How to Find a Wedding Hairstyle for a Diamond-Shaped Face

Side-part straight bangs lend symmetry and elegance to diamond-shape faced brides.

Flag this photo

If you have a diamond-shaped face, your choices for wedding hairstyles are endless. Women with this angular face have wide cheekbones with a small chin and narrow forehead. You should opt for hairstyles that reduce the overall length of your face and cheekbones, while balancing your other facial features. Additionally, your wedding hairstyle should harmonize with your hair length and your choice of bridal attire.

Opt for a rounded and layered bob hairstyle that reaches your chin, if you have short hair. Choose side-part straight bangs to reduce the overall length of your diamond-shaped face and give it a symmetrical look. This hairstyle compliments an elegant, simple-cut wedding gown.

2

Style shoulder-length hair into a wispy cut with side bangs in front. This hairstyle works well with all hair textures. It makes the forehead and chin area appear proportional, while the wisps around the shoulders contribute to an appealing, square look. The wispy look blends well with a country-style wedding gown, such as a high-waist wedding frock or period-influenced gown. Use a hairpin to attach a few small flowers to your hair, to add a touch of class and vibrancy.

3

Create layered bangs with long hair and tuck the hair on the sides behind the ears. This style drapes the shoulders and suits wavy- and curly-haired brides, too. It accentuates the cheekbones and makes the narrow areas of the face look wider. If you have wavy or curly hair, you can attach a headpiece on the side of your hair. Choose a headpiece that complements your wedding gown, such as a pearl comb or flower barrette.

4

Use soft waves or loose curls to style long hair. This style will give you a demure, bridal look and reduce the wide appearance of your cheeks.

5

Style your hair into an updo for a dramatic look. You can use a wig or extensions if you want to add extra length. Braid the hair at the back in styles of your choice. Ensure that the hair covers your neck area when styled to prevent your face from looking too wide. Updos work well with ball-style wedding gowns.

Tips & Warnings

Avoid hairstyles that lend height to your head, such as the spiky look. Such hairstyles will make your face look longer that it actually is.

Hairstyles With Bangs for Relaxed Hair

Professionally relaxed bangs stay silky and manageable long after initial treatment.

Flag this photo

Relaxing your hair allows you to manage fluffed bangs that won’t behave. It also opens up a wide range of hairstyles for you to enjoy that you couldn’t accomplish with overly fluffed or kinky hair. Be gentle with your hair when choosing a style, though, or you may leave it damaged after it goes through the strenuous relaxing process.

A modern bob can lengthen a chubby face and accentuate a long throat. Cut your hair to be jaw-length. It can be a little longer, but it should never reach your shoulders. Add pencil-straight bangs that end just below your eyebrows to the mix. This creates a sleek, ultra-modern look. Treat the hairstyle with leave-in conditioner as well as hair gels that keep down errant strands. This maintains the high-gloss look you wish to maintain with a modern hairstyle.

Updo

Relaxed hair can easily work as an updo, but you need to treat it kindly to reduce the chance of kinking. A simple updo makes your bangs stand out and grab attention. Place a dime-sized drop of anti-frizz serum in your hands. Rub your hands together and drag them through your hair starting at the roots and working out to the tips. Pull your hair back into a loose bun, ponytail or braid. Brush it as you pull it back to ensure that it is smooth and shiny.

Windblown Look

Rearranging your bangs can reshape the entire look of your face. If you’ve enjoyed a ride in a convertible, you know how much the wind can reshape your bangs and change the look of your face. Relaxed hair hangs loosely, so you may need to use product to persuade your hair to stay shaped the way you desire. Part your hair on the left side. Place a small bit of mousse on your hands and rub them together. Swipe the bangs to either side of your head. Swoop one side of the bangs over your face. Shake up your hair at the back of your head, adding curls and a messy appearance.

