Oval faces can handle the most range

Oval face shapes tend to work with blunt bobs, long layers, curtain bangs, and tucked styles because the base proportions already feel balanced.

Round faces benefit from vertical lines

Long layers, airy volume at the crown, and face-framing pieces that fall below the chin can visually lengthen the face. Very full width at cheek level can make the outline read rounder.

Square faces often look great with softness

Movement around the jawline, textured waves, side parts, and soft fringe can offset angular lines while still keeping structure.

Heart and oblong shapes need different balance

Heart-shaped faces often suit chin-level fullness or side-swept fringe to balance a wider forehead. Oblong faces usually benefit from width and bend rather than extra vertical length.
