>>Round Face
You're face is round if it's as long as it is wide. If you have a round face, you're goal should be to elongate it as much as possible by adding volume and layers to your hair. Try bangs that are feathered, or side-swept, which will soften your face shape and make it appear more elongated. Going for gentle waves is also another style that works well.
>>Heart Face
Heart shaped faces have narrow chins and wider cheekbones. Go for curly and soft hairstyles, ones that cut right at the chin and give off the appearance of everything being symmetrical. Never slick your hair back for this look--don't do anything that overemphasizes the upper portion of your face. If your really want to go for the bangs, wispy ones will do the trick to make your face shape look flattering.
>>Oval Face
A rounded hairline with a narrower jaw line than the temples. Consider yourself blessed if you were born with an oval face. You're one of the only face shapes that can wear almost any hairstyle and still look great. Avoid heavy bangs, which can hide your face and make it appear smaller. Your best option to having bangs is to opt for blunt ones.
>>Square Face
A square jaw line and hairline. Those with square face shapes have a little more freedom with hairstyles. They can go for longer lengths with sided parts and layers or waves. Avoid bobs and parting your hair down the middle, but opt for bangs that are side-swept and sexy.
>>Oblong Face
Your face is longer than it is wide, with a rounded hairline and jaw line. Go for longer hairstyles that add height and width at the temples and cheekbones. Make sure there's volume around the neck and play with wispy bangs if your forehead is high. Don't get short hair, and avoid parting your hair in the middle. If you opt for long hair, make sure it has some layers to soften your face shape.
>>Diamond Face
A mix between oval and heart shape, with the cheekbones the widest. Bobs look good on a few people, and those with a diamond face look great with short, edgy styles. Those with diamond face shapes should always have some sort of bangs that shorten their foreheads and round their face more. You're also one of the few who can part their hair down the middle and still look great.
>>Triangular Shape
This one has a strong jaw line and narrow cheekbones. Shorter hairstyles work best for those with a triangular face shape. Most people with triangular shapes have prominent jaw lines, so layers at a short length will compliment your face the best. Avoid longer hairstyles, which will only add width to your jaw line.
