Hairstyles and Noses
A: Rather than looking at specific features of the face and developing hairstyles 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.
That said, there are some standard tips for adjusting your look based on nose shape and structure:
Crooked noses usually call for asymmetrical, off-center styles or side-swept bangs as they attract the eye away from the center of the face. Any well-balanced, symmetrical 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 with gentle volume at the crown. Avoid sharp center parts, which create a direct vertical line that highlights nose width; instead, use a soft off-center or side part to visually elongate and balance the face.
Long narrow noses indicate that you should avoid haircuts that taper close to the head on the sides or which have excess height on top. You should also avoid sharp 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 hairstyles with side volume that direct the hair away from the face to create the illusion of wider facial features.
Prominent or large noses call for soft, layered cuts, gentle waves, or side-swept bangs to soften facial angles. Avoid slicked-back styles or heavy, blunt bangs, as both draw immediate focus to the nose.
Upturned or petite noses pair exceptionally well with soft pixies, short bobs, and swept-back styles that showcase delicate features without overcrowding the face.
