If you want to take your look to a whole new level, an updo is your way to go! However, you should keep in mind that the one you choose should be flattering to your face shape, just like when you’re getting a haircut. In fact, each face shape has unique features and to highlight them in the best way possible, we will take you through the perfect hairstyle for each of them. Let’s go!

Square or rectangular faces stand out by their angular chin and strong jawline, so the best updo is the one that softens these features. Therefore, a low chignon style would definitely help to successfully achieve this result, especially when paired with a few tendrils taken out to appropriately frame the face.

If your face is round-shaped, you might feel that no updo suits you but you’re absolutely wrong. In fact, a messy one will elongate it and here’s a bonus: it’s the easiest one to pull off!

A face that goes really well with a hairstyle that best describes it, the heart-shaped one is made for romantic updos. We can’t deny the fact that you can pull off almost any style, but a romantic updo will be the best to make your facial features all the more charming. To soften your forehead and highlight your cheekbones and jaw line, leave some stresses loose around your face.

If you have an oval-shaped face, you have the privilege of indulging in the trend of the moment, the sleek updo – among a wide variety of styles. This hairstyle will perfectly highlight your flawless face features, so don’t hesitate to show it off by keeping any strands out of it.

Last but not least, here’s something for those with a diamond face shape. Your unique face actually calls for a less traditional updo and a half-up style is the best one for you. It will perfectly balance the width of your cheekbones while adding some volume to your crown.
