Now before you choose a hair style you should always determine what face shape they have. There are 7 main face shapes that sims can have Round, Square, Oval, Heart, Triangular, Diamond and Long.
DETERMINING FACE SHAPE
ROUND
Round faced sims have smoothly curved lines and a round chin. The forehead and chin are both a bit wide and with slightly bigger cheekbones.
SQUARE
Square faces have a wide angular jaw, wide cheekbones and broad forehead.
OVAL
Sims with oval faces have a similar shape to round faced sims, but oval shaped sims have more of a longer shaped face then round faced sims. The chin and forehead of oval faces sims have the same width with a slightly wider cheekbones and smooth lines going down to the chin.
HEART
Heart shaped faces have a defined pointy narrow chin, wide forehead and with the cheekbones being the same width as the forehead or slightly wider.
TRIANGULAR
Triangle faced sims is the exact opposite of heart faced sims. Triangle faces have a broad angular jaw that narrows to a small forehead.
DIAMOND
Diamond faces have broad cheekbones, set off by a narrow chin and forehead.
LONG
Long faces maintain the same proportion throughout the forehead, cheekbones and chin have the same narrow width.
CHOOSING HAIRSTYLES
ROUND
Hairstyles that fall just below the chin like a long bob or soft adapted layers at shoulder lengths should suit round faced sims. Avoid one length, blunt cuts like a classic bob.
SQUARE
Try hairstyles with curls or long sleek cuts with layers that begin from the jawline. Stay away from clear blunt cuts, bangs and one length bob hairstyles which highlight your angular jaw rather than downplay it.
OVAL
Oval faced sims are probably the best because they suit any hairstyles! Just find the best feature of your sim and highlight it. Great bone structure? Consider an angular bob that complements your chin. Gorgeous eyes? Blunt or side-swept bangs will draw attention there.
HEART
Draw attention away from the chin with side swept bangs or brow-skimming bangs. A short fast cut is also a good choice. Avoid choppy layers that hit at the chin.
TRIANGULAR
Short haircuts with a lot of volume are ideal for triangular faces. You can also choose a long cut, as long as it hits at your collarbone or lower.
DIAMOND
Try to create width at the forehead with bangs and balance it out with layers that start at the chin.
LONG
Brow-skimming, side swept bangs or chin-length bobs are ideal for creating the illusion of width. Curls and waves also work well when adding width. Keep haircuts short never long because they tend to drag down the face. Pass up extreme styles and cuts that are longer than the collarbone.
I hope these hair style tips work for you <3 I will hopefully create another tutorial for choosing hair colours soon!
