Hairstyles and Noses
Q: I need some information on different types of noses and how to do your hair according to your type of nose.
A: Rather than looking at specific features of the face and developing hair styles to coincide with them, the focus of the stylist is
on the overall balance of the facial features and the shape of the face. The goal is to create a balanced silhouette that creates the
appearance of an oval face shape.
The problem with trying to specify hair styles and cuts to specific shapes and topographies of
specific features is that it doesn’t take into account the bigger picture of the face. The net result would be a confining of options
and an increase in bad choices made based solely on a specific feature.
That being said, there are a few standard rules for compensating with “special considerations and
features” as they regard to the nose:
Crooked noses usually call for asymmetrical, off-center styles as they attract the eye away from
the nose. Any well-balanced style will accentuate the fact that the face is uneven.
Wide-flat noses call for a style in which the hair is drawn away from the face. A center part
should be used to create a vertical line for the eye to elongate and narrow the appearance of the nose.
Long narrow noses indicate that you should avoid styles that taper close to the head on the sides
or which have height on top. You should also avoid center parts and styles that direct too much hair toward the face. These styles
will only exacerbate the long, narrow features of the face. Use styles that direct the hair away from the face, to create the illusion
of wider facial features.
