The Best Haircut To Get For Your Face Shape

When looking for a new hair style, it is important to take into consideration what type of face shape you have. Just because a hairstyle looks cute on one person doesn’t mean it will flatter another. You need to pay attention to the details of your face and from there, you can figure out which haircuts will accentuate the details! Here is how to figure out the best haircut for your face shape!

Round

The key to hair cuts for round faces is to create a full, edgy look that takes away from the fullness of the face. This can be done by creating choppy layers to add the illusion of fullness to your hair. When you have a lot of volume and texture to your hair, it helps to slim down the face and makes it appear more oval. Selena Gomez and Chrissy Teigen are round face beauties who are always serving hair inspo!

Short

If you’re going to go for the short length, try getting the choppy, short layers. This helps to make your hair look a lot fuller.

Medium

If medium length is your style choice, you can try a sweeping side bang. This helps to draw the attention away from your face.

Long

For the longer cut, use long layers to help make your face appear longer.

Square

For square faces, the name of the game is elongating your jaw line, not taking away from it. Long layers work very well with square shaped faces. When getting a haircut, you want a style that is going to add volume to your roots and less around your face. Keira Knightly and Olivia Wilde are square faced ladies who always have stunning hair styles!

Short

Pixie cuts have become really popular for women with square shaped faces. If you are loving this look, try going for the messy look with lots of layers.

Medium

The cut to get with medium length hair should be something that helps to keep the hair away from the face. You can try a longer side bang with shorter layers. This helps to show off your bone structure!

Long

For the longer hair cuts, try to keep the volume at your roots. Try going for the long, less daramatic layers!

Heart

Ladies with heart shaped faces have the challenge of finding a hairstyle that won’t overshadow their distinct facial features. The jawline and the sharpness of your chin are important features to keep in mind. Julianne Hough, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston always have the best hair styles for the heart-shape!

Short

If you are looking for a shorter haircut, a lob is always a good look to go for. If it isn’t for you, you can simply add layers with chopped lengths to create a tussled style.

Medium

For medium length hair, it’s important that you keep your hair away from your face. Try parting your hair to the side and keeping your layers on the shorter side.

Oval

When it comes to choosing a flattering hairstyle, women with oval shaped faces have the most options. Whether it’s adding a little chop and tussle to take away from a long face or maybe adding sweeping side bangs, it is the subtle details that make the best hair styles for oval shapes! Blake Lively, Emma Watson, and Jessica Alba are fabulous women who always have flawless hair!
