Ever wonder how a person can rock a certain haircut that someone else may not like on themselves? This is all about their face shape. If you’re looking for a new women’s haircut, choosing one that complements your features will increase the likelihood that you’ll love it. Before you book your next hair salon appointment, here’s a brief look at what tends to work for some of the most common face shapes. 

Round 

A round face has a softer jawline and equally proportional dimensions. If this sounds like you, you’ll want a haircut that elongates the appearance of your face to draw out your features.

Blunt, single layer cuts or styles with short layers that add fullness to the sides of your face may make it look rounder. Instead, consider a side-swept bob or an asymmetrical cut to break up the uniformity of your features and create a new balance through contrast.

Heart-Shaped

Those with heart-shaped faces have wider foreheads and a face outline that narrows downward to give you rocking cheekbones and a well-defined chin. With such striking features, you’ll want a haircut that showcases, rather than hides them.

Blunt, short bangs may not be for you, as they extend across to your temples and may make your forehead look bigger. If you want bangs, long, side-swept ones will draw attention lower and accentuate your eyes. You can also rock pixie cuts and any variation of a bob. These will show off those killer cheekbones and enviable jawline.  

Oval

When it comes to versatility in women’s haircut options, oval-shaped faces take the prize. These are longer than they are wide and have soft jawlines.

In this case, the texture of your hair plays the biggest role in what cut you can easily maintain. For example, if you have naturally curly hair, but you choose a haircut with bangs, which work best for straight hair, you’ll spend a lot of time each day straightening it out. Besides that, everything is on the table for your face shape, so choose a cut that suits your lifestyle and personality.
