Now a fashion accessory in its own right, the glasses are no longer hidden and can be highlighted by the hairstyle. Our advice to choose the one that will be best for you.
Do not think of being limited in your hairstyle options simply because you wear glasses! It will only be necessary to ensure that the chosen cut goes perfectly with your face and the pair you wear. “Everything is a question of proportions between the neck, the cheeks, the cut and the shape of glasses“Explains Delphine Courteille, Hair Stylist at L’Oréal Professionnel.” It will then be necessary to adapt the haircut Depending on, so as to always counterbalance the shape of the face, which cannot be changed. “
The shape of the face
Thus the round faces will try to bring to the maximum length and volumewith for example a long square or even curly hair, and will avoid the very short smooth square with round glasses, which would still accentuate the roundness of their features.
Long faces, on the contrary, will seek amplify the roundness To balance their natural length, with for example a bowl cut which will compensate out hollow cheeks, a pixie cut or an ultra trendy 90s square, cut just below the ears. However, you will avoid keeping hair too long, with a line in the middle and large 70s glasses: a losing combo that would only lie down your features.
The shape of the glasses
Still in this perspective of respect for the proportions, you will not choose the same hairstyles according to the shape of the glasses you wear. Because if it is obviously a question of having fun, and of selecting the pair which you like best and which corresponds most to your style, you will then have to style your hair so as to put it as much as possible.
We like for example the Retro look of butterfly glasseswhich will suit the rounded faces perfectly and which you can associate for example with a banana bun. With Thick frame glassesthat we see everywhere, you will have to make sure to free the face as much as possible with a high ponytail, a low bun or even squarely a cut in the boy.
As of colorful glassesthey will be ideal for attracting the gaze and making you forget for example a very assertive chin.
Errors to avoid
If we can perfectly opt for The fringe When we wear glasses, we will however avoid the too long fringewhich would suffocate the face somewhat. “Opt for a shorter bangs on the front and a little longer on the sides, at Jeanne Damas”, advises Delphine Courteille. “It works very well with glasses.”
Likewise Avoid too much volume In your hairstyle, especially if you have curly hair, and prefer pretty undulations like a wavy that will not overload your look.
If you only wear your glasses occasionally, do not forget to have them with you when you go to the hairdresser, so that he can adapt the cut accordingly.
