Do You Know Your Face Shape?

The Oval Face Shape

Considered to be the ideal shape by hairdressers. People with an oval face shape can wear most styles and lengths with it still looking "right". The oval face is mathematically 1.5 times as long as its width, with the forehead slightly wider than the jaw.

The Round Face Shape

A round facial shape is characterized by a round chin. Because they lack the length of the oval face, the aim of a hairstyle should be to create the illusion of length in the face. This is achieved by creating height on top of the head, and minimizing hair width -- keeping it flat at the sides and around the ears.

The Rectangular Face Shape

The rectangle facial shape has a square chin and hairline that are long and narrow. The aim of a haircut should be to create width at the sides to disguise the narrowness. A fringe can also shorten the face, and a side part will help to disguise the squareness.

The Square Face Shape

Square facial shapes have a square jawline and the hairline at the forehead also tends to be square-shaped. They are 'too short', so a hairstyle should seek to create height to elongate the face. Hair should be layered around the face to soften the jawline. Hair should wisp around face to reduce squareness.
