How to choose the right haircut for your face shape.

When it comes to choosing a haircut/style understanding your face shape is key.

While different trends and personal preferences are important the best haircut for you will no only reflect your style it will complement your natural features. Wether your going for a dramatic change or just a trim, knowing your face shape can help you find the perfect look that enhances your beauty and boosts your confidence!

How to easily determine your face shape :

Step 1. Stand in front of a mirror, tie your hair back and get a clear view of your face.

Step 2. Using a washable marker or lipstick trace the outline of your face on the mirror.

Step 3. Step back and examine the shape you have drawn. Does it look more oval, round or square, or like a different shape?

Most common face shapes :

Oval : A balanced face with slightly wider cheekbones and a slightly narrowing chin.

Square : A strong jawline with a forehead thats about the same width as the cheekbones.

Round : A face with softer curves, where the width and length are roughly the same length.

Heart : A wider forehead and a narrow chin, often with a pointy chin shape.

Diamond/triangle : High angular cheekbones, with a narrow forehead and jawline.

Oblong (long) : A longer face, with a higher forehead and narrow jaw.

Here are some examples of different face shapes.

Best hairstyles for each face shape :

Oval : oval face shapes are very versatile and almost any haircut looks good with this face shape.

Some haircuts you should Try : Long layered cuts, lob (long bob), pixie cut, side-swept bangs, and curtain bangs.

Square : Square faces have strong, angular features, so softening those lines with rounded or layered cuts works best.

Some haircuts you should try : Soft curls, shoulder-length bobs, long layers, and side-swept bangs. Avoid blunt cuts that end at the jawline, as they can accentuate the angular jaw.

Round : The goal for a round face is to add angles and elongate the face. Avoid styles that add fullness at the sides, as these can make the face appear rounder.

Some haircuts you should try : Long, layered cuts, high-volume styles, asymmetrical bobs, and side-swept bangs. A deep side part can also add more definition.

Heart : Heart-shaped faces typically have a wider forehead and a narrow chin. The goal is to balance the top and bottom of the face and draw attention to the eyes and cheekbones.

Some haircuts you should try : Chin-length bobs, long layers, and side-swept bangs. Try volume at the chin to balance the forehead.

Diamond/triangle : Diamond faces have high, angular cheekbones, so the goal is to balance out those sharp features and soften the overall look.

Some haircuts you should give a try : Chin-length bobs, shoulder-length cuts, and styles that add volume to the jawline. Side-swept bangs or layered cuts can break up the sharpness of the cheekbones.

Oblong (long) : A long face benefits from cuts that add width and balance the overall proportions. Avoid styles that emphasize length, as these can make the face look even longer.

Some haircuts you should try : Medium-length styles, layered waves, and bangs (straight or side-swept). You can also try a bob or lob to add volume around the face.
