Soft textured crop
A short crop with a little movement follows the gentle jaw taper without adding much height.
YOUR NEXT GOOD HAIR IDEAFind a shape.
Find a shape.
Make it your style.
Think of these as ideas to bring to your stylist. Your texture, density, routine and personal taste belong in the conversation, too.
Oval faces
An oval outline leaves room for many silhouettes. Hair density, texture and upkeep matter as much as shape.

Shoulder-length layers
Gentle layers offer movement around the face without concentrating all the volume in one place.
long length · illustration
Long flowing layers
Start a few face-framing layers below the chin and let your natural texture set the rhythm.
Volume: Explore balanced volume at the crown and sides; adjust it to your hair texture and routine.
Parting: Try a center part for symmetry or an off-center part for a softer frame.
Round faces
Contrast is optional. A rounded cut can be just as expressive if you enjoy a soft, cohesive look.

Asymmetric crop
A lightly side-swept fringe introduces a diagonal line around a rounded outline.

Collarbone-length lob
A length below the chin with gentle front layers creates a longer frame around the face.

Long face-framing layers
Longer front pieces create vertical lines while leaving plenty of room for curls or waves.
Volume: If you want a longer-looking silhouette, experiment with a little height at the crown and less width at cheek level.
Parting: An off-center or side part can add a diagonal line. A center part with longer layers is another option.
Square faces
You can soften your outline or emphasize it with a precise cut. Neither approach is more correct.

Rounded textured crop
Soft edges and an unstructured fringe contrast with a more angular jaw.

Shoulder-length waves
Loose waves and flexible layers introduce curved lines around the cheek and jaw.

Long feathered layers
Light layers beginning below the cheekbones add movement while keeping the length you enjoy.
Volume: Soft movement around the temples and jaw can contrast with defined lower-face angles.
Parting: A relaxed side part introduces asymmetry. A center part with soft waves can frame the jaw without hiding it.
Heart faces
Upper-face width is an estimate, not a hairline measurement. Choose styles around your real hair growth pattern.

Jaw-length bob
A bob with softly turned ends draws attention to the jaw and adds width around the lower face.

Collarbone waves
Let volume build toward the ends, with relaxed waves around the chin and shoulders.

Long layers with full ends
Keep some weight at the ends and add face-framing movement below the cheeks.
Volume: Try movement near the jaw or ends if you want to add visual width lower down.
Parting: A relaxed off-center part or side-swept fringe can create a softer transition across the upper face.
Diamond faces
Avoid hiding features you enjoy. Slicked-back styles can deliberately highlight cheekbones, too.

Airy fringe crop
A light fringe adds texture near the temples while leaving the cheekbones visible.

Curtain-fringe shag
Airy front layers open around the temples, with relaxed movement through the ends.
long length · illustration
Long waves with curtain layers
Soft front sections frame the upper face and blend into waves below the jaw.
Volume: Soft width near the temples or jaw can balance a cheekbone-led outline when that is your styling goal.
Parting: Try a side part or airy curtain fringe to frame a narrower upper face.
Oblong faces
A longer outline is not something to correct. These ideas simply let you explore different visual proportions.

Rounded chin-length bob
A fuller shape around the jaw creates horizontal movement and an expressive outline.

Shoulder-length waves
Waves around the sides add width, with a fringe as an optional finishing detail.

Long layers with a soft fringe
If you love long hair, side volume and a soft fringe can bring a different balance to the length.
Volume: If you want a wider-looking silhouette, try volume at the sides rather than extra height at the crown.
Parting: A fringe, soft side part or loose curtain shape can break up a long vertical line.
