This week on “Flair Yourself Friday” I would like to focus on all you lovely ladies with a beautiful rectangular face shape. You read the post on finding your face shape, did your homework and found that the length of your face is greater than the width; this means that you have a rectangular face shape.
One celebrity, Sarah Jessica Parker, has this amazing face shape! There are many fun and fantastic styles that you can do with a rectangular face shape and we are here to show you what they are.
Here are the dos of having a rectangular face shape.
- Go for short to medium length styles with long top layers and don’t have height at the top of your head. Go for wedges or graduated bob cuts.
- You want your hair to be chin or shoulder length where the ends are turned under or blasted out which both work well to add width to the base of your hair!
- You want your bangs cut blunt or straight across with a side part, since they work best with this face shape.
- Go for layered styles when sporting medium or long locks. Make sure to add body to your hair by having wavy and curly textures, because they are great for softening long lines on the rectangular face shape.
Here are the hair style don’ts when having a rectangular face shape.
- You never, ever, ever want hairstyles that add height to your face and are bulky on top.
- Don’t part your hair down the middle, or go without having bangs.
- Veer away from wispy chin length cuts that lack body or volume and don’t have width through the sides.
The worst thing you can do when having a rectangular face shape is to make it appear longer. Height is the obvious problem when sporting a cool ‘do with this face shape. When going short, or any length, make sure to avoid bulk at the top and add width at the base. Never go for flat hairstyles which make your face appear long.
Enjoy your new cut. With all these wonderful tips, you can have a fabulous style that compliments you and is all your own!







As we’ve been working on the blog and ourselves, I’ve been thinking a gimungo-ton (that’s an actual unit of measurement as far as I’m concerned) about things in my life, work and relationships that I’d like to see change or improve.
