If You Have an Oval Face
If your forehead is narrower than your cheeks and your chin is rounded, you likely have an oval face. This shape is lucky because many hairstyles suit it well.
The best choice is a medium-length cut that falls to or just below your shoulders. If you want longer hair, try loose waves—straight styles can make your face look longer.
An A-line long bob is perfect if you prefer shorter hair that grazes above the shoulders. These styles are top picks, but you can experiment with almost anything except very short, spiky cuts.
If You Have a Round Face
A round face has nearly equal length and width, with full cheeks and a rounded chin. Avoid center parts, but asymmetric styles are your friends!
Try a side-parted lob that falls above the shoulders or a layered, side-parted long cut below the shoulders. If you wear a ponytail, tie it to the side and leave a strand loose on the other side.
Avoid pixie cuts, full bangs, and medium-length wavy hair, as these can make your face look wider.
If You Have a Square Face
Like the round face, a square face has equal width and length, but with a more angular chin and sharper forehead.
This shape pairs beautifully with shoulder-length hair and side bangs, loose waves, or an A-line bob that hits the cheeks.
Avoid pixie cuts with full bangs, high ponytails, and chin-length bobs—especially with bangs—as they can widen your face.
If You Have a Heart-Shaped Face
If your face resembles a triangle with rounded forehead edges and a charming widow’s peak, you have a heart-shaped face.
Long, wavy hair with side bangs, choppy shoulder-length styles with side parts, and side-tied wavy ponytails suit you beautifully.
It’s best to skip wavy pixies, high ponytails with bangs, and very short, voluminous bobs.
If You Have a Diamond-Shaped Face
This face shape is longer than it is wide, with a pointed chin and prominent cheekbones.
An asymmetric pixie cut or a straight lob that reaches the shoulders works well.
Side-parted, gently wavy medium-length hair is also a great option.
Avoid spiky pixies, buns, and teased short styles—they’re better left to others.
Which Bangs Should You Choose?
Your face shape can also guide your bang style.
Square faces look great with eyebrow-length bangs, while heart-shaped faces shine with side bangs.
Round faces benefit from bangs that lengthen toward the sides, and oval faces can rock almost any bang style!
