What haircut should I get?

The secret to a perfect haircut turns out to be twofold. You must first analyze your facial shape, and then select a cut that complements the texture of your hair.


While it's fun to mix things up and try something new, there's something to be said for a traditional, attractive shape as well. Consider it your go-to look, the one you'll go back to again and again.

The determinants are usually the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw.


Oval: Usually the length of the face is longer than its width and the forehead is the widest part of the face. Papa-Nikolas says this shape is usually considered the most desirable facial shape.


Square: Approximately one-to-one from length to width, with the same horizontal and vertical length, with a sharp jaw angle and minimal jaw curvature. Round: The ratio of length to width is about the same. A soft, rounded feature with flat cheekbones and prominent cheeks as the widest part of the face. It resembles a square face shape with a softer angle.


Heart: A pointed chin with a wide forehead and a narrow chin. It usually has the shape of an inverted triangle.


Elongated / Rectangle: If the width of the forehead, cheeks, and chin is about the same, or the distance from the forehead to the chin is slightly longer than the distance from the ear to the ear.


Diamond: Usually defined with high cheekbones, sharp chin, narrow forehead

The square face shape may consider softening the edges around the forehead and the thick chin line, so a wavy shag with fine fringes, a soft side bang, or a long layer with fringes is best. is. If you need something shorter than the asymmetric bangs, create a softer angle, says Papanikolas. The round face shape goes well with long bobs, says Pollack. Pollack pulls his eyes down and stretches his face visually.

The shape of the heart is best seen with blunt bangs and wavy layers, or a chin-length bob with bangs. The soft angle of the front, starting from under the face, helps balance the long forehead, says Pollack. According to Papanikolas, the key here is to narrow the bangs and create the illusion of a narrow top. The elongated / rectangular face shape takes a similar approach to a square face. Softens the edges and strong jawbone and adds layers, volume, curved or feathered fringes to the sides. Long layers and angles add movement and texture to the hair. The shape of the
