The best cuts and hairstyles for your face shape

MAKING THE CUT

It’s the season for change and a new haircut is the quickest way to solidify your it-girl status. Sally Hershberger (the celeb stylist credited with taking care of Rene Zellwegger and Kate Moss’s tresses) gives us the scoop on which haircut and products will work on you.

The Bob
A classic cut perfect for women of all ages, Hershberger says the bob works best on normal to thin hair. “Use a shine spray when styling to get incredible shine and smoothness,” says Hershberger.

FLAREpick: AbbaPure Shine Spray, $15. 1-800-387-7980.

Curly
Curly hair is often thick and coarse. Hershberger recommends cutting long layers (the shortest shouldn’t be above your chin). Her favourite product to use on textured hair is her primer for wavy hair. “[The primer] will loosen up curls and add shine,” says Hershberger. Using a couple squirts of primer, rake the product through your hair with your hands.

FLAREpick: Sally Hershberger Style Primer for Wavy Hair, $12. Available across Canada at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Straight with Bangs
Bangs make a statement and can modernize drab hair in just a few snips. Straight, medium to thick hair is best for a full fringe of bangs like Naomi Campbell’s. “I love this length; I like it hitting right over the brow,” says Hershberger. “I think it’s sexy.” The pro stylist recommends a round brush to loosen up flat-as-a-board bangs without making them too curved.

FLAREpick: MonroeParis Je t’aime Brush, $36. 1-877-BRUSH-01.

    What I'd really like to see is an article about the face shapes of nonmodels and the hairstyles that flatter them. This so-called article was just a waste of space and a couple of minutes that I'll never get back.

    Where does it say anything about face shapes except the title? All of the models have gaunt oval faces.
