Q&A for How to Choose a Haircut That Flatters Your Facial Shape

Demi Moore and Kelly Osbourne both have square faces. Square faces have strong jawlines and are almost as wide as they are long.

Her face is a cross between an oval and a diamond. Her features are very symmetrical.

You can determine this by tracing the outline of your face in a mirror with a washable marker. Make sure you pin your hair back first to get an accurate result.

There are apps you can use that allow you to upload your face and try different styles on. A professional stylist can also help you pick flattering styles.

With an oval face, great haircut options include a layered bob or even a blunt cut. You could also try any short cut.

Since oval faces are often considered the ideal when it comes to choosing a hair style, any haircut will flatter you. You could wear bangs, try curls, get layers, go short, or choose a long style. Go with whatever you think looks great!

Shoulder length or mid-neck to chin would look great. Side bangs are recommended.

I believe that side bangs with wavy hair would look most suitable, but if your hair isn't naturally wavy, straight hair looks fine too.

A buzz cut. They look great with Asian features and round heads.

Layers work well with oval faces, as do bangs, curls, and waves. Square faces, on he other hand, work with haircuts that are on the longer side. A curly/wavy lob (long bob) would work well for a combination of the two. When in doubt, ask your stylist!

Yes.

Sort of. It's not the end of the world if you pick something bad for your face shape. But different haircuts emphasize different features, so if you choose a "wrong" style, you might hid something you're proud of and emphasize something you're not.

Longer hair would be good for a chubby face. I do not recommend a short haircut like a bob, pixie or shaved head. Long, wavy hair will take the attention off of your face. I also recommend waves or curls, which will look much better than thin, straight hair on a chubby face.

Yes, certainly! I have had both shoulder length hair as well as a bob cut, and they both worked out very well. If you are going for a bob, I would recommend a longer bob because it suits round faces a bit better, but you most likely can also pull off a shorter bob.

As long as you're happy with your hair, that's all that matters. You could try accessories like hats and clips to add a little extra flair, but don't feel like you need to change it.

A pixie cut. They look great with heart faces, as well as blonde hair. It will also bring out your eyes.

Look at certain celebrities who have your face shape and the boyish cut that you want, or just search for genderfluid haircuts online and look for someone with your face shape.

A lob (Long Bob) looks excellent with square faces. As the name suggests, it is slightly longer than a bob, so it is on the medium side. Avoid pixie cuts and the like, and you can always ask your stylist for tips.

Like the article says, angular haircuts with longer bits work well with longer faces. Let your hair grow out a bit, then cut it if you're keeping short. Looking at magazines for inspiration is a great idea too!

Try side bangs or straight bangs; it will distract from your forehead.

Go with long layers if you have sort of a roundish/oval face. It will flatter both face shapes.

If you want to emphasize your pear face, get a straight fringe. If you want to make your face seem more equal, go for long hair with a dramatic side split.

Generally, round faces look best with long side swept bangs to minimize roundness. Avoid blunt single length cuts and blunt bangs that will make you look childish.

Typically, short cuts are not very flattering on a square-shaped face. However, it is good to do more research and use apps that put hairstyles on you to see if you would look good. Also, do not be afraid to break the rules, because you might look good in a short cut while others do not.

Yes. Also, wavy or curly hair looks marvelous on oval-shaped faces. Most cuts suit oval-shaped faces well. If you don't like the way it turns out, medium-length hair and a-line bobs are great options for you.

Considering that oval faces are similar to heart shaped faces, I think you should go for the pixie cut. If you do not like really short hair, try a straight shoulder length cut. The final decision is yours!

No. Pixie cuts tend to make oval faces look very long. On top of that, very short curly hair never looks good. A bob would look great.

Shoulder length and chin length hair looks very flattering on diamond faces. If you are looking for an even shorter cut, an angled pixie-bob is another flattering one. Try doing a Google image search for these lengths and see if anything appeals to you.

If you have an oval/heart shaped face, an asymmetrical bob might frame your elegant chin and make your eyes look larger. A wavy middle length works well too, but if you don't have naturally curly hair, straight hair works just as well.

Probably. Shorter hair with layers will give more body to your hair. The longer your hair, the more it will pull down with weight, and the thinner your hair will look. Going for something shorter with layers will give your hair more bounce and make it look thicker, if that's what you want.
