Oval Shape
Aren't you the lucky one. All hairstyles work for your face shape. You have the luxury to choose if you want long hair, short hair, curly hair, or even if you like it flat. All's cool. Well, for the best look, you could consider medium length hair, light waves or a bob.

Square Shape
We know, the jaw bone can be quite annoying given today's beauty standard of a sharp chin. Well, we recommend that you try to soften the sharp corners of your face and avoid chin-length hairstyles. Short hair will accentuate the lines even more. Go for shoulder length and beyond for a narrower chin look. No worries about the forehead, they say people with higher foreheads are smart (; Correct it with bangs but not the split-in-the-middle kind of bangs, but a side bangs so it's not symmetrical. What you want to do is to break the visual square. Go for multiple layers or even long curls!

Long/Oblong Shape
Not to be confused with oval, you tend to have a longer face shape than wide, typically longer chin and forehead. Girl, make bangs your best friend. Wear it thick, side, air or whatever. Go for layered hair, medium length, loose waves, low curls and yes, you can try short bob too! It makes you look younger. Avoid high buns and high ponytails.

Round Shape
Some say avoid bob hairstyle as it will make you look rounder, the good news is you can still go for it and look sassy. Pixie is the most popular short hair go-to for round faces though. If you like glamorous long hair, try curling it outwards, inwards curl wouldn't work too well. If you have bangs, split it in the middle to break the circle. Long hair works better or long fringe. It doesn't matter straight or wavy, you can do both!

Heart Shape
The typical to die for V-shaped face. A short hairstyle is still a thumb up even if you go all the way up to your ears. The idea is to highlight your chin and cheeks. Any hairstyle goes, just make sure you volume the top. Layers are awesome and so are inwards curls. Side ponytails, bangs or no bangs anything goes! Everyone hates you but they still like your face shape.

Diamond Shape
For diamond shape face, soften the appearance of the cheeks. You can add volume to the top, and go for a side bangs look! What's most appropriate would be medium length hair, thick fringe with waves, or even Pixie! Many celebrities with this face shape tend to go for bangs once in a while to look younger and friendlier.
