Hairstyles for your face shape

By TQ Tech

Why face shape matters for hair

Hair adds width, height, or softness where your face needs balance. The right cut can make a round face look longer, soften a square jaw, or add volume where a narrow forehead needs it.

General principles by shape

• Oval: Most styles work; avoid heavy bangs that hide your balanced proportions.
• Round: Add height on top and avoid width at the cheeks.
• Square: Softer layers and texture; side parts can reduce boxiness.
• Heart: Balance a wider forehead with volume at jaw level.
• Diamond: Add width at forehead and chin; soften cheekbone width.
• Oblong: Avoid extra length; bangs or horizontal volume help.
• Triangle: Volume at forehead; avoid emphasizing a wide jaw.
