That's right, certain haircuts are more flattering than others depending upon the face shape you have. Therefore, irrespective of trends, the haircut that truly reflects your personality, is what is in sync with your contour. So, before going for the scissors, it's imperative to have an idea of which haircut will be best for your face shape. Do you want to know which haircut best fits you? Let's give you a walkthrough on how to find the best haircut for your face shape.

Quick overview of the different types of Face Shapes

To choose the best haircut for yourself, you should know about your face type. 

S. No.	Face Shape	Description
	Round	Full cheeks, rounded chin, width and length are similar
	Oval	Balanced proportions, slightly rounded jawline
	Square	Strong jawline, equal width across forehead, cheeks, and jaw
	Heart-shaped	Wide forehead, narrow chin, high cheekbones
	Diamond	Narrow forehead and chin, prominent cheekbones
	Long	Long face with a high forehead and chin

Best Haircuts for Each Face Shape

There are some haircuts that can add structure and make one's round face appear longer:

• Round Face - Faux Hawk and Undercut

A round face, which is defined as having chubby cheeks and a bulging chin, is favored by haircuts that give form and make it look longer. You can go with the Faux Hawk cut which is characterized by added height and structure, resulting in a balance between roundness and angularity. If you want something more simple and manly, try the undercut which generates sharp angles and contrasts, making your face less round and more

• Oval Face - Crew Cut or Buzz Cut

You have won the jackpot in terms of hairstyling if you have an oval face. It's the most adaptable face shape since you can adopt almost every hairstyle; however few styles will favor it more than others. We recommend Crew Cut first which is a fresh and precise style that improves your inherent balanced features. Buzz Cut also goes well since it's simple, neat, and offers a symmetry appreciation to your face. Want something radical? Go with a Pompadour cut that will provide volume which creates additional height without making the shape of the face seem too big.

• Square Face - Side Part or French Crop

Square-shaped faces have features that are typically strong and angular. Try Side-part haircuts that balance the strong jawline and soften the facial features. The same goes for the French Crop cut which gives neat sides and adds texture to the top. However, if you wish to make your face look a bit longer we recommend Textured Quiff as it gives an impression of extra height and volume giving your face more length.

• Heart-shaped Face - Rough Fringe or Classic Taper

A heart-shaped face translates to a broader-than-forehead and conical chin and as such, a balanced haircut is necessary to achieve a symmetrical look. A rough Fringe cut balances the broad forehead making it softer and the narrow chin gets equalized. Likewise, classic taper is also a good choice with longer sides that compliment the chin and make your face appear more a bit round.

• Diamond Face - Textured Crop or Short Sides

If you have a diamond face shape characterized by a narrow forehead, chin, and prominent cheekbones, the Textured Crop is the best haircut as it provides volume on top that offsets the angularity of prominent cheekbones. Short Sides with Volume on Top also look awesome on diamond-shaped faces as they add some heaviness to the forehead region so that the slim chin is equally well-balanced.

• Long Face - Classic Caesar or Fringe Cut

Classic Caesar haircuts work well for people with long faces that appear too long due to high foreheads or chins. This helps retain proportion but enhances breadth. Likewise, fringe cuts can also look good on a long face if you want to add fullness to the forehead, thus balancing a wider chin in a more rectangular face.

What Else to Consider When Choosing the Best Haircut for Your Face Shape?

While face shape is essential when picking your hairstyle, there are some other things you should also look at to make sure that the haircut really does fit you right:

• Your Hair's Particular Texture

The texture of your hair can affect what it looks like when you have had a certain style done. For instance, curly hair often requires more layers to maintain its shape and definition. Layers help keep curls well-defined without becoming too bulky.

• Your Lifestyle

When picking a haircut, your lifestyle matters greatly. Low-maintenance hairstyles are appropriate if you want something that can be managed and styled easily on a daily basis such as buzz cut. On the other hand, in case you are adventurous with your looks, you can be more flexible with your haircut and try various styling alternatives. But we still recommend sticking to the face shape first and trying variations of hairstyle that fit your contour.

• Finding the Right Stylist

Finding the right hair stylist is as critical as choosing haircuts per your face shapes. A professional can transform your looks completely based on your face type. Besides they know how well one style fits with someone and what's the latest trend. That's why we recommend always trusting a professional to get the best haircut.
