Flattering Hairstyles for Different Face Shapes

For Oval Face: Since any type of hairstyle flatters this face, so choose one that will show off your egg-shaped and balanced on top and bottom.

For Long Face: Make a long face look shorter with hair that sits above the shoulders. Long layers work well, as do bangs. Since midline parts elongate the face, use a side part instead.

For Square Face: Choose curvy hairstyles to soften your face if it's square, with a wide forehead, wide cheeks and an angular chin. Wearing layers around your jawline frames your face and can mask a strong, angled chin.

For Heart Face: A heart-shaped face has a wide forehead that angles down to a small chin. Try shoulder-length hair, adding layers from the chin down. Curl or flip out these layers to create a fuller bottom that balances your small chin. A chin-length bob works well too.

For Round Face: A round face features a small chin, wide cheeks and small cheekbones. Elongate it with longer hair that extends below your chin. Layers on top add volume and height; layers around the cheeks narrow your face. Avoid bangs and chin-length styles.
