Which Hairstyle Actually Fits You? A Guide Based on Face Shape

1. Oval Face

Description: Soft jawline, forehead and chin are similar in width.
Best hairstyles:

  • Quiff
  • Pompadour
  • Side part
    Avoid: Styles that cover the forehead – they make your face appear longer.

2. Round Face

Description: Rounded jawline, face is equally wide and tall.
Best hairstyles:

  • Undercut with volume on top
  • High fade
  • Angular fringe
    Goal: Create height and elongate the face visually.

3. Square Face

Description: Strong jawline and forehead; a very defined and masculine shape.
Best hairstyles:

  • Buzz cut
  • Textured crop
  • Military-style cuts
The good news? Most hairstyles work well on square faces.

4. Heart-Shaped Face

Description: Wider forehead, narrower chin.
Best hairstyles:

  • Side swept
  • Medium length with volume
  • Light beard to balance the lower face

5. Diamond Face

Description: Prominent cheekbones, narrow forehead and chin.
Best hairstyles:

  • Layered crop
  • Side part
  • Styles that add width at the sides
