Hair contouring: here's how to change face with hair color!

No targeted brushstrokes or plays of light and shadows with highlighter and blush strokes, this time the contouring technique provides ad hoc lightening and coloring for the hair. Yes, you got it right. The principle is the same: highlighting the qualities of the face with points of light and minimizing its defects, relying on dark colors, with the aim of making the oval more harmonious. It is simply a matter of understanding the type of face you have - round, square, long or heart-shaped - identify strengths and imperfections, and then act accordingly by balancing correctly between light and dark to obtain an improvement in proportions.

For hair contouring to bear fruit, it is basically enough that you respect this basic rule: act with dark tones where you want to limit and hide and go with highlights in the parts of the face that you want to highlight. For example, if if you have a long face or in the shape of a heart or diamond, it would be desirable to choose a dark tone in the upper part of the head and light colors on the sides, in this way, by choosing bright shades in the central part, the cheekbones will be enhanced and the " impression of an enlargement, thus contrasting the verticality of the face.

If the face is round - or square - instead, we will proceed in the opposite way: having to stretch to give an elongation effect, the brightness will have to focus on the upper part, leaving the darker tones on the lengths instead. In this case, the lateral tufts are excellent with important lightening that redefine the proportions, lengthening the oval.

Obviously because the hair contouring can be achieved successfully, the ideal would be to have long or medium-long hair, considering that the effect of this coloring technique is played out entirely on contrasts of light and shadow positioned at different levels of the hair as needed.

Here are some examples of hair contouring based on different face types.
