Your Face Shape For Choosing the Perfect Haircut
If you’re seeking inspiration for your next haircut, look no further than your mirror. The shape of your face influences the way a haircut falls. So your perfect cut is one that matches the shape of your face and highlights your best features. Wondering ‘what haircut should I get?’ We’ve got you covered with the most flattering haircuts for every face shape- plus how to determine yours.
Heart-Shaped Face
If your chin is pointed and your forehead is the widest part of your face, you have a heart-shaped face. The best cuts for this shape are styles that add volume near the jawline. Consider face-framing layers, curtain bangs, layered pixies, shoulder-length shags, long layers, chin-length and layered lobs and blunt bobs.
Square Face Shape
If the sides of your face are straight, and your jawline is slightly angled with a very minimal curve, you have a square face. If this is you, your best haircut is one that provides balance. Try curtain or side-swept bangs, Italian bobs, long, layered cuts, face-framing layers and textured lobs.
Round Face Shape
A round face is like a square, but with softer angles. Round faces are characterized by soft curves versus sharp angles, so choose a style that adds structure and angularity. The best cuts for a round face are long layers, lobs, side-swept bangs, shag cuts, angled and asymmetrical bobs and butterfly cuts.
Diamond-Shaped Face
Diamond-shaped faces feature a defined bone structure, including pointed chins, a narrow forehead and high cheekbones. The goal for a haircut on this shape is to balance angles and highlight cheekbones. Think long layers, face-frames, bobs, curtain bangs, pixie cuts, shoulder shags and tousled waves.
Oval Face Shape
If your forehead is only a bit wider than your curved chin, your face is oval. Oval faces can pull off almost any style thanks to their balanced proportions. But we love pixie cuts, shoulder-length lobs, layered shags, curtain bangs, face-framing layers and choppy bobs on an oval face.
Oblong Face Shape
Oblong faces are similar to square-shaped, but longer than they are wide. It’s best to stick with shorter styles when it comes to this shape, since the longer the hair, the longer it will make your face look. The most flattering cuts on an oblong face soften edges and strong jawlines with layers and volume.
Considering Hair Texture and Lifestyle
Know your face shape but you’re still asking yourself, what haircut should I get? Consider your texture. Different hair types behave differently. A haircut that looks amazing on straight hair may not always work on curly- and vice versa. When your cut matches your texture, styling is easier, the shape lasts longer and it looks more natural. Similarly, think about your lifestyle and how much time you have/want to spend on daily styling to get your desired look.

FAQs
How do I know what hairstyle suits me?
The best way to know what haircuts and styles suit you is by considering your face shape, natural hair texture and lifestyle. From there, you and your stylist can determine what hairstyle will suit you best.
Is short, medium, or long hair best for me?
The 5.5cm rule can help reveal what length hair will look best on you. The formula examines the length between your chin and your earlobe. If the distance is less than 5.5cm, a short haircut suits you. If it’s more than 5.5cm, longer hair will flatter you the most.
