The Best Haircuts for Your Face Shape, According to Stylists
Based on the search results, here are the recommended haircuts for various face shapes according to professional stylists:
Pear Face:
- Softer, rounder, and wider hairstyles to de-emphasize the width of the jaw.
- Aim for hairstyles that add roundness and width to the brow and top.
- Consider close-crop buzzcuts or haircuts with soft sides to promote roundness and width.
Oval Face:
- Oval faces can rock pixie cuts, blunt bobs, long locks, and more.
- Curled styles look especially great, adding volume to the sides.
Square Face:
- Tousled lob, long and voluminous waves, blunt chin-length bob, angled bob, curly bob, and textured lob are suitable. *Avoid blunt styles and opt for soft layers to promote roundness and pull focus away from the face length.
Round Face:
- Long layers, choppy pixie cuts, and soft side-swept bangs are recommended.
- Avoid short layers, full curls, and precise bobs, as they can emphasize roundness.
Heart-Shaped Face:
- Side part with flowing waves and curls, long layered cuts, and side-parted pixies or bobs work well. *Avoid genres that overemphasize the jawline or add width to the forehead.
Rectangle Face:
- Light, face-framing layers, rounded fringes or curtain bangs, and soft, round fringes. *Avoid blunt styles and longer cuts that add unnecessary length to the face.
Oblong Face:
- Tousled lob, long and voluminous waves, blunt chin-length bob, wide, natural shape with textured layers, and round fringes. *Avoid harsh, lean, angular haircuts.
