What hairstyles suit my face shape?

Face shape is a starting point. Hair density, texture, curl pattern, hairline, styling time and what you want to emphasize matter just as much. Typical directions: a rounder face that wants length can try collarbone cuts, longer face-framing layers and a little crown lift; a defined jaw that wants softness can try soft layers, curved ends, a side part or curtain bangs; a longer face that wants width can try shoulder length, side volume and bangs; a face that’s wider on top can add volume near the chin. Compare three plans by length, bangs, layers and upkeep.

Short or long hair? Should I get bangs?

Compare in two steps. First, try three lengths on the same photo: chin, collarbone and upper chest. Then, at your favorite length, compare no bangs, curtain bangs and wispy bangs. Whether bangs work depends on your forehead, cowlicks, hairline, how oily your hair gets and your curl; curtain bangs are the easiest to grow out. Short hair isn’t automatically low-maintenance. Try clip-in bangs or pin your hair up before you cut.

Short or long? Bangs or not?

Compare in two steps. First, try three lengths on the same photo — chin, collarbone and upper chest. Then, at your favorite length, compare no bangs, curtain bangs and wispy bangs.

Bangs depend on forehead, cowlicks, hairline, how oily your hair gets and curl. Curtain bangs are the easiest to grow out. Short hair isn’t automatically low-maintenance — try clip-in bangs or pin your hair up before you cut.

When texture matters more than shape

Straight — hair texture example — Straight

Fine, straight hair falls flat at the crown, so a cut built on volume will fight you every morning. Thick curly hair expands at the sides, so it adds width whether you want it or not. Start from what your hair does naturally, then use length and layers to steer it toward your goal.
