Round Face Shape

Round faces have similar width and length with full cheeks and a rounded chin. The goal is to add angles and elongate the face.

Add height on top and keep sides shorter to create the illusion of length. Angular styles work best.

Square Face Shape

Square faces have a strong jawline with forehead and jaw roughly the same width. The face appears angular and defined.

Soften the strong jawline with textured, layered styles. Avoid blunt cuts that emphasize the square shape.

Heart Face Shape

Heart-shaped faces have a wider forehead and cheekbones that narrow to a pointed chin. The goal is to balance the upper and lower face.

Add width around the jawline and chin area. Side-swept bangs can minimize a wide forehead.

Diamond Face Shape

Diamond faces have narrow forehead and jawline with wide, high cheekbones. This rare face shape benefits from styles that add width at the forehead and chin.

Add volume at the forehead and chin to balance the wide cheekbones. Side-swept styles and chin-length cuts work well.
