The Perfect Hairstyle for Your Face Shape

You should consider your hair type and facial features when deciding on a hairstyle. But don’t forget another crucial factor: your face shape. Choosing a hairstyle that flatters it compliments you from all angles. Here are some of the best cuts and styles to match your face shape.

Oval Faces: If you want to wear you hair long cutting blunt bangs across the brow can break up the perceived length of your face. A center part on hair that’s shoulder-length or longer with soft waves also works well with an oval face. For those looking for a shorter style, a collarbone-grazing bob with side-swept bangs helps break up a long face and add softness.

Square Faces: For those who love their hair long, really straight hair softens square angles. Another approach is waves from the ears down, which helps obscure any severity in the jawline. If you prefer a shorter style, a soft, tapered bob that hits right around the chin works beautifully on a square face.

Heart-Shaped Faces: With long hair, a deep side part with side-swept bangs will bring out your eyes. Another good look is long layered waves with the waves falling from the ears down. If you have a heart shaped face but love short hair a pixie with soft side-swept bangs softens any hard features.

Round Faces: A round face looks really good with an uneven cut, meaning a mix of lengths, If you add a deep side part and long, side-swept bangs, you’ll look slimmer. A center part works if you have hair a few inches past your shoulders with layers that hit at the jaw. Another easy way to add definition is with a sleek ponytail secured at or above the height of your ears. For hair above the shoulders, the key is styling it imprecisely such as a soft layered bob worn intentionally mussed.
