Ladies Hairstyles for the Perfect Body Type

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and wondered, "Is my hair too long to match my height?" or "Is it too short to match my slim figure?" Yes, how we look with our hair is very important especially if you are a person who has a very busy schedule and prefers to just look at the mirror, shake your hair one time and be satisfied. It is very important that your hair looks gorgeous on you at any time of the day. But what happens if your hairstyle does not match your body type? Well, worry no more because we got answers for you.

Short/Petite Women

For those of you who are small-framed, scale your hairstyle choices down to match your proportions. Chin-to-shoulder-length styles are always appropriate for you. Wearing your hair too short gives you a look where your head appears to be disproportionately large, or if your hair is too long, then it makes you appear shorter.

Petite women should also choose styles with gentle wave patterns. Having heavily curled styles will make your head appear larger or make you look too-childlike.

Ruben-esque

Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), a Flemish painter, is known to have celebrated women in their full figure in his artwork, proving for posterity that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. However, women with larger builds need to be aware that their hairstyle can sometimes work against them unless if chosen carefully.

Full-figured ladies should avoid overly-voluminous hairstyles, also known as "big hair." Extra-volume translates to extra-weight on the face and the body. You should consider for a medium-length style with soft curves. A short-short hairstyle on a large-framed woman makes her head appear small, and often makes a fuller face appear jowly.

Slender/Willowy Women

While the full-figured woman needs a "slimmer" hair, the lender woman needs volume. For a slender woman, many lengths actually work well but volume should be given emphasis. Generally, neck-length or longer length looks great. Give it enough wave to give emphasis on a slender woman's curves.

Always bear in mind that 'proportion' is key to look great with your hair. Flat styles will make you appear stick-like while flowing curls can give the appearance of curve to the body lines. Even if you have a shorter hairstyle, a bit of volume can and curl can add fullness.

Tall/Athletic Women

This body type is what most ladies consider as the deal body type. Any ladies' hairstyle is suitable for this type of body. Yes, it is important to follow guidelines and strict proportions, but, long or short, regardless of the length, wavy, curly, or straight, the tall or athletic woman can always pull it off.

Can work it out? If not, visit a professional hair stylist to get a ladies' hairstyle that is perfect for you. Just remember, proportion is important, but looking good if more important. So, just make sure to feel confident of your choice and flaunt that strikingly gorgeous-looking face with that equally gorgeous hair around the city.
