2. Customizing for Your Face Shape & Hair Texture
Welcome to Part 2 of my salon guide on 100+ Superb Medium-Length Hairstyles For Your Amazing Look.
Every head of hair has its own density, cowlicks, and wave pattern.
Here is how I adjust the proportions behind the chair.

Matching Layers & Tones to Your Features
For different face shapes and hair textures, there are various ways to tailor the layers, color placement, or parting.
For example, if you have a square face, you can create a softer look by adding subtle layers around the jawline.
If you have curly hair, you can enhance your natural texture by using a curl-defining cream and scrunching your hair while it dries.
For a more angular look, you can create a ‘point-cut internal layers’ style.
Which suits most face shapes and hair textures.
To achieve this look, use a point-cutting technique and cut the hair in a way that creates a more defined shape around the jawline.
✂️ Face-Shape & Density Quick Match
- Fine-to-Medium Strands: Keep perimeter weight blunt and add micro-ribbons around the face for visual fullness.
- Thick or Wavy Hair: Use internal slide-cutting to release weight so waves stack without triangle bulk.
- Warm vs. Cool Skin Undertones: Pair golden-olive skin with honey, caramel, or espresso glosses; pair cool undertones with champagne, ash, or mocha ribbons.
