Here are 5 hairstyles (and a bonus) that you can try out based on all the questions above. Take a look:

Crochet Braids

This hairstyle was popular last year and it is still a hit among fashionistas. It is very easy to rock and you have the luxury of carrying it for about 3 weeks to 1 month. It takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour to fix as it is a weave that comes pre-processed. All the stylist has to do is wash your hair, dry and weave into sections after which a little crochet needle will be used to fix it to your hair. Just spray every morning and you are good to go.

Pixie Cut

There is nothing like a haircut that frames your face. Don’t panic, no strand of natural hair will be harmed in the making of this beautiful hairstyle. This hair option is one that requires the expertise of a good stylist who will look at the shape of your face, pick a suitable weave, fix and cut with nimble fingers. You can go for a weave-on that has different colours for that oomph that will make you stand out everywhere you go. This hairdo is almost a breeze as it takes about 1 hour to fix. However, you may want to go with a very light and skin friendly weave-on to avoid prolonged sweating especially if the weather is not so friendly.

Natural Hair

Don’t roll your eyes; this option is not a bad idea at all as you get the chance to pay more attention to your own hair the way you want. This is for patient and adventurous people who have suddenly become tired of relaxers and processed products. You stand the risk of leaving foreigners asking to have a feel of the miracle growing out of your scalp (good attention…lol). In addition, you can go for this option to switch things up a bit and do something unexpected. The first step is the big chop which involves trimming the relaxed part of your hair off while allowing your hair to grow without a chemical touch. A word of caution though, this will take a lot of dedication and research as you constantly have to look out for natural hair food while doing a lot of washing. However, you get the chance to brag and inspire others to take a bold step. Think about it!

Braids

Popularly known as Bob Marley because of the loose feel that comes with it, this hair-do is not for the faint of heart. This hairdo may cost good money and it takes hours to get it done depending on the size, length, and number of choice. The versatility it presents is very encouraging as you have the liberty to style it in many ways and you can rock it for different occasions. You also get the chance to carry it for a longer time with the help of a solid hand dryer & sweet-smelling hairspray. If you have the grits to sit, you can give it a try and play with colours while at it.

Low Cut

This is a big one for anybody and it may require a lot of thinking and re-thinking to reach this point. Many women complain about the heat and consider the beauty of feeling cold water on their scalp every morning and evening. If you belong to that class, this is your best bet. Going for a low-cut may have a note of finality but there are ways to bring adventure into the mix. Try colours, a little tint (if you are not too adventurous) or a total dyeing (if you are a wild one) will help you bring your A-game to the fore. You can also go the Anita Baker route or do a little fade if you like it. Just add huge earrings and top-notch makeup and you are sure to set the pace any day and anytime. Own the show!

Bonus: We are not done ladies; we saved the best for the last. The last but not the least option will be wigs. Wigs have been saving lives for ages. They come in different colours, lengths, and styles. The best part is the opportunity to own as many wigs as you want and you get to take it off whenever you like. Talk about playing dress up. Whatever you decide, you will come out looking snatched for the gods.

So what are you waiting for? Choose what you want and let your crown glitter.

Determining your face shape is a simple equation of proportions. Research has shown that the most common face shape is Oval, others include; Round, Square, Heart, Diamond, Oblong, and Triangle/Pear face shape.

To know your face shape, pull your hair back into a ponytail, and analyze your face dimension based on the reflection of what you see in the mirror. These features best describe either of the six categories your face falls into.

Oval: Forehead may be slightly wider than the chin, and the length of the face is about one and a half times the width.

Round: Prominent, rounded cheeks with equal width and length of the face.

Square: Prominent jaw and square chin, with forehead and jawline roughly the same width.

Oblong: Often confused for the oval face, though an oblong face will have a longer shape that is not as wide as oval — often with a narrow chin.

Heart: Wider forehead, face gently tapes down to the chin/cheekbones with a narrow jawline and chin.

Diamond: Narrow forehead and jawline with cheekbones at the widest point of the face.

Triangle/Pear: Forehead and cheekbones are narrow with a wide jawline

Now, that we have successfully identified our face shape. Taking cues from Youbeauty and Glamour magazine, we move onto the perfect hairstyle that best suit each face.

Hairstyles for an Oval Face

Ladies with oval face can pull off any hair style: because of the shape of their face they actually have a great range of options.
According to award-winning hairdresser, Lee Stafford “A wavy lob is a great style for oval face shapes and they are so on trend right now. Waves can add volume and bring out the cheekbones which make oval faces look slightly more rounded, rather than adding length to it.” 

Hairstyles For a Round Face

A short sharp hair cut like the pixie is a perfect style for a round face. Their hair style shows angles and adds definition.
Alternatively, if a pixie is a little extreme for you, Lee suggests the following: “Long layers that start below the chin are great for round faces. They need to be angled outwards rather than inwards though as this will help to open up the face and make it look longer.”

Hairstyles For a Square Face

For square faces, it’s all about finding a style that will soften the edges. Embrace round, flattering cuts and opt for a classy fringe look which pulls your features together giving a more defined roundness.

Hairstyles For an Oblong Face

Almost every lady desires to have the oblong face shape because of its graceful bone structure. This face shape is considered the most regal of all.  Its features include- A strong jaw, elongated forehead, and broad cheekbones with a much narrower width than height.

A soft wavy hairstyle with big bangs will really suit this our face shape. The bangs help to shorten the overall length of the face while the layers help add body and bounce creating needed width. This shape will work in straight or curly textures.

Hairstyles For a Heart Face

Some heart faces can be long or rounded.  For your hairstyles, ensure you avoid the fringes/bangs because the tend to give more volume and height to your face. Wear weaves with the centre part and curls in the same shape. They make your face appear soft.

Hairstyles For a Triangular/Pear Face

With this face shape, When you wear your hair pulled back into a ponytail, ensure you have either a fringe, or a few wisps of hair that go past your jaw to soften your jawline. A centre part with long straight but layered hair can work well to reduce your jaw lines.

Hairstyles For  a Diamond Face

The most unique of all face shapes. You need a hairstyle that will balance out your narrow chin, minimize the wide cheek bones and shorten your overall face length. What your diamond face needs is proportion and weaves with bangs do just that. Apart by the side of your weaves will soften the edges and angles of your face. You can also get away with a ponytail look or wear your hair off your face.
