Picking the perfect hairstyle and wig can be difficult, and the best place to start is with the shape of your face.  The same haircut will not flatter everyone, so to figure out the perfect style for you, first determine your face shape:

So what hairstyles are best for my face shape?

Round:

  • Long hair is great. Avoid short curly hair, as it will make a round face appear rounder
  • Adding a deep side part and long, side-swept bangs has a slimming effect on the face
  • Avoid hairstyles with fullness at the sides

Square:

  • Longer hairstyles are best, as they draw the eye up and down
  • A more textured hairstyle is ideal
  • Layers and asymmetric styles soften the face

Oval:

  • Almost any hairstyle suits an oval face
  • A center part on hair that’s shoulder length or longer is flattering
  • A side-part bob adds softness, while giving a trendy and flirty look

Heart-Shaped:  

  • A bouncy bob that hits right below the jaw is a good choice
  • Bangs swept to the side will downplay a wider forehead
  • Long, wavy layers will flatter the shape of your chin

Long:

  • Short to medium length is best
  • Straight bangs across the brow line can break up the length by creating the illusion of width
  • Layers around the face will soften angles
