Quick Guide To Identifying Face Shapes

Know your shape before you shop. It changes everything. Use a mirror. Pull your hair back. Check the lines.

  • Round: Equal length and width. Soft, curved jawline.
  • Square: Strong jaw. Broad forehead. Angular features.
  • Oval: Length is 1.5 times the width. Balanced proportions.
  • Heart: Wide forehead. Pointed chin. Widest at the brow.
  • Diamond: Narrow forehead and chin. Widest at the cheekbones.

Round Faces Create Length And Height

Round faces benefit from structure. The goal is to add definition. Avoid round, bulky items that add width to the cheeks.

  • Vertical accents: Use headbands with top knots. Draws the eye upward. Creates an illusion of height.
  • Side clips: Place barrettes high on the side of the head. Breaks up the circular silhouette.
  • Sleek designs: Opt for geometric shapes. Adds necessary angles to soft features.
  • High ponytails: Use the Back Tie Hair Accessory for a lifted look. Keeps hair off the face. Elongates the neck.
  • Top knot headbands: Choose dark colors for a slimming effect. Avoid oversized floral prints.

Styling Tips For Round Faces

Don't settle for flat hair. Volume is your friend.

  1. Use the LCD hair straightening comb to smooth the sides.
  2. Add a top-knot headband.
  3. Keep the sides tight to minimize width.

Square Faces Soften The Angles

Square faces have a powerful presence. Strong jaws and broad foreheads. The goal is to soften those sharp edges.

  • Rounded headbands: Use padded styles. Adds a soft curve to the top of the head.
  • Fabric textures: Silk or velvet headbands. The soft material contrasts with a sharp jawline.
  • Side-swept looks: Use clips to pull hair to one side. Breaks the facial symmetry.
  • Curved barrettes: Avoid sharp, square clips. Look for circles or ovals.
  • Wispy strands: Let hair fall around the face. Secure with the Love Star Hair Clip for a delicate touch.

Tools For Square Shapes

Oval Faces Enjoy Total Versatility

The oval shape is the "universal" face. Almost anything works. You have the freedom to experiment.

  • Bold headbands: Try thick, chunky styles. Your face can handle the volume.
  • Delicate pins: Use tiny pearls or rhinestones. Highlights natural symmetry.
  • Symmetry focus: Center-parted hair with matching clips on both sides.
  • Messy buns: Secure with large scrunchies. Adds effortless volume.
  • Turbans: Perfect for oval shapes. Wraps the head without overwhelming the features.

Because your shape is balanced, focus on matching your outfit. Check out the all products collection for variety.

Heart Faces Balance Forehead And Chin

Heart shapes are top-heavy. Wide brows and narrow chins. The goal is to balance the bottom half of the face.

  • Low placement: Wear clips and barrettes near the nape of the neck.
  • Wide headbands: Place them further back on the head. Avoid adding volume at the very top.
  • Side-swept fringes: Secure with a simple clip. Minimizes the width of the forehead.
  • Volume at the bottom: Use hairpins to hold curls near the jawline.
  • Avoid heavy crowns: Don't wear massive accents right on the forehead.

Balancing The Heart Shape

  • Focus on the lower half.
  • Use the dual-purpose electric hair comb to flare out the ends of your hair.
  • This adds width where you need it most: near the chin.

Diamond Faces Soften The Cheekbones

Diamond faces are widest at the cheeks. Forehead and chin are narrow. The goal is to add width to the top and bottom while softening the middle.

  • Side-placed bows: Draws the eye away from the widest part of the face.
  • Comb accessories: Tuck hair behind the ears. Secure with a decorative comb.
  • Avoid height: Tall headbands can make the face look too long.
  • Delicate chains: Hair jewelry that drapes down. Adds softness to the cheekbones.
  • Side-parted clips: Use the Love Star Hair Clip to keep a side part in place.

Choosing Colors Based On Skin Tone

Shape isn't everything. Color matters too. Keep it simple.

  • Cool Undertones: Silver, blue, emerald green, and black accessories.
  • Warm Undertones: Gold, bronze, peach, and olive green.
  • Neutral Undertones: Any color works. Go bold.

Matching your hardware (clips) to your jewelry (earrings) creates a polished look.

Best Practices For Using Hair Tools

Great accessories need a great base. Prepare your hair for the best result.

  • Straightening: Use the LCD hair straightening comb for a sleek, modern look. Perfect for geometric clips.
  • Curling: Use the Professional 9mm curling iron for texture. Better grip for barrettes.
  • Detangling: Start with a smooth base. Less breakage.
  • Volume: Back-comb slightly before adding a headband. Prevents slipping.
