Choosing the right haircut can enhance your best features and balance your face shape. Whether you have a round, square, oval, or heart-shaped face, the right style can make all the difference. In this guide, we’ll explore the most flattering haircuts for every face shape!

1. Square Face

A chin-length bob draws attention to Olivia Wilde’s strong, square jawline. When framed by longer hair, however, her face appears softer and more delicate. Women with square faces should avoid hairstyles that pull the hair back, like sleek ponytails, as these styles emphasize angular features and make them look even sharper.

2. Big nose

Choose hairstyles that widen your face so that your nose looks smaller. Different types of bangs do a great job: side-swept, curtain, or layered. You can do your hair up in a messy bun or a ponytail, letting a few strands fall on your head. Try to stay away from short and straight cuts.

3. Round face

Those who want to make their face appear more oval should definitely go for a shaggy wavy bob or face-framing balayage highlights. You can also add more volume on top and leave elongated locks by the sides. Stay away from sleek hairstyles and thick bangs, since horizontal lines will widen your face.

4. Double chin

Cropped haircuts are a big no-no if you have a double chin. Instead, go for bangs and curls, layered, or face-framing haircuts. This way, you’ll draw attention to your hair and not your chin.

Remember that having layers is the trick. They add volume and give the illusion of a narrow face. For short haircut lovers out there, opt for a layered chin-length bob cut, but make sure to keep the ends unevenly cut.

5. Small eyes

Avoid blunt and thick haircuts and focus instead on short hairstyles or low-volume cuts. Bangs are okay, but as long as they don’t cover your eyes and forehead completely. Pixie haircuts accentuate eyes, especially if your eyebrows can be seen well.

6. Oblong face

People with thin faces have more prominent noses, chins, and necks, and some haircuts can make their faces look even longer. Straight and long hair is a no, while hairstyles that add lots of volume are always welcome. Try a parted shaggy lob, an asymmetrical choppy lob, wispy-layered long hair, or a long wavy center-parted hairstyle.

7. Big forehead

If you want to make your forehead smaller, bangs are an absolute game-changer. Opt for full bangs or curtain bangs to cover up part of your forehead. Side-swept bangs can also do the trick by bringing attention diagonally across your face, making the forehead appear less pronounced. Bangs are the go-to solution for balancing a larger forehead while keeping things chic and fresh.

The perfect haircut is sorted, and now it’s time to choose a trendy manicure! Here, you’ll find the latest nail trends to complete your stylish look.