Smooth and Simple

Sometimes leaving your hair down is the best way to take advantage of the relaxed hair look. It will hang down your shoulders and shine brightly. Lightly tousle your hair with some anti-frizz serum on your hands. Comb your hair straight starting at the ends and moving up to the part in the scalp. Brush your bangs down next, either bringing them down pencil-straight across your forehead or parting them off to the sides. Leaving them straight across your forehead keeps with the smooth look of your hair, but the separated bangs can fluff up and give you a new texture for your hairstyle that draws attention to your face.

The term "emo" is short for emotional and was derived from the 80s punk music scene. Many young people wear emo-style clothes and hairdos today. Emo hairstyles can be achieved by people with almost any hair type. Preparing the hair before styling is important. Emo hair can be worn straight, with bangs or spiky. Hair length can vary and expressing one’s own individuality is encouraged. Maintaining an emo look at home doesn't require teasing and is possible with the use of a few styling products available at many drug stores and supercenters.

Gothic Hairstyles for Girls With a Full Face

There are many varieties of Gothic style.

Flag this photo

Goth Girls with fuller figures and faces can successfully go Gothic with the right hairstyle, makeup and accessories. Gothic style does not require skinny or gaunt vampire-like features. Thin is optional, but pale against dark is a requirement for a classic Goth hairstyle. Midnight black hair color with razor sharp bangs can add the necessary touch of dark mystery to a round face. Romantic ringlets can create a dark Victorian Goth look that complements full cheeks. The layered and choppy cut typical of Emo-punk Goth style flatters round and oval face shapes.

Related Searches: Classic Goth

Classic-modern Goth hair has sharp bangs with a straight, chin or shoulder length bob. Hair should be deep black or a rich cherry-dark hue against pale skin. Round faces and full cheeks contrast well with the severe styling and rigid lines of the bangs. The deep colors also diminish the softness of full facial features making them appear more uniform.

Emo-Goth

Basic dark on white still applies to Emo-Goth hairstyles, but splashes of color are allowed. Dark reds or vibrant and unnatural greens and blues can be added in streaks for the essential emo look. Many Emo-Goth hairstyles can complement a full, round face. Start by cutting hair in short layers starting close to the scalp and work your way down. The hair nearest the crown of your head will stand up and only gradually fall as you get closer to the ends. Add color to alternate layers. This will create a wild and full halo of hair that will make a very full face look narrower. The bright colors will also draw attention from an overly round face.

Steampunk-Goth

Steampunk Gothic is loosely based on fashions and trends from the Victorian era. Steampunk hairstyles are dark and elaborate and usually require longer hair. Victorian retro hairstyles complement full faces well. The Gibson girl hairstyle was popular around the turn of the century and can be adapted for a vintage Goth look. Hair must be very dark, either naturally or dyed a flat black. Gather long hair away from the face and twist into a bun high on the crown of the head. The bun should be as loose and messy as possible. Crimping with a hot curler or iron to increase the disheveled appearance of the hair is optional. Accessorize with faded antique jewelry or torn ribbons for a true steampunk effect.

Tribal-Goth

There are Tribal Gothic hairstyles for all facial types and many are suitable for full faces. Braids, dreads and hair-elaborate-ornamentation are all hallmarks of Tribal Goth style. Cluster bunches of braids and intricate dreadlocks around the face to minimize overly full features. Pair sharply cut bangs with ethnic or handcrafted hair accessories. Add historically inspired hair extensions such Celtic knot extensions or renaissance hair braids.

40s Bun Hairstyle

1940s updos featured curls.

Flag this photo

Women's hairstyles of the 1940s featured structured curls or waves and pinned updos. To create an authentic 1940s style, stay away from a tight ballerina bun, instead gathering your hair into a loose bun called a chignon. In the front, pin curls or marcel waves will give your hairdo 1940s panache. A cascade of pin curls over the forehead is a good choice for short or layered hair, while tidy marcel waves work well in long hair.

