How To Use Vintage Hairstyles For Shaping
Your Facial Features

A Large Lower Face With A Small Upper Head
A heavy lower face with a small upper head is shown in this illustration can be made to appear very mannish or harsh unless you take care to chose hairstyles that can be used to their greatest advantage. Puffing the hair out on the sides or exposing too much of the forehead area as in the next example should be avoided.

This hairstyle only widens the lower face

This style of vintage would be the most flattering. A much softer and feminine look is achieved. The style has hair well over the forehead, ears, cheeks, and encircling the eye area.

Narrow Lower Face With A Broad High Forehead
This is a very common facial shape encountered. The forehead is very high and very wide while the lower part of the face is very narrow.

A vintage hairstyle such as this is not the best choice for you. This style leaves a broad forehead exposed and emphasis the width.

This would be the style for you to try to achieve. The bags area falls in a large soft wave over the middle of the forehead, the hairstyle has height at the top and crown area. The side hair covers the ears and puffs out a little in that area. This creates a visual appearance of the wide forehead being narrower.
