The Best Haircuts For Your Face Shape

Hair is one of the few things about us that we can quickly change and feel automatically great or terrible about ourselves. Hair can reshape our identity, inspire change in our lives or just give us something fun to play and experiment with. There are some rules, however, that come along with the principle of hair and what works well for each individual person. Some of the things that come with hair are the color that matches with our skin tone, how to best wear our hair styled for each occasion and of course, the haircut that best suits our face shape. Read on to figure out which haircuts best suit your face shape and which ones to avoid to show the world the queen you truly are.

Oval

Some of our favorite actresses and musicians in Hollywood sport an oval face shape and are rocking almost every ‘do they try. Since celebrities and people we see on social media are mainly our guiding influence in what we experiment with in terms of our appearance, we shall look at some of the most stunning beauties of our time to try out a new haircut for the oval faces and walk with heads held high. Some famous celebrities with oval faces include Jennifer Aniston and Rihanna, both gorgeous women who have experimented with different haircuts over the years. The haircuts that seem to look particularly good with oval-shaped faces are shaggier ones like layers, side swept bangs, pixie cuts and a wide range of bob cuts. Really, this is a solid face shape to have if you like to experiment with your look because any tousled, wavy or short blunt one is going to look and feel fire on you.

Oblong

Again, there are many beautiful women in Hollywood with this face shape like Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Beckham. The key to oblong faces is to find a hairstyle that makes your face appear shorter, because people with this face shape have one of the longest faces. Some haircuts that can achieve this look are long, voluminous waves, a textured bob, and straight hair with either blunt or side swept waves.

Round

Round faces are the perfect face shape to work with shorter haircuts that will frame the face nicely. Some people you may know who are known for their adorable round faces are Ginnifer Goodwin and Lucy Hale. The round face is a good shape to work with because you can either choose to accentuate it with short haircuts, frame it with layers, or drape it with long, loose waves. Some haircuts to consider getting if you have a round face are a straight bob, a fauxhawk, sleek, straight hair and a pixie cut.

Square

Square faces are fun to work with because you get to play with bone structure and either choose to show it off with a shorter haircut or keep it hidden or soften the jawline with tousled waves. Some great haircuts to try out if you have a square-shaped face are a shaggy, long bob, long, side swept bangs, long, loose waves, layers with fringe bangs, and an asymmetrical bob.

Heart

If you have a heart shaped face there are many haircuts out there that will suit your face shape and very well. Some of our favorite heart shaped girls include Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Lawrence and Katharine McPhee.
