Best hairstyles for your face shape
Your face shape is one of the most important factors in choosing a flattering hairstyle. Find your shape below and discover which styles will look best on you.
Oval Face Shape
Oval faces are longer than wide, with a jaw slightly narrower than the cheekbones. This balanced shape works with almost any hairstyle.
You can pull off nearly any style. Experiment freely with length and volume.
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.
Oblong Face Shape
Oblong faces are longer than wide with a long, straight cheek line. The forehead, cheeks, and jawline are similar in width.
Add width at the sides and avoid excessive height on top. Bangs can shorten the appearance of the face.
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.
