Identify Your Face Shape
Before booking your next haircut, it’s important to know your face shape. The most common face shapes are:- Oval: Balanced features, slightly narrower at the chin than the forehead.
- Round: Equal width and height, with softer angles.
- Square: Strong jawline and broad forehead.
- Heart: Wider forehead and cheekbones with a narrower chin.
- Long/Oblong: Longer than wide with a high forehead.
Stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back, and trace the outline of your face. This simple exercise will guide your haircut choices.
Haircuts for Oval Faces
Lucky oval-faced ladies—you can usually pull off most haircut styles. The goal is to highlight your balanced proportions.- Long Layers: Add movement without taking away from your natural symmetry.
- Bob Cuts: Classic bobs, lobs, or asymmetrical cuts complement your face.
- Curtain Bangs: Soft layers around the face enhance features subtly.
At Regenerative Beauty Centre, we can personalize these styles with texturing or highlights to enhance your natural beauty.
Haircuts for Round Faces
Round faces benefit from cuts that create the illusion of length and add angles.- Long Layers: Draw attention downward, elongating the face.
- Side-Swept Bangs: Add angles and reduce the roundness of cheeks.
- Asymmetrical Cuts: Off-center bobs or layered cuts break symmetry, creating definition.
Avoid cuts that end at the chin level, as they can make the face appear wider. Instead, focus on styles that slim and elongate.
Haircuts for Heart-Shaped Faces
Heart-shaped faces shine with haircuts that balance a wide forehead and narrow chin.- Chin-Length Bobs: Add volume around the jawline.
- Side-Swept Bangs: Reduce width at the forehead.
- Layered Long Hair: Softens the face and adds harmony to proportions.
Our specialists use strategic layers and styling tips to bring out your best features.
