The haircut for your face shape

​When it comes to picking a fresh haircut, your face shape is one of the most important factors to consider. After all, you can choose the prettiest new cut, but if it doesn’t work with your face, it isn’t going to be all you dreamed of. So, instead of opting for the latest trend, try selecting a style that suits your face shape instead.

What is My Face Shape?

First, you need to identify what your face shape is. To do so, try taking a photo of yourself facing the camera with your hair tied back. Then, trace around the outside of your face and see which shape it most closely resembles: a rectangle, oval, square, circle, triangle, heart or diamond.

Best Haircuts for Face Shape

Rectangle: Layered cuts, waves or curls, soft and romantic chignons, rounded fringes or curtain bangs, to soften the appearance of their sharp jaw and forehead without further elongating the face.

Oval: Blunt bobs and lobs with subtle layers, long waves or curls. Thanks to their well-balanced appearance, oval faces can suit a wide variety of hairstyles.

Square: Side-parted styles, long and airy layers, short layered bobs, side-swept bangs.

Heart: You should aim to balance your face shape with a cut that decreases your brow width and increases the width of the lower half of your face, such as ong side-swept cuts, waves or curls starting below the ear, side-parted pixies, bobs and lobs

Diamond: Mid or long layered cuts worn with tousled waves, deep side parts, chin-length bobs, ponytails, to soften their sharp angles and balance their cheekbones.

Round: Long layered cuts, choppy pixie cuts, short side bangs, to add definition and shape.

Triangle: Layers that finish at the eyes/cheekbones or collarbone, choppy pixie cuts, short side bangs, to balance out the jaw and minimize the bottom-heavy appearance of the face.
