Face shape and the right haircut and hairdo

1. Oval Face (balanced, slightly longer than wide, rounded jawline)

✅ Best haircuts/styles:

• Works with almost anything (the most versatile shape).

• Long layers or soft waves add movement.

• Blunt bobs or lobs (chin or shoulder length).

• Side or middle part both work.

❌ Avoid: Heavy bangs that cover too much of the face — they can shorten the natural balance.

2. Round Face (equal width & length, full cheeks, soft jawline)

✅ Best haircuts/styles:

• Long layers that fall below the chin to elongate.

• Side-swept bangs (break up roundness).

• Long bobs (slightly longer in front).

• Volume at the crown (adds height).

❌ Avoid: Chin-length bobs without layers, blunt cuts, and center parts with no dimension — they highlight roundness.

3. Square Face (strong jawline, forehead, and jaw are equal width)

✅ Best haircuts/styles:

• Soft, layered cuts that frame the face.

• Long waves or curls to soften angles.

• Side parts and curtain bangs.

• Shoulder-length cuts with texture.

❌ Avoid: One-length blunt bobs, straight-across bangs — they emphasize sharpness.

4. Heart Face (wide forehead, narrow chin, pointed jawline)

✅ Best haircuts/styles:

• Side-swept bangs (soften forehead).

• Chin-length bobs or lobs to balance a narrow chin.

• Waves/curls starting below the ear.

• Long layers with volume near the jaw.

❌ Avoid: Very short, blunt bangs or cuts with all volume at the crown — they widen the forehead.

5. Long / Oblong Face (longer than wide, straight cheeks, often high forehead)

✅ Best haircuts/styles:

• Bangs (curtain or blunt) to shorten length.

• Medium cuts (collarbone, shoulder-length).

• Waves/curls for added width.

• Layered cuts with volume on the sides.

❌ Avoid: Extra long, straight hair with no layers — it elongates more.

6. Diamond Face (narrow forehead & chin, wide cheekbones)

✅ Best haircuts/styles:

• Side-swept bangs to soften forehead.

• Medium to long cuts with layers.

• Chin-length bobs with texture.

• Waves/curls for volume at jawline.

❌ Avoid: Very short cuts that add width at cheekbones.

7. Triangle Face (narrow forehead, wider jawline)

✅ Best haircuts/styles:

• Long layered cuts that add fullness around temples.

• Side parts with volume at the crown.

• Waves starting at cheekbones.

• Shoulder-length hair with movement.

❌ Avoid: Blunt cuts at jawline — they emphasize width.
