Choosing the best hairstyle, whether long or short, to complement your facial features is only partially important, as it is equally necessary to consider your face shape. A few basic face shapes include round, square, oval, diamond, heart, and rectangular.
- Oval: Forehead slightly wider than the chin, face length about 1.5 times its width.
- Round: Prominent, rounded cheeks, equal width and length of the face.
- Square: Prominent jaw and square chin, similar width of forehead and jawline.
- Oblong: Longer face shape than oval, not as wide, often with a narrow chin.
- Heart: Wider forehead and cheekbones, narrow jawline and chin.
- Diamond: Narrow forehead and jawline, the widest point at the cheekbones.
