haircuts for round faces
Pixie
cuts are the perfect short hair cut for round faces, as this cut
gives the appearance of elongation. The voluminous texture that pixie
cuts are known for will give height to the top of the head, which
gives the face more dimension and length. The shorter the hair cut
the better for round shaped faces.

haircuts for oval faces
Oval
faces are made for dramatic cuts. An angular bob will help to
maintain the soft curvature of the face as well as create definition
and playfulness. The key for oval faces is to consider the chin by
balancing it out with layered, angled cuts.

haircuts for square faces
Shoulder
length hair is a square shaped face’s best friend. With square
faces, the jaw and forehead are the most prominent features and must
be complemented properly to avoid making the face appear overly
angular. Hair reaching just past the jawline will help to soften the
jawline and give the face a romantic, alluring look.

haircuts for long faces
Long
faces are best complemented by lobs. Lobs, or long bobs, are an
effective tool for shortening the appearance of the chin and
forehead. A curly or waved lob is perfect for adding volume to the
sides of the face. This helps to give an overall more balanced look
to long shaped faces.

haircuts for rectangle faces
For
rectangular shaped faces, the goal is to make the face appear less
long. One perfect hair cut for rectangular faces is fringed bangs.
Keep the bangs full up to the eyebrows and straight, or side swept.
Layers are also great for rectangular faces to add volume to the
sides of the face. A beautiful cut for rectangle shaped faces is a
bob that is longer than the jaw line, paired with the fringe bang.
This will help to take the attention away from the jaw line, as well
as soften the neckline with an appearance of feminine allure.
