Find Your Perfect Haircut: A Guide Based on Face Shape
Determining Your Face Shape
To determine your face shape, look at your reflection without hair and focus on the outline of your jawline, cheeks, and forehead.
Oval: Forehead is slightly wider than the jawline, creating a balanced oval shape.
Round: Face is circular with full cheeks and a rounded jawline.
Square: Jawline and forehead are almost the same width, creating a strong, angular look.
Heart: Forehead is wider than the cheekbones and jawline, forming a heart shape.
Long: Face is longer than it is wide, with a narrow chin.
Diamond: Forehead and jawline are narrow, with prominent cheekbones.
Best Haircuts for Each Face Shape
Once you've determined your face shape, you can start exploring haircut options that complement your features.
Oval: This face shape can pull off almost any hairstyle. Consider adding volume on top or layers to enhance your features.
Round: Aim to elongate your face. Haircuts with height and volume on top can help create the illusion of a longer face. Avoid bowl cuts or overly short styles.
Square: Soften your angular features with layered cuts or side-swept bangs. Avoid blunt cuts that accentuate the jawline.
Heart: Balance your face by adding volume to the chin and jawline. Layered haircuts and chin-length bobs can be flattering.
Long: Create the illusion of a shorter face by adding volume around the ears and sides. Avoid long, straight styles.
Diamond: Focus on balancing your cheekbones by adding volume to the chin and forehead. Layered cuts can help soften the angular features.
