Flattering Hair Cuts for Your Face Shape

Have trouble picking out the right haircut? It can be difficult finding the style that complements your face shape and your personality. Follow these few pointers and be on your way to a beautiful mane!

How to find your face shape

Pull your hair back into a pony tail. Grab a dry erase marker or any makeup accoutrement you have lying around (i.e. lipstick, eyeliner, etc.). Look in the mirror and trace your face. Step away from the mirror. What do you see...?

Square: Like Sandra Bullock, if you have a square face shape, you can rock short or long hair cuts. The key is to opt for soft layers instead of really structured cuts. Ask for face framing layers and long piece-y bangs to soften your your structured chin and jaw line.

Oval: Like Charlize Theron, if you have an oval face shape, consider yourself lucky. You can sport any haircut. If you have a longer oval face, you may want to opt for bangs to make your face seem more round. With this face shape, you can have fun. A bob or long layers - be creative!

Round: Like Cameron Diaz, if you have a round face shape, go for face framing layers and choppy bangs which can make a fuller face seem more slender. If you dig short hair, go for a bob. If you dig longer hair, make sure it hits below shoulder or longer - this can help elongate a round face.
