Question:
What hair style would be best for me?

Answer:
A good hair cut promotes your best features while concealing your downfalls. It's all about balancing your proportions. A hair cut is like a sculpture. For many years science has searched for perfect beauty in the form of a math equation! The Golden Ratio, (1.618:1), originates as far back as the ancient Greeks and has been discovered in numerous patterns of nature, such as flowers, and many other designs, paintings and objects regarded as visually pleasing.

Artists have used this theory for centuries. Hair cutting can as well. A haircut can dramatically change the look of a person because hair styles are shapes and change the facial ratios.

The shape of the face, the relation between our face contour and the eyes, mouth and nose  contribute to our perception of facial attractiveness, and are important when choosing a hair style.
