In this post we'd like to give you some tips on the type of hairstyles you can rock for each face shape. We also included a few celebrities who have that particular face shape into each section so you can compare your face shape to that. Now, scroll down to the bottom of this post and have a look at the picture of all five face shapes together. From the picture try judge what your face shape is and then check the first part of each face shape in detail to see if your face shape matches the description, if so skip to your face shape and check out what styles are best for you.
SQUARE:
Forehead and angular jawline are roughly the same width
Celebrities: Jennifer Aniston, Sandra bullock
With a square shaped face you want to draw attention away from you strong jawline therefore keeping your hair at a longer length with maybe some soft waves or very loose curls. With the face shape you want to avoid cutting bangs as they will draw attention to your jawline. Try to open up your face don't use your hair to cover your face, try having it parted to one side which will soften up your faces angles. Before I did say that it's better to keep your hair at a longer length but if you really do want shorter hair try a wavy bob, the curls will break up the lines of your face.
OVAL:
Your forehead and jawline are a similar width and your face is long.
Celebrities: Jessica alba, Sarah Jessica Parker
Consider yourself very lucky if you have this face shape, you can pretty much rock any hairstyle you can think of. Most hairstyles will flatter your face shape. There's not much I can say about this one try whatever you like, although there is one thing to consider, if you have a smaller forehead steer clear of bangs and if your forehead is longer bangs are key, they'll prevent your face looking too long.
ROUND:
Your cheeks are full and wider than your jaw and forehead.
Celebrities: Drew Barrymore, Kate Winslet
As your face already has enough width you want to wear your hair quite long to narrow your face out. With this face shape you should steer clear of too many layers as it will add unnecessary horizontal volume. You can get long layers but just stay away from anything too drastic. Also, add a little volume to the top of your head so it's not too flat and plastered to your head. This will draw the eye up. You could try a middle parting with some waves.
HEART-SHAPED:
You have a wider forehead and cheekbones and a narrow jawline
Celebrities: Michelle Pfeiffer, Jennifer love Hewitt
With this face shape you definitely want to try some sort of soft side parted bangs. Make sure they're not too blunt and straight this will make your chin look pointy and you want to avoid that. Try having a medium length with choppy bangs any style that's too long will pull down your chin.
LONG AND NARROW:
Your face is narrow from temple to chin and long
Celebrities: Liv Tyler, Gisele Bundchen
You could try a long bob to counteract the length or if you prefer your hair longer you could try a wavy style with some layers to add volume and a nice shape. When getting these layers you want to make sure that the longest layer is just below your chin. Bangs work well with this face shape too as they break up the length of your face.
