No matter your face shape, there will be cuts that look best on you. (Except for this style which looks great on almost everyone). Here’s a quick guide of what to look for and what to avoid for five different face shapes.

Oval Face Shapes

The oval face is the most versatile face. You can pull off almost any look — short or long, straight or wavy. But for the most flattering look on you, consider your best feature and highlight it with your haircut.

If you have gorgeous bone structure, consider an angular bob that shows off your chin. Great eyes? Bluntor side-swept bangs are a great bet.

Styles that are flattering and stylish: Chin-skimming bobs, blunt bangs, long, beachy waves (think California surfer girl).

Avoid: Short layers that add height on top of your head. Aside from being dated, short layers can make your face appear long. If your hair is thick or curly, avoid a blunt cut. You’ll look like a pyramid. If you have curly hair, short hair is generally a no-no. Try shoulder-length or longer to weigh down curls.
