So, you just bought a fabulous pair of eyeglasses. They look great with your face shape, coloring and style. The only problem is your hairstyle isn’t going well with the new frames.
Here are some tips on matching your hairstyle to your glasses.
As a glasses wearer, you already know how difficult it is maintaining a fabulous hairdo if you have to constantly take your glasses on and off. This messes up the ‘do you spent so much time perfecting. Go for a hairstyle that keeps the hair away from your glasses, this will help the strands stay put.
Keep your bangs trimmed often, as they may interfere with your glasses and can look unkept if left too long. Bangs look great with light frames, so avoid large glasses, or frames that are too thick and heavy if you have bangs.
Color
If you normally keep your hair the same color, select a frame that will match your hair color, or complement it. Brown hair looks great with metal or dark frames. Blonde hair looks good with transparent or very light frames. Redheads look good in just about any color except white or yellow.
Style
When styling your hair for glasses, make sure the hairdo is in balance with the frame. When wearing a style that pulls your hair away from your face (i.e ponytail or bun), remember that your face will get extra focus with your glasses on. Your glasses can be used to either draw attention to your hairstyle, or to divert that attention.
- Your glasses should accent your hairstyle and the frame should match the strongest element of your style.
- If you want the best style to show off your fabulous frame, try a short hairstyle.
- Almost any style that pulls the hair off of your face will look good with any frame.
- A side-part looks great with square-shaped glasses.
Match your frame to your hairstyle
For wide frames, avoid hairstyles with lots of volume on the sides. Try hairstyles with a bit of height on the top. Chunky, textured bangs, long end lengths with no volume and short style with strong vertical lines also work well with square frames.
When wearing large frames, avoid long hairstyles with no volume, straight styles, or short pixie cuts. Styles that look best with large frames are proportion hairstyles and long, layered styles with volume on the sides.
With small frames, it is best to avoid styles that box in the face. Short, cropped styles with some wave highlight the face, showing off your frames.
