Want to know which hairstyle is right for your face shape? Pull your hair back in a headband and look into the mirror. Now decide which shape your face most resembles. These suggestions should help you discover the perfect hairstyle according to the shape of your face.

Oval Face Hairstyle: Face shape is not too wide or too narrow, balanced at the forehead and chin. Oval shaped faces can pull off just about any haircut and hairstyle.

Square Face Hairstyle: Face shape is broad, high forehead and a wide jaw. If your face is square, hairstyle should be layered softly around your face and hang below your jaw. Chin-length bob haircuts focus attention on a wide jaw. You can hide a broad forehead with bangs, but they should be long and softly layered instead of a short, straight-across fringe.

Round Face Hairstyle: Face shape is the full side and widest at the cheekbones. Elongate the look of round and heart shaped faces with longer (below the shoulders) hairstyles that have some volume or lift at the roots. A hairstyle with softly angled layers around the face will minimize fullness more than blunt bangs.

Heart Face Hairstyle: Face shape is wide at the forehead and cheekbones with a narrow, pointy chin. Same hairstyles as listed for round shaped faces.

Long and Narrow Face Hairstyle: Face shape has high forehead and a long chin. To shorten a long, narrow face, try a hairstyle that is cut below your chin but above your shoulders. A hairstyle that stops above your chin makes your face look even longer. Long hairstyles drag the eye down and emphasize a narrow face. Your hairstyle should have cut layers or texture built in to create more volume and movement on the sides.
