Face shape guide
Find your face shape in four measurements
This tool doesn't scan your face or tell you its shape — you decide. Take two minutes with a mirror and a soft tape measure, or a straight-on photo and a ruler. Pull your hair back, look straight ahead and note four numbers:
Forehead
Across the widest part, about halfway between your eyebrows and hairline.
Cheekbones
Across the highest point of each cheekbone, just below the outer corner of your eyes.
Jawline
From the tip of your chin to the corner of your jaw below one ear, then double it.
Face length
From the center of your hairline straight down to the tip of your chin.
Then find the description that fits

Oval
Face length is about one and a half times its width; the forehead is slightly wider than the jaw and the chin is softly rounded.

Round
Length and width are almost equal, the cheeks are the widest part and the jaw curves with no sharp angles.

Square
Forehead, cheekbones and jaw are close in width, with a strong, angular jaw and a flatter chin.

Heart
The forehead is the widest part and the face narrows through the cheeks to a small or pointed chin.

Diamond
The cheekbones are clearly the widest point, with a narrower forehead and a narrow, defined chin.

Long
The face is clearly longer than it is wide, and forehead, cheekbones and jaw are similar in width.
Most faces mix two shapes. Pick the closest — or shortlist a haircut for each and compare them on your photo.

Which hairstyle for my face shape?
Choose your shape to see cuts that usually flatter it, for women and men, plus what to approach with care. Every haircut here is in the tool: tap “Try this on my photo” and compare it on your own face.

Oval face
Balanced proportions, so almost any haircut works — choose by your hair's texture and how much styling you want to do.
Approach with care
- A heavy fringe that hides your balanced proportions
- Lots of height on top, which can make the face look longer
Women
Men

Round face
Add height and vertical lines, and keep extra width away from the cheeks.
Approach with care
- Rounded, chin-length bobs that end at the widest point
- Volume at the sides and blunt, straight-across bangs
Women
Men

Square face
Soften a strong jaw with texture, waves and layers that move.
Approach with care
- Blunt cuts that end exactly at the jaw
- Flat, severe center parts with no movement
Women
Men

Heart face
Balance a wider forehead with softness at the brow and fullness near the jaw.
Approach with care
- Volume at the crown and temples
- Slicked-back styles that show the full width of the forehead
Women
Men

Diamond face
Add width at the forehead and chin to balance prominent cheekbones.
Approach with care
- Very sleek, tight styles that expose narrow temples
- Center parts that fall flat against the cheekbones
Women
Men

Long face
Add width at the sides and shorten the face visually with a fringe; skip extra height.
Approach with care
- Tall pompadours, high quiffs and top knots
- Very long, straight, one-length hair with no layers

Men
How this haircut generator based on face shape works
You choose the shape
There's no automatic face-shape detection. Use the guide above — it takes a couple of minutes.
Pick a haircut, or let the AI pick
Choose a recommended haircut in the hairstyle row, or keep “AI Pick for My Face” to have the AI suggest one for the face in your photo. It's a suggestion, not a measurement.
Compare on your photo
Only your hair is redrawn, so you can judge proportions honestly. Your own photo answers “what's the best haircut for my face?” better than any chart. Not sold? Try your second choice on the same photo.
Haircut for face shape: men
Same rules, shorter hair. Round faces suit height on top with shorter sides, long faces suit a fringe like a French crop, and a square jaw can carry almost any classic short haircut. Switch the tool to Male to see every men's style.
Want more to compare? Browse every style in the hairstyle filter, see your current haircut in a new shade with the hair color simulator, or go back to the main hair makeover tool.
FAQ
Questions about the best haircut for my face
How to work out your face shape, shortlist a haircut or two and compare them on your own photo.
Can the tool detect my face shape automatically?
No. It doesn't measure your face or label its shape. Use the four-measurement guide on this page, or choose “AI Pick for My Face” and the AI will suggest a haircut for the face in your photo — without naming a shape.
How do I find the best haircut for my face without a stylist?
Measure your forehead, cheekbones, jaw and face length, match them to the closest shape, then shortlist two or three cuts from the picker. Try each haircut on the same selfie and take the version you like to the salon as a reference.
What's the best haircut for my face if I'm between two shapes?
Most people are. Shortlist one haircut from each of the two closest shapes and try both on the same photo. Seeing them side by side usually settles it faster than measuring again.
Is the best haircut for my face always the one my shape suggests?
Not always. Face shape is a starting point, but hair texture, density, cowlicks, your hairline and how long you want to spend styling matter just as much. Treat the picker as a shortlist and let the preview on your own photo make the final call.
Does thick or curly hair change the best haircut for my face?
Texture matters as much as shape. Curls and thick hair add width, so round and square faces often look best with extra length below the chin, while long faces gain from that natural volume. Try a curly haircut in the tool to see the difference.
Can I get a short haircut with a round face?
Yes, as long as the haircut adds height and keeps the sides close. A textured pixie with lift at the crown or a side-swept fringe works well, and so does a lob that ends below the chin. Be careful with rounded bobs that stop at the cheeks.
Which haircut suits a long face or a high forehead?
Look for a haircut that adds width and breaks up the length. Curtain bangs or a full fringe shorten the face visually, while a chin-length French bob or soft waves add fullness at the sides. Skip tall quiffs and long, straight one-length hair, which stretch the face further.
Is the best haircut for my face different for men?
The rules are the same; only the lengths change. Height on top balances a round face, a fringe shortens a long one, and texture softens a square jaw. A beard reshapes your jawline too, so preview the haircut and the facial hair separately.
Which photo should I upload to find the best haircut for my face?
A front-facing selfie in even daylight, hair pulled away from your face, no hat or sunglasses. JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. The clearer your jaw and hairline, the easier it is to judge how a haircut frames your face.
Do failed generations use up credits?
No. Each result uses credits, but if a generation fails, the credits are refunded automatically — you only pay for results you actually get.
