Connie had tried out countless updos for her face without finding one single style that did wonders for her. This is because choosing a style for yourself is more an art than a lottery. It is important that you carefully take into account the cut of your face and take inventory of the best and worst of your features. While some bone structures can support virtually any style, most call for a specific symmetry if you wish to look good. An updo out of sync with your face cut will make your appearance look forced, irrespective of the elegance of the style. For example, a round face will need something to add length to it so as to distract from its width. If you ignore this rule and opt for a low sitting chignon, the face will end up looking uncomfortably round and wide. You would do much better to make a bun on the crown of the head or pile your hair up top in order to look your best.
