General scheme
For girls with a pear-shaped face, choosing a successful hairstyle is not an easy task. But, if you understand what needs to be hidden, and what to highlight, then you can create a very stylish and attractive image.
A pear-shaped face is when the widest part is below the cheeks at the level of the cheekbones, but above the chin, while the forehead is relatively narrow. There are a number of techniques and haircuts that will create the illusion of an oval or circle shape.
Bangs for a pear-shaped face
Thick straight bangs
These bangs form a clear horizontal line at the eyebrows. This visually expands the upper half of the face, which balances it with the lower half and brings it closer to the circle.
If you make a thick bang not straight, but slightly rounded, then this technique will create the illusion of an oval.
Long bangs that frame the face on the sides
Bangs of this shape will gently correct the shape of the face. The main thing when choosing it is to remember several important points. Firstly, the main length of the bangs should be below the cheekbones, otherwise, the emphasis will fall on unwanted facial features. Secondly, the hair must be divided not into even parts, but with an advantage in one direction. Keep the strands straight as the curls will add width.
Long asymmetrical bangs
Long oblique bangs are a great idea for a pear-shaped face. Her strands should end at eye level or just below the cheekbones.
Architectural bangs
Textured bangs are also able to present a pear-shaped face in a winning light. The main rule is that it should be laid so as to go beyond the narrow forehead. This technique is often used by Kelly Osbourne.

A few basic secrets for choosing a hairstyle for a pear-shaped face
- The haircut should not be too short. Choose a hair length that covers your ears.
- Give preference to the side parting.
- It is desirable that the strands of the hairstyle hide wide cheekbones and frame the face.
- Experiment with complex, asymmetrical shapes.
Very short hairstyles, hairstyles that add volume to the cheekbones, smoothly combed hair and a straight parting are not suitable for "pears".
Below are some examples of hairstyles to avoid.
