Choose the right style for your face shape

Ready for a new hair-style but don’t know what to get? We’ve got everything you need to know about choosing the perfect cut.

Knowing what face shape you have, and what will and won’t work with it, is like having a secret weapon in the battle for amazing hair! So find out what face shape you have below and learn how to choose a cut that flatters your features.

What face shape do you have?

Oval
Oval

Slightly narrower at jaw line than at temples, with a gently rounded hairline.



Heart
Heart

Wider at temples and hairline, narrowing at the chin.



 Round
Round

Widest at cheeks and ears with a rounded chin and hairline.



SquareSquare

Strong, square jawline with a similar hairline.

Do: Most lengths and styles will suit you so be adventurous! If you’re going short, try a cute bob. If long’s your thing, try a style that’s layered and loose.

Don’t wear your hair on your face - your style will be lost behind it. 


Kirsten DunstHeart

Do: Layered styles with side parts work well if you’ve got long hair. If you settle on short, a chin length bob will look great.

Don’t: Top heavy short styles. If you’re going to go super short, try to keep some weight around the back and keep it flatter at the top. 


America FerreraRound

Do: Go for a layered rather than blunt fringe. If your hair’s short, a textured style with height at the crown will work well. Long, layered styles with an off centre part are also a winner.

Don’t: Go for a blunt, chin length cut - it will make the face look heavier than it is. Choose centre parts. 


Jessica SimpsonSquare

Do: Short to medium lengths with a wave or layers. Height on the crown also looks good. Try a side part and if you’ve got a fringe, sweep it to the side.

Don’t: Go for long straight styles that are all one length, styles that end at the jawline or centre parts.
