Round face: French bun
Round face: French bun
We love Emilia Clark's hairstyle and it is perfect for the shape of her face. By having volume at the top, it visually "lengthens" your round face and flatters you a lot. Start by creping the hair around the crown and carefully comb it back. Gather all of your hair at mid-height and twist it to the right, twisting it until it is inserted below the left side. Secure with bobby pins and spray with hairspray.

Another good way to "style" a round face is with a semi-up. That is, leaving half of the hair loose and smooth, as Rachel Bilson does. You just have to gather the front strands behind the neck, leaving a central part that gives more verticality to the whole. You can put a small clip to hold the hair from behind, hairpins, form a bow and even braid it. It depends on you.
Round face: two little bows
Round face: two little bows
Sky Katz dares with one of the most daring hairstyles of the season. Divide the hair in two by making a zig zag parting, like yours, or straight if you don't want to complicate it more than necessary. Now, collect each side in a high ponytail and twist them into two little bows, fixing them with a rubber band. Make sure they are at the same height. This hairstyle favors round faces because it lengthens them and gives them a more triangular shape, making the jaw area appear thinner.
Square face: polished bow tie

The trick to make this hairstyle look good on faces with well marked jaws is to do like Bella Hadid and part the hair in the center. When combing backwards, instead of in a straight line, it is done obliquely. Thus the features are refined more and the result is more balanced. The height of the bow is optional but we like how the model wears it, with several "twists" in the middle of the head.

It is about softening and sweetening the face, so starting your updo with root braids on each side of the head, as Bella Heathcote has done here, is a guarantee of success. Braid to the end of the hair and gather the braids at the nape of the neck, forming a little bow if you have long hair. Another option is to hide the end of one under the beginning of the other.
Square face: high bun

We really like Alessandra Ambrosio's solution because it is one of the easiest to do and one of the most effective to visually "lengthen" the face. Collect all the hair in the crown area in a ponytail and leave the last round without taking it out, making sure it is vertical. Roll the excess ends over the rubber and hide the end underneath with bobby pins.
Elongated face: pigtail
Elongated face: pigtail
Pigtails are a wild hairstyle that can be worn throughout the year but, especially in summer, they save our lives. If you have a long face like Sarah Jessica Parker's, instead of bringing it to the height of the crown, do it just below and avoid adding volume to the top of the head. The key is that the hair is well glued to the head.
Elongated face: back
Elongated face: back
The wet look is one of the star hairstyles of this season and if you have a long face they will look as good as Judit. The key, as with the ponytail, is to avoid the volume at the top at all costs. To do this, comb well back using a comb and styling spray or gel. Make sure that the rest of the hair is visible behind the neck, this way you will create a greater balance in the whole.
Elongated face: clear side
Elongated face: clear side
If you have medium hair, you can do like the Anja Rubik top and pick up just one of the sides behind the ear. Thus, by leaving the side of the bangs loose, you will not be refining your face even more, but you will be giving it more dimension by leaving one side exposed.
Oval face: French braid
Oval face: French braid
This type of face can afford any hairstyle, but one of the most flattering is this one worn by Penelope Cruz. Leave a few strands loose in the area of the forehead and push the rest back. Start braiding at the crown and add new strands from the sides, as you go, until you reach the nape. Then continue braiding to the ends and place a rubber band. Now you can leave the hair as is or "save" the braid that is free under the one that is attached to the head.
Oval face: pin up
Oval face: pin up
This Marion Cotillard updo is one of the most daring and due to its volumes it only looks good to those lucky enough with a well-proportioned face. You have to start by splitting the hair in two in the center and rolling each part from the bangs backwards, using your fingers and gradually adding new strands. When you reach the nape area, finish wrapping all your hair around itself and hide it under the top one or form a little bow that is visible if you have very long hair.
Oval face: classic bun
Oval face: classic bun
This hairstyle is one of the most comfortable to wear at this time of year. Gather all your hair at the crown using your hands and make a ponytail. She begins to twist it on herself until she gets a little bow. When there is little hair left to roll, don't twist it so much and wrap it around the bun. Put an invisible rubber band (the kind of phone cord) to secure it and spray with hairspray.
Triangular face: crest
Triangular face: crest
If you have a triangular face, like Stella Maxwel's, one of the keys is to have your hair completely combed back, without parting. Divide the hair in two horizontally and collect it in two ponytails, without taking the last turns completely. Roll the excess over the rubber and voila!
Triangular face: high ponytail
Triangular face: high ponytail
If we saw that elongated faces have to leave their ponytails at half height, with triangular ones we can place them in the crown area. This refines the upper part of the face, which is usually wider than the chin, and creates a greater sense of balance.
Triangular face: braid-pigtail
Triangular face: braid-pigtail
Josephine Skriver also follows the maxim of bringing all the hair back and placing the ponytail high, only that she, instead of wearing it as it is, has finished it in a braid. Who said this hairstyle was not sophisticated?
When it gets really hot, we all tend to put our hair up. But depending on the shape of your face there are a series of updos that favor you more than others . And, thanks to hair we can play to create a balance that harmonizes our face and thus see ourselves much more beautiful and favored, as well as fresher, of course. Do you want to know the easiest and most flattering hairstyles according to the shape of your face? Keep reading!
What collection do I do in summer?
- Long face. Pigtails are always a good option, but if you have an elongated face you should place it at medium height, so that the rubber is not visible above the head or you will visually lengthen your face more . If you have medium hair, you can pick up one of the sides behind the ear to leave one side clear and that the hair that you wear does not refine your face even more.
- Square . Faces with marked features in the jaw area are more favored with hairstyles that soften them. A side parting is always a good option, as are root braids that end in a bun. Bringing all the hair back can also be a good idea, but always with a high bun or, failing that, leave a little part in the middle and comb in an oblique line.
- Oval . Women with an oval face can have the hairstyle they want and look gorgeous, because it is one of the most harmonious shapes. One of our favorites for this season is the root braid. Very practical and sophisticated.
- Round . Those with a round face can refine it by adding volume to the top of the head with a carding in the crown area or, for example, wearing two high bows on each side of the head.
- Triangular face. The key in these faces is to bring all the hair back and gather it at the top, either with bows, a ponytail or a braid.
