Face shape types
The six most common face shapes, explained simply.
Oval
Balanced proportions, softly rounded edges, and a face length slightly longer than width.
Round
Width and length are close, with full cheeks and a smooth jawline instead of angular edges.
Heart
Wider forehead, narrower chin, and visible cheekbones that create a lighter lower face.
Diamond
Narrow forehead and jaw with strong cheekbones that become the dominant width of the face.
Square
Similar width through forehead, cheekbones, and jawline, with a broad and structured outline.
Oblong
Longer than wide, with straighter sides and a more elongated, rectangular appearance.
Hairstyle ideas
Turn a face shape result into immediate haircut inspiration.

Best directions
Round
Long layers, side-swept shapes, volume on top, and cuts that create more vertical line.
Square
Soft waves, curtain bangs, textured movement, and styles that ease strong jaw angles.
Oval
Blunt bob, long waves, pixie cuts, and most balanced silhouettes with minimal correction needed.
Heart
Chin-length fullness, soft fringe, side parts, and shapes that balance a broader forehead.
Diamond
Shoulder-length cuts, textured bobs, and side parts that flatter prominent cheekbones.
Oblong
Shoulder-length cuts, bends, fringe, and styles that visually add width rather than height.

It finally gave me a face shape answer that made sense, and the haircut direction felt immediately usable instead of vague.

I used it before a haircut and it helped me narrow down styles in minutes. The result felt much more practical than guessing from blog images.

The best part was understanding why certain looks worked for me. It felt like a smart styling shortcut, not just a novelty test.
FAQ
Questions people ask before uploading a photo.
How do I get the most accurate result?
Use a straight-on photo with one visible face, soft lighting, and little to no tilt. Pulling hair away from the face usually helps too.
Can this help me choose a hairstyle?
Yes. The point of the result is not just the label itself, but the styling direction that follows from your proportions.
Do I need to download anything?
No. The experience is designed to work directly in the browser on desktop or mobile.
What if my face sits between two categories?
That is normal. Many faces land between shapes, which is why showing a primary and secondary match is more useful than forcing a single rigid label.
