Haircuts For Different Face Shapes

Round Faces

If you have a round face, try styling that emphasizes its cheekbones and jawline. Sarah Hyland showcases this trend perfectly; try a shoulder-length bob with flipped ends as a way to give texture and volume while slimming down facial features via its diagonal cuts. Add extra volume with volumizing mousse or spray before styling to achieve this effect.

Though most women with round faces should steer clear of chin-length bobs, ones that reach just beneath the eyes may work nicely if paired with side-swept bangs and wispy feathered bangs. The wispy strands in this feathered bob help flatter your face shape by drawing attention away from cheek and jaw areas and adding dimension.

Square Faces

Square faces possess beautiful features and an irresistibly sharp jawline, making them highly desired by many. To highlight this aesthetic feature, find styles that elongate and soften any sharp corners.

One way of accomplishing this goal is through the use of an off-center part and face-framing layers, like those worn by actor Gemma Chan who wears her beautiful below-the-collarbone cut featuring wavy hair that perfectly frames her strong jawline and strong chin.

Rounded bobs can also work wonders for square-face shapes as they frame and create height in the crown area. You can wear one parted down the center or swept off to either side like actress Indya Moore; for even better results, use balayage dyeing for added dimension and highlights, which will highlight your thick crown hair while softening away harsh lines of your square face shape.

Long Faces

Mastering the long, symmetrical face shape (think Liv Tyler or Kate Winslet) may seem complicated at first, but with just a few easy hacks, you’ll soon have it down pat. A deep side part with long, soft bangs is one way to balance out face length while softening jawline lines.

For those seeking a more seductive style, try opting for a longer layered haircut with blunt bangs for maximum volume and structure – such as this chin-length bob seen on model Bella Hadid. Make your hairstyle even more flattering by finishing with a volumizing spray to add body. Bumble and Bumble’s Surf Spray works particularly well at creating beach waves on fine to medium hair types, offering the added touch that it brings.

Oval Faces

No matter the length or type of your hair, there’s an ideal style to complement an oval face shape. Try a classic straight bob with bangs that fall just above your eyebrows for an effortlessly elegant finish; blonde highlights will add warmth that complements your features beautifully.

For an effortless look with medium-length locks, try styling them into a side-parted wavy lob with choppy layers for a casual aesthetic. Add dirty blonde balayage for some dimension around the face; it will accentuate both eyes and cheekbones while giving an overall balanced appearance to your features. For added drama, add bangs for an eye-catching silhouette – an excellent way to express one’s femininity!

Heart Faces

Soft waves and curls work wonders to balance out pointy chins on women with heart-shaped faces, from long quiffs with face-framing layers to short, choppy bobs that can either be worn bluntly or with long side-swept bangs. A faded undercut may also work well as long as its length accentuates jawlines.

Layered bobs are another great style option for heart-shaped faces, as their soft layers will help slim down the forehead and widen the jawline. Try sweeping your hair off to one side or creating a middle part; use waxes and pomades to emphasize piecey texture for added dimension. Bangs will further help minimize forehead width.
