Oval Face Shape

The oval face is slightly longer than it is wide, with a gently rounded jawline and balanced proportions. Widely considered the most versatile face shape for hairstyles because almost every cut works.

Best styles: Bob, Pixie cut, Layered cut

Round Face Shape

A round face has equal width and length with full cheeks and a soft, curved jawline. The goal with hairstyles is usually to add length and angles to create a slimming, elongated effect.

Best styles: Long layers, Lob with side part, Curtain bangs

Square Face Shape

A square face has a strong, angular jawline with the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw all approximately the same width. Hairstyles that soften the angles while maintaining structure look best.

Best styles: Soft waves and curls, Side-swept bangs, Layered cuts past the jaw

Heart Face Shape

A heart-shaped face has a wider forehead and cheekbones that taper down to a narrow, sometimes pointed chin. The best hairstyles add width at the jawline and minimize the forehead.

Best styles: Chin-length bob, Textured lob, Side-parted styles

Diamond Face Shape

A diamond face has narrow forehead and jawline with wide, high cheekbones. It is the rarest face shape and suits styles that add width at the forehead and chin while showcasing the cheekbones.

Best styles: Side-swept bangs, Chin-length bob, Textured pixie

Oblong Face Shape

An oblong (or rectangular) face is longer than it is wide, with a straight cheek line and similar forehead and jaw width. The goal is to add width and break up the length with horizontal elements.

Best styles: Waves and curls that add side volume, Blunt bob at chin level, Side-swept bangs or full bangs
