In order to choose the right haircut it is important to know the shape of your face. Knowing your face shape is key so that you will accentuate your positive features. A haircut that doesn’t fit you can actually take away from your look rather than be an exciting daring new adventure. A perfect cut that compliments you can literally change a perception. Hairstyles bring out radiance, personal style and personality. Your look shows who you are. If you are a mother/housewife, socialite, comedian by nature, or even a very serious business man/woman your look translates that. Here are some face shapes to help with your transition:

Round Face
A round shaped face is usually wide and is round at the hairline and jawline.
On a round shaped face, hairstyles should have height to create length to the face. When getting a haircut keeping length in the crown area takes away from the width of the cheeks. Bangs are great, try styling them to the side. A side part with ears exposed is also an option.

Square Face
A square shaped face is similar to the round shaped face except the hairline and jawline is square. The features are wide also.
On a square shaped face side parts are great. Hair that’s styled towards your face is ideal. A layered bob precision cut around the face with a part would be a nice choice. The key is to soften the jawline with the layers.

Diamond Face

On a diamond shaped face try hairstyles that create width around the forehead and jawline. Hair that’s styled close to the head is also ideal for the diamond shaped face. Showing the cheeks while creating fullness around the forehead and chin area would look great!
