- rectangular face.

How to choose haircuts for curly hair?
Choosing the right haircut for yourself is not so easy. To do this, you need to take into account a lot of different factors.
Be sure to take into account these important points:
Face type. This is the first and most important nuance that you should focus on when choosing the optimal haircut for curly hair. For example, girls with a round face shape will suit a side parting and a medium-length hairstyle without bangs. A very narrow and elongated face can be easily balanced with a voluminous and fairly short haircut that reaches approximately the length of the earlobes. A heavy chin or pear-shaped face can be corrected with a cascading hairstyle with quite a lot of volume at the crown. In short, each face type needs its own haircut, and only an experienced and qualified hairdresser can choose it correctly.
Features of the figure. A competent selection of a haircut should be based not only on an analysis of the type and shape of the face, but also on the woman’s physique. Fragile and petite girls will look good with short hairstyles or medium-length haircuts. Very long strands in this case will look disproportionate. Women of large build are not recommended to have very short haircuts, this will also disrupt the harmonious proportions of the body. Large beauties should choose calm, neutral haircuts of medium length. Happy owners of tall stature and a model figure can afford any hairstyle.
Hair structure. Curly hair can be very different in its characteristics and structure. It can be a light wave, an elastic curl, small curls, or fluffy curls. Each hair type has its own haircut options. For example, a playful pixie hairstyle looks especially good on fairly large curls. And the long bob is a great haircut for curly, fluffy hair. Be sure to consult with your hairdresser and discuss this issue before you start cutting.
Life style. When thinking about choosing a new haircut, be sure to think about what kind of image you want to end up with (strict, romantic, avant-garde, etc.), how much time, effort and money you are willing to spend on styling, what is your pace of life, etc. d. All these questions are very important when choosing a hairstyle. For example, if you have a lot of things to do and a crazy pace of life, you are unlikely to want to get a hairstyle that requires a couple of extra hours a day to style. In addition, the haircut should always look appropriate. Original and unusual options (for example, a haircut with shaved temples and the back of the head) are good for a young student or a creative person, but on an office employee or teacher such hairstyles look ridiculous. Remember that your haircut is an important part of your look and should fit perfectly with your lifestyle.
Hair condition. Many people overlook this factor, although it is also very important. If your hair is damaged by numerous heat styling, coloring and other influences, you may want to think about giving yourself a fairly short haircut. Very damaged hair is unlikely to be completely restored, so it is not worth growing long hair on such hair. It is better to cut off damaged hair, and then purposefully grow healthy hair, taking care of it and protecting it from harmful influences.
Volume of hair. This is a painful question for many curly girls. Typically, curly hair is quite voluminous on its own. It is not advisable to give them additional volume by cutting them. Most often, girls, on the contrary, dream that their curly hair will become a little less voluminous and lighter. If you are also one of these women, you can get a medium-length haircut with graduations. And be sure to ask the stylist to profile your hair to ensure lightness and comfort.
Taking these nuances into account, you can decide on the desired haircut shape and create an ideal and harmonious image for yourself.
