The first key to figuring out the perfect hairstyles for you face shape is to find out what grouping you fall into: Oval, Round, Oblong, Heart, Square or Diamond.
You can find out what group you fall into by making a series of measurements.
- Measure across the top of your cheekbones at the widest point.
- Measure across your forehead at the widest point.
- Measure across your jaw line at the widest point
- Measure from the edge of your hairline to the bottom of your chin.
Once you've done that, use those measurements to fit yourself into one of the categories below:
Oval:
Length is equal to one and a half times your width.
Round:
Length measurement more or less matches you width measurement. Both your forehead and jaw width should be narrower than the cheekbone width.
Oblong:
Oblong, or rectangle is significantly longer than it is wide.
Heart:
Much narrower at the jaw line than at the cheekbones or forehead.
Square:
As wide as you are long.
Diamond:
Widest at the cheekbones, with their jaw and forehead measurements being approximately the same as each other, and much narrower than the cheekbones.
Now that you've figured out what category you belong to, read on to find out what cuts will suit you best!
