Trying to pull off the same hairstyle as your favorite celebrity can be challenging if you don’t have the same face shape as them. Not matching a hairstyle to a specific face shape is one of the biggest reasons why people leave the salon disappointed. A good alternative is to take some of the characteristics of the hairstyle you like and incorporate some angles to ensure your facial features are highlighted accordingly. Sometimes this means adding in some hair extensions and other times it may mean framing the face with bangs. Here are a few of the top hairstyles to consider depending on your face shape.

Round Face Shape

People with round faces often want to create more angles and elongate it a bit. One way to do this is to clip in hair extensions and create a deep side part. You can also pull your hair back into a high ponytail to give the illusion of your face being longer than it is. If you try to add too much volume and keep your hair in front of your ears, you may end up creating an opposite effect.

The main goal for people with a square face shape is to take away some emphasis from the square shape. A quality hair care tip to achieve this is to incorporate soft bangs that fall to one side. This will create more of a diagonal appearance and eliminate some of the squareness. You can also lengthen the face a bit by wearing straight layered hair. Grabbing your hair extensions will create the best results if you opt for the latter style.

Oval Face Shape

People with oval face shapes have so many options available to them. It’s naturally balanced and proportional, so there aren’t many hairstyles that look bad. Your objective should be to not make your face look longer than it is, so side-swept bangs are perfect for framing the face. Shoulder-length hair with a little bit of volume tends to work out perfectly, especially when you add in a simple side part as well.

Heart Face Shape

People with a heart-shaped face either try to embrace it and highlight it or try to make it a little more balanced. To highlight your face shape, go with a simple ponytail or a top knot to show off all of the angles and features. But if balance is your main objective, then a shoulder-length lob can create some wideness to make your face appear to be more proportional.
