Photographs
This is something to be aware of when analyzing the form of the head.

- Hairstyles
Two ways to Accomplish Ornamental Cosmetology
When performing a restoration, this form is identified first.
Profile
Determined by the relationship of the forehead and chin in their alignment with the upper lip (superior integumentary lip).
Profile
Described by its direction from the eyebrow upward.
Forehead
Is described by its relationship to the upper lip.
Chin
Has nothing to do with the facial profile.
Nose
- Convex
- Concave
- Vertical (Balanced)
Basic Linear Forms (3)
The most common type of profile.
- Forehead -recedes from the eyebrows to the hairline.
- Chin -recedes from the projection of the upper lip.
Convex
The least common type of profile.
- Forehead- Protrudes from the eyebrows to the hairline.
- Chin- Protrudes farther than the upper lip.
Concave
A profile in which the forehead, upper lip, and chin project to an imaginary vertical line.
Vertical (Balanced)
Created by combining pairs.
- First term: Refers to the description of the forehead.
- Final Term: Refers to the relationship of the lower lip and chin.

These are suggestive of a geometric shape.
There are 7 Major
- Oval
- Round
- Square
- Oblong
- Triangular
- Inverted Triangle
- Diamond
Head Form (Frontal View)
The most common head form.
- Classic Egg Shape
- So called “ideal” shape
- Cheekbones are wider then the cranium
- The cranium is slightly wider than the lower jaw
- The entire face appears to be composed of soft, rounded curves
Oval
Full convex features.
- Short
- Full cheeks
- Rounded, fuller jawline
- Rounded cranium
Round (Infantine Type)
Broad with very little curvature, described as the “strong” type.
- The forehead, jawline, and cheeks are approximately the same width.
- The hairline is often straight.
Square
Long and narrow.
- The forehead and chin may be rounded or square
- The nose is usually long
Oblong
The least common form. It is wider between the angles of the jaw than it is across the forhead.
- The forehead is the narrowest feature
- Eyes are close set
Triangular
Wide forehead and narrow jaws.
- Jawline is narrower than the cheekbone or forehead
- Forehead is the widest feature of the face
- Eyes are wide-set
Inverted Triangle
Wide cheekbones, narrow in width of the forehead and jaws.
- Greatest width is across the cheekbones.
Diamond
Seen from two views.
- Inferior position
- Superior position
The curvature of the face from side to side
Looking upward from the chin.
- This is the position seen when approaching the casket.
Inferior Position (Curvature of the face from side to side)
Looking downward from above the head.
- This is the most accessible place for making a restoration. (Important for restorative artists)
Superior Position (Curature of the face from side to side)
- Cheeks
- Forehead
- Upper Lip
- Chin
Surfaces exhibiting a similarity of bilateral curvature
These are the keys to the bilateral forms.
- The ____bones marks the change from the front plane of the face into the side of the face.
Cheeks
Here the form of the curvature of the cheeks is similarily repeated in smaller scales.
- Forehead
- Upper Lip
- Chin
Based on the anterior segments of geometric forms. (The nose is not included)
- Oval
- Angular
- Round
- Square
Four Basic Bilateral Forms
- Forhead
- Crown
- Lateral Margins
Psyiognomy of The Forehead
Extends from the eyebrows to the frontal eminences.
Forehead
The area above the frontal eminences.
- Location of the normal hairline.
Crown
Created by the lines of the temples.
Lateral Margins
- Central Plane (1)
- Lateral Planes (2)
Forehead Planes (3)
This is gently convex.
- Lies directly superior to the nose and the medial ends of the eyebrows.
- It extends upward as far as the frontal eminences.
Central Plane
These are gently convex
- Are narrower planes
- From the central plane they recede to the lines of the temples.
Lateral Planes (2)
