The bowl cut, who's it going to?
In addition to adapting to all tastes, the bowl cut also has the advantage of flattering various face shapes. Indeed, this hairstyle full of personality is as much capable of softening overly marked features as it is to erase a forehead that is too present, or even to harmonize a face with unbalanced volumes.
On the other hand, if you have a round face, you had better avoid the bowl cut which will not highlight you and which – instead of thinning them – will accentuate the roundness of your features. No surprise here, in general, short haircuts are not recommended for round faces. Note that on the contrary, if you have fine lines, the bowl cut has everything to please you! In fact, it is your face type that this hairstyle best enhances.
As for the nature of your hair, there are also a few rules to know: if your hair is too thick or too curly, the headpiece look is difficult to avoid, so you should draw the line on the idea of going with the bowl cut. If your hair is thin, on the other hand, this hairstyle will give the illusion that its volume has been increased tenfold. Concretely, the hair that the bowl cut knows best how to highlight is smooth and has a good material.
Maintaining a bowl cut
While some give up the bowl cut for its overly original and flashy appearance, it is the difficulty of its maintenance that others fear. Indeed, the major problem of the bowl cut lies in this inconvenience specific to all short haircuts. If you don't feel ready for your hairdresser to become your best friend, then the bowl cut is definitely not for you … If, on the other hand, you don't see downside to going to a hairdressing salon every two months or so, in which case why not give it a try?
