It’s better to opt for either a center parting or a deep side parting if you have a round face. Middle parting provides a slimmer look to a round face. If you are not sure about which side is the best for a deep side parting, just cover one half of the face with paper while looking in the mirror. Both the sides of your face are not symmetrical and we bet you might even have a ‘favourite’ side.

A diamond shaped face has really nice and strong features. You have a strong jawline and cheekbones. To accentuate this feature, it’s best to opt for a side parting. Also, diamond shaped faces tend to have smaller foreheads so it’s better not to have bangs otherwise your face will look even smaller. But if you do have a fringe, just grow it out and go with a side swept hairstyle. Hairstyles with wavy textures look great on this face shape.
5. If your face is square shaped

If you have a triangle shaped face, you must have a prominent forehead. It’s best for you to have an off-center parting. Parting your hair slightly off the center line will help in balancing your features. You can even choose to have side bangs as they will cover your forehead and make it look narrower.
7. If you have an oblong face

For girls with oblong faces, it’s better to either part your hair from the middle or go ahead with bangs. You should opt between the two so that it adds the illusion of roundness. Bangs help in making your face look a tad shorter. Also, opt for a haircut with layers so that it brings out your strong cheekbones.
So girls, what’s the perfect part for your shape?
