Best Haircut for Your Face

Best Haircut for Your Face:

What is Your Hair Texture?

Kinky
Wavy or Curly
Straight

Straight Hair, Round Face
A shoulder-dusting cut with long layers elongates your face. Strong, straight-across bangs enhance cheekbones.

Straight Hair, Square Face
A shoulder-length cut with layers from chin to collarbone softens a strong jaw; sideswept bangs minimize a wide forehead.

 Straight Hair, Heart Face

Try a pixie to play up your eyes and cheekbones. Or a blunt lob (long bob) with a few long layers.

Straight Hair, Oval Face

Layers that start just below the eyes will make your face look fuller. Avoid all-one-length long hair

Wavy or Curly Hair, Round Face

Length can be midneck to midback, but always get long layers to counteract a pyramid effect; a deep side part emphasizes bone structure.

 Wavy or Curly Hair, Square Face

Try a shoulder-length cut with layers angled from ears to ends; add bounce with a few shorter layers that fall over your forehead.

Wavy or Curly Hair, Heart Face

With a collarbone-length cut, curls are full around shoulders and balance the forehead's width. 

Wavy or Curly Hair, Oval Face

A cut that skims your shoulders plays up curls; a side part enhances cheekbones.

Kinky Hair, Round Face

Hair can fall to chin or shoulders. Diagonal layers remove weight from the sides; a part (middle or side) slims your face. 

Kinky Hair, Square Face

Choose a style either above the chin or below. (Cuts that end at the jawline add width to your face.)

 Kinky Hair, Oval Face

An afro—supershort or superfull—gives your face perfect balance. leave it rounder on top and tapered at the ears.
