Oval Face (The Ideal)
Also known as the "Egg Shape," this is universally considered the most balanced face shape. The proportions are perfect, allowing for maximum versatility.
1.1 Standard Oval Face
Smooth contours with no sharp angles. You hit the jackpot! Almost any hairstyle works for you, as long as you style it well.
1.2 Long Oval Face
Slightly longer silhouette. Tip: Avoid exposing your entire forehead. Use bangs or side-swept styles to balance the length.
1.3 Wide Oval Face
Fuller contours. Strategy: Add height/volume at the top (like a Quiff) to elongate the face. Avoid too much width on the sides.
3
Square Face (The Masculine)
Strong jawline, angular features. The classic "Box" shape.
3.1 Classic Square Face
Strong jaw. Goal: Soften the angles with texture. Side-swept or messy textures work best.
3.2 Rectangular (Long Square) Face
Avoid too much height on top. Focus on diagonal texture and side volume to balance the length.
3.3 High Forehead Rectangle
Keep the top low and consider bangs (fringe) to cover the high forehead.
5
Triangle Face (Pear Shape)
Narrow forehead, wide jawline. Goal: Add width to the top.
5.1 Classic Triangle
Avoid: Ultra short sides. Keep sides fuller to balance the wide jaw. Volume on top is key.
5.2 Wide Triangle
Maximize horizontal width at the temples with a messy fringe or textured top.
5.3 Long Triangle
Use bangs to shorten the face, but keep them textured to avoid boxiness.
