The most flattering hairstyles are determined by the shape of your face. While your hair type, skin tone, or the latest trend on social media may all be factors to consider, ultimately, if the hairstyle does not suit your face, it will not be a success. This analogy is similar to wearing a beautiful couture dress that does not complement your body type.
