Choosing a Flattering Hairstyle for Round, Square and Heart Shaped Faces

This quick guide will help you in choosing a Flattering Hairstyle for Round, Square and Heart Shaped Faces giving you tips on what to look for and what to avoid.

Round Shaped Faces
In order to slim down the appearance of a round face, try to create less volume around your face.  Soft graduate layers instantly make a face appear slimmer.  The key to a face appearing slimmer is cutting down on bulk and weight from the sides.  Use cuts that fall just below the chin and consider wispy and tapered ends.  When going for fringes, keep them long or side-swept.  Avoid one-length, blunt cuts and curly short hair.

Square Shaped Faces

Try to play down your strong angular jaw by making use of long, sleek styles with layers that start at the jaw line and continue downward.  A brilliant way of softening a square jaw is to add curls and choppy ends.  You can get away with short, spiky cuts but avoid one-length bobs and blunt-cut bangs as these will make your face look more angular.

Heart Shaped Faces

Make the best of your pointy chin by making it the main focal point of your face.  Draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones with side-swept bangs, a brow-grazing fringe and hair that falls at or below your jaw line.  If your hair is short, try to keep top layers soft and long.  If you have long hair – go for long layers that graze your cheekbones.  Avoid short, blunt-cut bangs and choppy harsh layers.
