Stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back, and give yourself an analysis of your head shape and compare it to these shapes:
Hairstyles for Each Head Shape:
Oval Face
Lucky you—this face shape works with almost anything!
Tip: Try different styles to express your personality—you can pull off most looks.
Round Face
You want to add height and make your face look longer.
Tip: Volume on top and short sides are your best friends.
Square Face
Your jaw is strong—show it off or soften it up.
Tip: Sharp cuts look bold, but messy styles can balance your angles too.
Heart Face
Balance a wide forehead and small chin.
Tip: Avoid tight top knots or slick-backs—they can make the forehead look wider.
Diamond Face
Highlight those cheekbones while softening the edges.
Tip: Don’t flatten the sides too much—let your natural width shine a bit.
Long (Oblong) Face
Shorten the face a little visually.
Tip: Avoid high-volume hair on top—it’ll make your face look longer.
- Oval – Forehead slightly wider than chin, rounded jawline.
- Round – Cheeks are full, face is about as wide as it is long.
