Vintage Hairstyles For Your Profile
Your Profile
Your profile or the side view of your head is worth a close look for a vintage hairstyle.
Any prominent features you have are so easily accentuated if you do not know your face shape from all angles, but particularly from your profile.
At this view our nose is undoubtedly the most pronounced feature.
If you do have a nose that is well proportioned and shaped you are very lucky and do not have to be as concerned as the majority of women.
The following are the most common concerns of women and in choosing style for their profile.

A Long Drooping Nose
In this illustration we have a nose that is liberally long, and the point of this nose is somewhat drooping.
This feature can also be found with a receding forehead so that the nose and forehead seemingly form a straight line.
This is very much the wrong hairstyle for this face shape.
The vintage hairstyle of flat waves over the forehead and the severe lines of a turned in coiffure or a french twist, flat at the neck and projecting at the crown of the head cause the nose to look even more pronounced.
A less severe vintage hairstyle consisting of a low knot at the nape of the neck and more fullness of the hair over the forehead area.
You can visually see the drastic changes between these two styles in the side profile.

A Short Or Pug Nose
As with a long nose a short or pug nose does not look its best with any severe treatment of a hairstyle around the face.
This vintage hairstyle arranges the hair too severe and serious for this type of nose.
This is a vintage hairstyle that works to have the face appear much more interesting and the shape of the nose less conspicuous.
The style brings the hair in a soft fluffy manner to and over the forehead area, where it forms a puff, or "pouf"

A Long Chin
An extremely long and protruding chin will appear still longer if the hairstyle is not suitable.
In this illustration the hair is styled too flat on the top and the forehead.
By styling the hair backward the line between the ear and chin has become unnecessarily long.
This is corrected in this illustration by having the hair styled forward and arranged over the cheek areas.
This shortens the line.
By the use of a low chignon on the back of the head, and by arranging the front hair a little higher and more fluffy, the entire head becomes perfectly balanced and the length of the chin is not at all obvious.

You can see from these examples how the arrangement of your hairstyle can en chance the natural beauty of your face or improve imperfect shapes and features.
This truly is, where art and hair meet.
