You can pull off just about any haircut with the right confidence. But with your specific face shape, certain hairstyles are especially flattering. Next time you’re debating what look to request at the hair salon, consider the following cuts to flatter your face.

Hairstyles for Each Face Shape

1. Round

Many women with round faces shy away from short cuts, but a choppy, textured pixie cut will accentuate the youthful shape of your face. Long layers that brush the jawline will lengthen your face if you’re looking to slim the volume of your cheeks. Avoid hairstyles that stop at your chin, which will make your face appear wider.

2. Oval

hairstyleFor oval faces, bangs are your best friend. Sweeping bangs that reach the brow line cover up high foreheads and widen the face. A shoulder-length cut will add to that width. Ask your hairstylist for beachy waves to create some dimension if your locks are on the longer side.

3. Heart

A cute, bouncy bob fills in the narrower chins of heart-shaped faces. Because this shape tapers down into a point, you may have issues with your forehead appearing wider. Abundant layers that frame your face are always flattering. Strong, side-swept bangs also draw the eye down from the forehead.

4. Square

Depending on what kind of look you’re going for, women with square face shapes can choose hairstyles that accentuate their strong jawline or soften it. A short, layered bob with blunt bangs will show off your bone structure brilliantly. To smooth the lines of your face, request long, wispy layers with feathery bangs.

5. Oblong

Just like oval-shaped faces, you’ll want to focus on widening the appearance of your face and minimizing its length. Focus on adding dimension to the sides, and keep your hair short to mid-length. Voluminous curls and waves balance out narrow faces and give you a fun look to work with. Try to stay away from long, straight hair that lengthens your face.
