Identify your face shape: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, or long
Pull your hair back and compare your forehead, cheekbones, jawline, and face length in a mirror
Take a straight-on photo and trace your face outline to help see the shape
Match styles to your face shape:
Oval: most hairstyles work well
Round: choose styles with height, layers, or side parts
Square: choose soft layers, waves, or textured cuts
Heart: choose chin-length styles, side-swept bangs, or volume near the jaw
Diamond: choose styles with width at the forehead and jaw, plus soft layers
Long: choose styles with bangs, waves, or volume on the sides
Consider your hair texture: straight, wavy, curly, or coily
Consider your hair density: thin, medium, or thick
Consider your hairline and forehead size
Consider your lifestyle and how much styling time you want
Try virtual hairstyle apps or consult a stylist for a personalized match
