The Best Haircuts for Your Face Shape, According to Stylists

Diamond Face Shape: Sleek Bob

A chin-length bob, like Tessa Thompson's, can help widen the look of the jaw to create harmony and style, says Adriano Cattide, creative director at New York City-based salon The Drawing Room.

Blow it out with a round brush — we recommend Hot Tools 24K Gold One-Step Blowout And Volumizer ($75) — to recreate her sleek, tucked style.

Diamond Face Shape: Voluminous Waves

A medium-length cut with a deep side part, like Jennifer Lopez's 'do here, will help to rebalance the proportions of a diamond face shape, explains Cattide.

Part your hair deeper than usual on one side of your head and straighten, curl, or tousle to style. Use Living Proof Flex Hairspray ($32) for lightweight texture and hold.

Diamond Face Shape: Long, Soft Waves

Long waves or curls parted down the middle à la Megan Fox's can help deliver a softer appearance. "Important characteristics of this shape are wide cheekbones and a narrow forehead and jawline, so you want to soften the sharp angles," explains Cattide.

Try styling with a big-barrel curling iron, like the Paul Mitchell Express Ion Curl+ XL Curling Iron ($105) for soft, bouncy waves.

Round Face Shape: Choppy Pixie

If you're wondering whether round faces can pull off short hair, the answer is a resounding yes. "If you're going to go short, go short all the way," says celebrity hairstylist Garren.

"The choppy pieces up top add height, lengthen your face, and emphasize your eyes," says Garren of Ginnifer Goodwin's look. To style, use the Eva NYC Mini Healthy Heat Ceramic Flat Iron ($30). Because of its miniature size, you can actually grasp your shortest strands.

Round Face Shape: Layered Lob

Show off your features with a choppy, layered bob like Taraji P. Henson. "It works here because she's chosen a side part, so it gives something for the eye to follow," says Honey Artists hairstylist Michael Lollo.

If you have bangs and want a side part, the first piece of your bang should break at your eye, adds Lollo. Create beachy waves with T3 Whirl Trio ($325), a product we swear by with interchangeable barrels.

Round Face Shape: Long, Wavy Layers

Gemma Chan's long, wavy layers are an easy way to make your hair seem fuller. A scattering of light layers on the bottom keeps volume controlled and adds shape and framing around the face, notes Cattide.

You can play up your natural texture (and avoid damaging heat) by adding in a bit of product, such as Pantene Pro-V Level 4 Extra Strong Hold Texture-Building Hairspray ($5), for all-day volume and extra hold.

Heart Face Shape: Long Pixie

Rowan Blanchard's long pixie with bangs suits her heart-shaped face perfectly. A choppy fringe and long sideburns complement her features. To get her piece-y texture, try Verb Sculpting Clay ($20). It's weightless so that your strands stay styled without any crunchiness or stickiness.

Heart Face Shape: Long, Loose Layers

A collarbone-length cut with sweeping bangs and uniform layers, like Reese Witherspoon's shoulder-skimming layers, draws your eyes away from the chin area to create balance.

For a full-bodied look like Witherspoon's, we swear by the ghd Air Hair Dryer ($199). It's powerful enough to cut down on drying time while leaving hair soft, shiny, and frizz-free.

Heart Face Shape: Brushed-Out Curls

According to Lollo, long hair is especially flattering on heart-shaped faces. "But one thing you want to do is have some layers that break at the cheekbone and the chin to bring some of the attention to that area," advises.

For voluminous waves like Ciara, try a texturizing spray or let your hair air-dry with a product like Living Proof Perfect Hair Day In-Shower Styler ($31). It enhances your hair's natural texture and leaves hair softer and shinier.

Oval Face Shape: Chin-Length Bob

Oval faces are naturally balanced. "This face shape is the easiest to carry off any kind of haircut," says Lollo. For a classic cut, consider a face-framing bob like Jordan Dunn. To land her high-gloss finish, reach for Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Strengthening Treatment Hair Oil ($30).

Oval Face Shape: Collarbone-Grazing Loose Curls

Kate Middleton's layers may look uniform, but there is a bit of differentiation. The subtle variations in length keep your strands from lying flat against your head and help your hair look more voluminous and thicker.

Oval Face Shape: Long, Tousled Layers

A long, side-swept style, like Michelle Yeoh's, can balance out oval faces just as effectively as a bob. With a hair flip or even side-swept bangs, you can partially cover the area between your hairline and brow, which flatters your face, notes Garren.

Square Face Shape: Tucked Bob

Lucy Boynton's voluminous bob with long layers frames her square-shaped face and softens her jawline. When styling this cut, spritz in Moroccanoil Perfect Defense ($30) prior to blow-drying to avoid heat damage. This is especially important if you have a platinum hair color similar to Boynton's.

Square Face Shape: Medium-Length Layers

For those with square-shaped faces, consider avoiding blunt ends, says Garren. Instead, opt for a light scattering of layers to soften the entire face, top to bottom. Salma Hayek shows us how it's done.

Square Face Shape: Long Layers With Side Part

Feathery layers (which can be achieved with a razor) and sweeping bangs flatter a strong chin. Garren recommends parting at the side for an asymmetrical effect, as seen on Olivia Wilde here, to balance out the squareness of the jaw.

Even if you don't have a wavy hair texture like Wilde's, you can still get that effortless bend with Bumble & bumble Surf Spray ($32).
