Find Your Perfect Match: How Your Face Shape Influences Your Hairstyle

At MBS Beauty Studio and Spa, we believe an essential element to revamp your look is by finding the perfect hairstyle that complements your face shape. 

Just as an outfit can flatter certain body shapes, particular hairstyles magnify the beauty of different face shapes. Discovering your face shape and selecting a corresponding hairstyle can be a game-changer, highlighting your best features while subtly concealing your less favorable ones.

What's Your Face Shape?

The first step is to determine your face shape. There are primarily six face shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, and rectangular. Look straight into the mirror with your hair pulled back and trace the outline of your face using a marker on the mirror - the shape you draw will determine your face shape. Here's a brief description of each shape:

1. Oval: Slightly longer than wide with no sharp angles.

2. Round: Equally wide and long, characterized by soft, rounded edges.

3. Square: The width and length are about equal, with a distinctly angular jawline.

4. Heart: Wide at the forehead and cheekbones but narrow at the jawline.

5. Diamond: Wide at the cheekbones but narrow at the forehead and jawline.

6. Rectangular: Like the oval shape but with a longer length.

Hairstyles for Different Face Shapes

Now that you know your face shape let's explore how to enhance it with the perfect hairstyle.

Oval Faces

Renowned for being the most balanced face shape, oval faces are versatile and can pull off almost any hairstyle, from long flowing locks to a short and edgy pixie. However, layers that start at the cheekbones can add depth and structure to your face.

Round Faces

With round faces, the goal is to elongate the appearance and offset the roundness. Longer, layered cuts work well, as does adding volume on top. Steer clear from short, curly styles that can accentuate the roundness.

Square Faces

The strong, angular jawline of square faces pairs well with softer, more rounded hairstyles. Think flowing curls or long, layered cuts that start from the jawline. Avoid blunt cut bobs and choose side parts over middle parts to soften the angular features.

Heart Faces

Heart-shaped faces have a broader brow and a narrower chin. Play with styles that add volume towards the bottom of your face, like side-swept bangs, long bobs, or waves starting from the ear-level down. Avoid heavy fringes that can make the forehead appear wider.

Diamond Faces

As the widest point in diamond-shaped faces is at the cheekbones, hairstyles that add width at the forehead and chin work best. Bangs, chin-length bobs, or shoulder-length cuts are great choices. Avoid high ponytails, which can make the forehead look narrower.

Rectangular Faces

To balance the length of rectangular faces, hairstyles that add width are ideal. Layered cuts, waves, or curls work beautifully. Avoid long straight styles, which can lengthen the face.
