Frequently asked questions
2 Oval π
Oval faces suit bouncy layers, with straight or sweeping fringes and short crops. Try to avoid long locks of all one length as it swamps the face and draws it out (making it look horse-like long). Luckily oval face shapes suit pretty much any parting so try them all out and choose which one you like best!
3 Round π΅ο»Ώ
Round faces suit longer layers around the face to lengthen your features, and shoulder length cuts that will balance the face. Try to avoid short crops or extra long length without layers, as this will enhance the roundness. A side parting with a sweeping fringe is the way to go as it will break up the roundness!
4 Heart β€οΈ
Heart shaped faces suit long or short layers and long, soft fringes. Try to avoid short, pixie cuts as they will only exaggerate your forehead, and short fringes make the face too round. For your parting, try side sweeping fringes as they slim the face down, while middle parts will hide the roundness of the forehead!
***
Long, wavy hair can also be incredibly flattering for heart-shaped faces as the waves add volume around the lower part of the face, balancing the wider forehead. If you're partial to an updo, aim for a loose, romantic bun placed at the nape of the neckβthis draws attention downwards and showcases your delicate chin. When considering color, soft highlights can create dimension and give the illusion of a more oval face. Importantly, embrace your unique face shape with confidenceβa smile is the best accessory you can pair with any cut or style!
5 Diamond π·
Diamond shaped faces suit short, choppy layers as these will open up the face as well as balance it out. Try to avoid unlayered, straight hair as (like oval) it will close the face in and draw it out. For your parting, opt for a fringe β whether that be side or straight β as this will widen the face and reduce length!
***
Diamond-shaped faces are characterized by a wide forehead and narrow chin. They are one of the most difficult face shapes to style as the wrong cut can make them look longer and thinner. To best flatter a diamond-shaped face, it is recommended to opt for short, choppy layers. These layers will open up the face and help to balance out the features. Additionally, a fringe can help to widen the face and reduce its length. It is important to avoid straight, unlayered hair as this will close in the face and draw it out.
When styling a diamond-shaped face, it is important to keep the hair away from the forehead and chin. To achieve this, try styling the hair with a side part or a middle part. The hair should be kept off the face and away from the chin to help create a balanced look. Additionally, adding volume to the crown of the head can also help to balance the face shape.
6 Square β¬οΈ
Square faces suit soft, round layers with shoulder length (or above) cuts as this will soften the angles. Try to avoid blunt bobs with a straight fringe as the harsh lines will enhance the angles. Also, try a brushed back hair with a changeable part as this will open the face up and take the focus away from the chin area!
7 Long βοΈ
Long faces suit shoulder length hair or just above, anything longer will make your face appear longer than it is naturally. Waves are a great way to add the illusion of width, which long shaped faces often lack. Try to avoid long, straight hair as this will drag the face down. Also, try a side part as this will also help make your face appear wider.
