Follow our guide to the most
flattering cut for your facial structure

Oval
Oval face shapes are perfectly
in proportion, with features nicely balanced, a
narrow forehead tapering into a small chin via wide,
defined cheekbones. Be as daring as you wish: short,
long, one-length, layers, fringes, up, off the face
- even shaved. All will suit you, as you've no need
to compensate for any dominant or weak points.

Knightley, Natalie Portman |

Heart
Similar to the oval, but the
top half of the face is wider and narrows below
the cheekbones to a delicate, yet pointed chin.
Curls and waves introduced around level with the
cheekbones will widen the appearance of the chin
and jawbone and make the face appear better proportioned
and essentially oval. Avoid sleek, jaw-length bobs
that hug the chin, though - flicked-out ends will
create a more balanced outline. Again, a fringe
is an option.

Dunst, Victoria Beckham |
Round
The face is full-cheeked and
circular. Keep hair sleek at the sides and lengthen
the face by choosing a hairdo with plenty of volume
on top. Bardot-esque '60s-influenced styles with
a bit of backcombing at the roots are ideal. Avoid
curved or geometric styles, as they will only accentuate
roundness. Also avoid hard lines and wide, block
fringes that finish just above the eyebrows. Feathered
or layered hair falling onto the face will help
create sleeker proportions, and sweeping fringes
will have a slimming effect. Keep curly hair all
one length and, ideally, long to avoid bulk. Full
curls accentuate roundness, but high ponytails and
up-dos with loose tendrils around the hairline and
sides are all options.

How closely does hairdressing follow women's
fashion?
Hair and women's fashion goes hand in
hand really; hairstyles should always
complement clothes and fashion.

Square
A broad forehead and a strong
square or angular jawline dominate your face. Slim
those broad cheekbones with long styles and chin-length
layers. Fringes will focus attention on your eyes:
opt for longer, broken-up, full ones or wispy half-fringes.
Textured bob cuts, which fall onto the face, and
curls kissing the cheeks will both slim down the
widest points of the face and help re-balance it.

Billie Piper, Jada Pinkett
