Hairstyle by face shape

Hairstyle ideas by face shape

Use a face-shape result as a haircut starting point, then choose the direction that feels most like you.

Start with the effect you want

A face shape does not prescribe one correct haircut. It helps you compare where to add softness, keep balance, introduce movement, or bring attention upward.

Browse the seven shape guides once you have a likely result, or return to the detector and analyzer if you want to confirm the outline first.

Each guide starts with a visual goal, then offers practical haircut directions to compare before a salon visit.

Balanced length and soft taper

Oval

Gently tapered from forehead to jaw with balanced proportions.

Soft curves and full cheeks

Round

Soft curves and fuller cheeks, with width sitting close to length.

Defined jaw and equal widths

Square

Forehead, cheeks, and jaw read at similar widths with a defined jawline.

Wide forehead and narrow chin

Heart

A broader upper face tapers toward a narrower, often delicate chin.

Prominent cheekbones

Diamond

Cheekbones stand out as the widest point, with a narrower forehead and jaw.

Longer proportions

Oblong

Length is noticeably greater than width, often with straighter sides.

Strong jaw and narrow forehead

Triangle

The jaw is the widest point, narrowing gradually toward the forehead.

Use the detector and analyzer together

When your haircut choice depends on whether the outline is oval or oblong, round or square, run the detector first. The analyzer page gives you more context before you choose a style direction.
