Pear Shape Face Hairstyles
Human faces are shaped in particular shapes from being a round face to being a square face. Face shapes may also have heart shapes and pear shape. And there are hairstyles in particular which suit each frame of face to add to the beauty of the person. Your face shape is a major factor in the haircutting process, so it's important to have a true understanding of the shape, what its strongest features are, and what you may want to draw attention away from.
Pear/Inverted Heart - Widest at the jaw line with graduated narrowing upwards from the cheeks to the forehead. The pear-shaped face is narrow at the forehead and flares out to great width at the cheeks and jaw line. The right pear-shaped face hair cut can accentuate your features in a striking way. In general, the pear-shaped face features a distinctly narrow forehead. The cheekbones and jaw line essentially "flare out" to showcase a wider look, while the chin adopts a rounded shape. Haircuts with volume near the forehead work well on pear-shaped faces.
1) Exposing your forehead draws attention upward and away from a full jaw line, it also looks exceptionally flattering. Try pushing the hair back with a stylish head band or use a clip to hold bangs that are growing out in place.
2) Tuck your hair behind your ears. If your hair is on the longer side, tuck one side behind your ear to slim and elongate the cheekbones. Ideally, individuals with pear-shaped faces should avoid hair longer than the neckline (it accentuates the jaw's width).
3) Avoid excessive waves or curls. These tend to widen the chin and jaw lines.
4) Avoid hair that is all one length and opt instead for a layered cut.
5) Avoid parting hair in the center.
The objective of a great pear-shaped face hair cut is to create width at the temples and forehead and an illusion of sleekness along the jaw line and cheeks – essentially, a look of symmetry on the top and bottom is what you're after. The right cut will also suggest the illusion of an oval face shape. A short, full side swept hair can even out a pear face shape. A wedge cut is also ideal for pear-shaped faces. An updated take on this flattering style will work wonders in training all the attention on your best features. Wedge cuts, also known as "stacked" cuts, require a precise cut that reveals one layer of hair cut just slightly longer than the layer before it. The result is a graduated look that relies on a "weight line" to determine where the layers should stop. This style suits pear-shaped faces well and is also very easy to care for.
Creating some height and fullness at the top of the head really balances. If you have bangs, angle them slightly and tuck them behind the ears to frame the jaw line and draw attention upward. While height is good, too much fullness at the crown is not. If you do choose to go with a longer hairstyle, keep the hair as close to your head as possible; anything too voluminous will add weight to the bottom of the face.
