Find your face shape with the face shape calculator, then jump to the guide for your shape below.

• Hairstyles for oval

  Balanced proportions mean nearly any cut works, so choose for hair type and lifestyle rather than shape.

  Try: Layered cuts of any length, from a pixie to long waves.

• Hairstyles for round

  Add height and length with layers and side-swept lines, and avoid volume at the cheeks.

  Try: Layers with volume at the crown that add height.

• Hairstyles for square

  Soften the strong jaw with waves, layers and side-swept lines, and avoid blunt cuts at jaw level.

  Try: Long layers, waves and curls that soften the jaw.

• Hairstyles for heart

  Add volume at the jaw and soften the forehead with a fringe to balance a wider top half.

  Try: Chin-length bobs and lobs with volume at the jaw.

• Hairstyles for diamond

  Add width at the forehead and jaw so the cheekbones stop being the widest point.

  Try: Side-swept or full fringes that add width at the forehead.

• Hairstyles for oblong

  Shorten the length and add width with fringes, waves and volume at the sides.

  Try: Full or curtain fringes that shorten the forehead.
