line by starting on one side of the jaw near the ear and run the measuring tape along the jaw to the center of the chin, then multiply that number by two,

The next step is to measure the forehead by starting on one side of the forehead at the widest point halfway between the hairline and the eyebrows and measure to the same point on the opposite side.

The last step is to measure the length of the face from the middle of the hairline, over the nose to the chin.

The results: The face is round if the width of the face is equal to the length of the face. Even if the totals are close, but not exact, the face is still considered to be round.
