Oval Face Shape

Oval Face Shape

As its name implies, the Oval Shaped Face is longer than wide, with a jaw that's narrower than the cheekbones. Because the oval shaped face has no dominant areas and is so proportional, this face looks good with just about any hairstyle, length or texture.


Round Face Shape

Round Face Shape

The Round Shaped Face is characterized by a wide hairline and fullness below the cheekbones. The neck may appear short. These faces look very good with a geometric or linear style. Add height, when possible, and long, wispy side areas to make the cheeks look narrow. Comb hair close to the head on the side and at the nape.


Square Face Shape

Square Face Shape

The Square Shaped Face is characterized by a wide hairline and jaw. Square-shaped faces need height on top and narrowness at the sides. Comb the hair off the forehead to add height to the face. Curly texture and wisps of hair around the face break the wide, straight lines common to the square face.


Diamond Face Shape

Diamond Face Shape

The Diamond Shaped Face is characterized by a narrow chin and forehead with wide cheekbones. Diamond-shaped faces need narrow sides and fullness at the chin. Bobs work very well for this shape. Avoid wearing height on top or volume on the sides. Use some fringe or bang to cover the narrow forehead.


Heart Face Shape

Heart Face Shape

The Heart Shaped Face is characterized by a wide forehead and a narrower chin. Bring some hair onto the forehead to disguise its width. Keep hair close to the head at the eyes but make it slightly full around the jaw, and below and in front of the earlobes.


Pear Face Shape

Pear Face Shape

The Pear Shaped Face is characterized by a small or narrow forehead and a rather large pouchy-appearing jawline. Comb hair to add width from the eye level through the crown of the head. Set and comb hair close to the head on the sides and at the nape.


Oblong Face Shape

Oblong/Rectangle Face Shape

The Oblong (or Rectangular) Shaped Face is characterized by a very long and narrow bone structure. Those who have an oblong facial shape often have long, thin necks. Use a fringe or half-bang across the forehead by creating soft waves or curls in the crown and nape areas. This helps to create the illusion of an oval.
