Oval is the most versatile face. You can pull off almost any look -- short, long, straight or wavy. No matter the length of your cut, you'll look best with layers near your cheekbones, lips or chin -- basically whatever feature you want to highlight.

Styles that are super hot now: Choppy bobs, long waves and shoulder-skimming shags.

Celebs who share your face shape: Think Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Jada Pinkett Smith

Avoid: Short layers that add height on top of your head.

Tools you can't live without: A great curling iron and flat iron to create waves and straighten your sleek locks.

For straight hair, you can create more width with bangs. Long, side-swept bangs are very modern. Chin-length bobs and cuts are also ideal for you because they create the illusion of width. Curls and waves also add width, but avoid short layers that add volume on top.

Super hot styles now: Long layers.

Celebs who share your face shape: Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashlee Simpson, Giselle Bundchen

Avoid: Stay away from extremely long or short cuts. These elongate your face. If you must have long hair past your shoulders, make sure to cut in a few long layers, especially around the face. You might also consider a v-shaped style, where the length is mainly in the back, while the sides and front of your hair seem shorter.

Square If you have a square face, you'll want to play down your strong, angular jaw. Texture, in the form of curls or choppy ends, do this brilliantly. You can also get away with short, spiky cuts & long, sleek styles with layers that start at the jawline & continue downward.

Celebs who share your face shape: Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore, Mandy Moore & Rosario Dawson

Avoid: One-length bobs (especially chin-length) and blunt-cut bangs. These will make your face look even more square.

Your pointy chin tends to be the focal point of your face. Draw attention to your eyes & cheekbones instead with sideswept bangs (these act almost like arrows to your eyes or cheeks), brow-grazing fringe, a strong part & hair that falls at or below your jawline. Have short hair? Keep top layers soft & long. Long hair? Go for wavy layers that graze your cheekbones.

Celebs who share your face shape: Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez, Rachel Bilson, Reese Witherspoon, Ziyi Zhang

Avoid: Blunt-cut bangs and harsh, choppy layers.
