When choosing your hairstyle, you need to consider your face shape. The right hairstyle for you should enhance your best facial features. Know which styles would be suitable to your face shape. Here are some guidelines:

 

1. Oval

 

Oval is the most versatile of all face shapes. Any hairstyle will suit this shape. You can have it long, short, or layered. Just remember not to cover your eyes or face with hair.

 

2. Square

 

With a square face shape, you need a hairstyle that will soften your strong jaws and forehead. You can grow your hair long with bangs swept to one side or make it short as long as the style appears rounded. You can also try wispy bangs. Straight and blunt bobs are not recommended for this shape as it will only highlight your strong jaw. Curly hair will also nicely frame a square-shaped face.

 

3. Round

 

The key to a great hairstyle for round face shapes is to stick to styles that will make the face appear narrower. Short hairstyles are ideal for this shape. If you want to keep it long, your cheeks should be close to the hair. It should not be tucked in your ear. Create height or volume at the crown. You can do away with the bangs.

 

4. Heart

 

For the heart-shaped face, chin-length hairstyles with side-swept bangs will look good. Shoulder-length hair will also work. You can add some volume to the crown if your hair is medium or long. Avoid blunt bangs and short styles that highlight the upper face.