Related Searches:Difficulty:ModerateInstructions Things You'll NeedHairbrushWide-toothed combHairsprayFirm-set gel or mousseSetting or styling lotionSpray bottle filled with waterBobby pinsHair clipsHair elastic or ponytail holderHand mirrorSuggest EditsPin Curls1

Create pin curls in the front if you have short or layered hair. Comb damp hair until it's smooth and spray it with setting lotion.

2

Take a small section of hair and coil it completely around your finger. Lay the curl flat against your head and pin it into place with a bobby pin. For tight curls, make small coils of hair. Larger coils of hair will create looser curls.

3

Repeat with all the hair on the front top of your head. Blow-dry the curls on high heat and low air until completely dry, or cover your hair with a scarf and leave the pin curls in place overnight.

4

Remove the bobby pins. For tight, distinct curls, do not comb out your hair. For looser curls, comb very gently, taking care not to comb the curls out. Spritz with hairspray.

Marcel Waves1

Make marcel waves if you have long hair. Spray the front of your hair with water until slightly damp, and apply gel, mousse or setting lotion. Gently comb hair and create a side part

2

Form hair into a C-shaped wave on one side of the head. Secure the wave into place with a hair clip. Place the hair clip at the inner edge of the wave.

3

Make another wave, this time facing in the opposite direction, just below the first to create an S shape. Secure the wave with a hair clip. Make a third wave below the second, if you have room.

4

Repeat on the other side of the part, creating two or three waves. Leave the hair clips in place until the hair is completely dry and the waves are set. Remove the clips and mist the waves with hairspray for extra staying power.

Chignon1

Pull your hair to the center back of your head into a ponytail. Work carefully to avoid disturbing your marcel waves or pin curls in the front. Secure the ponytail with a hair elastic.

2

Divide the ponytail into two sections of hair, an upper and a lower.

3

Loop the top section of hair up and over, until the ends of your hair are touching the base of the ponytail. Secure the roll of hair with two or more bobby pins. If your hair is very long, roll the hair over on itself to create a manageable loop of hair.

4

Loop the bottom section of hair down and under, securing the loop to the bottom base of the ponytail with bobby pins.

5

Pull and adjust the top loop of hair until it extends across the back of your head, using a hand mirror to guide your work. The loop will touch your head on each side of the ponytail. Using bobby pins, pin the edges of the hair to the sides of your head until it stays in place. Repeat with the bottom loop of hair. Adjust the chignon until it looks right, adding bobby pins to shape it as necessary. Mist the chignon with hairspray.

Tips & Warnings

Adorn your bun with vintage hairpins, flowers or small bows for extra 1940s flair.

Protect your hairdo from the elements with a vintage silk hair scarf tied under the chin or at the nape of the neck.

What Kind of Hairstyle Helps a Cowlick in the Crown?

Cowlicks occur when areas of hair grow in a specific direction -- often against the flow of all the other hair.

Flag this photo

Choosing a hairstyle is difficult enough: everyone has a different face shape, personality and hair type, so picking the right style is a challenge. But when you add a cowlick into the mix, this challenge can be amplified, as now you've got to cater to a stubborn patch of hair that might not easily comply with your desired style. However, there are many styles you can choose from to tame your indignant locks and come out looking great.

Related Searches:Difficulty:EasyInstructions Things You'll NeedMirrorCombHair sprayHair gelSuggest Edits1

Determine what kind of cowlick you have. Cowlicks typically grow in a specific direction that is against the flow of the rest of the hair, or they sometimes grow in a circular swirl pattern.

2

Decide your preferred length. Cowlicks, especially those on the crown, are most easily conquered by either by short buzz cuts or long strands to add weight.

3

Cut your hair to the desired length. If it's a buzz cut, your cowlick should be defeated. If you've opted for a longer route, evaluate how much of the cowlick is still presenting a problem.

4

Tease your hair just slightly at the roots of the crown to add volume. Then spray with a light mist of hair spray. This will help disguise the cowlick. Or, if you'd prefer, apply hair gel or paste to the problem area to help weigh down the stray strands.
