Whether you have an oval, round, square, or heart-shaped face, there's a perfect haircut for you.

How to Determine Your Face Shape

Before diving into the different haircuts, it's essential to understand your face shape. This step is crucial as it will help you choose a style that will enhance your natural assets while minimizing aspects you might want to downplay. Your face shape greatly influences the overall appearance of your haircut, and a good understanding of it will allow you to make informed choices at your next hairdresser appointment.


To determine your face shape, start by standing in front of a mirror with your hair pulled back. Carefully observe the contours of your face, paying particular attention to the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jaw. Here are some clues to help you determine your type:


  • Oval face: length about one and a half times the width

  • Round face: length and width almost equal

  • Square face: pronounced jaw and wide forehead

  • Heart-shaped face: wide forehead and pointed chin


Once you've identified your face type, you can start exploring haircuts that will flatter you the most. Remember that these categories are general guides and that each face is unique. That's why it's always beneficial to consult a professional hairdresser who can offer you personalized advice.


The Best Haircuts for Each Face Type

Each face type has its own unique characteristics, and the goal of a good haircut is to enhance these features while creating a balanced and harmonious appearance. Whether you're looking for a radical change or just a subtle update to your current style, there are a multitude of options for each face shape.


Oval Face: The Versatile Shape

People with an oval face are lucky, as most haircuts suit them well. This face shape is considered ideal due to its balanced proportions. However, certain styles can particularly enhance their harmonious features:


  • The long bob: This classic haircut perfectly frames the oval face, highlighting the cheekbones and jawline.

  • Long hair with layers: Add movement and texture to your hair while maintaining length.


At Cam & Roro, stylists are experts in the art of personalizing these haircuts to perfectly harmonize with your unique features. They can adjust the length and angle of the layers to highlight your best assets and create a look that truly resembles you.


Round Face: Creating the Illusion of Length

For round faces, the goal is to visually lengthen the face and create soft angles. The ideal haircuts for this face type aim to add structure and create the illusion of a more elongated face. Here are some recommended options:


  • The long layered cut: This haircut adds verticality to the face, creating the illusion of a more elongated oval. Long, tapered layers that start at chin level or below can help visually lengthen the face.

  • The asymmetrical fringe: It brings a touch of originality while breaking the roundness of the face. A side-swept fringe can add an interesting angle and soften the face's contours.


Cam & Roro's hairdressers are trained to adapt these styles to your hair texture and daily routine, ensuring a haircut that is both flattering and practical. They can also advise you on the best styling techniques to maintain the lengthening effect throughout the day.


Square Face: Softening the Angles

For a square face, the ideal is to choose haircuts that soften the pronounced angles of the jaw and forehead. The goal is to create balance by adding softness and movement around the face. Here are some options to consider:


  • The wavy bob: This haircut adds softness and movement around the face, attenuating straight lines. Soft waves can help soften the angular jaw and create a more rounded silhouette.

  • Long, tapered layers: They create a soft silhouette that compliments angular features. Layers starting at chin level or below can help soften the jawline while maintaining a flattering length.


These styles can be personalized to suit your hair texture and lifestyle. A professional hairdresser can help you find the length and type of layers that will work best for your unique square face.


Heart-Shaped Face: Balancing Proportions

For heart-shaped faces, the goal is to balance the wide forehead with the narrower chin. The ideal haircuts for this face type aim to create the illusion of a more balanced face by adding volume at the chin level and softening the width of the forehead. Here are suitable options:


  • The textured pixie: This short and bold haircut highlights the cheekbones while softening the chin line. The added texture on top can help balance a wide forehead.

  • The lob (long bob): It brings volume to the sides, thus balancing the face's proportions. This versatile cut can be styled with soft waves to add movement and softness around the face.


These cuts can be adjusted to suit your hair texture and personal style. An experienced hairdresser can help you find the length and style that will best highlight your unique features.
