Oval
Face length is clearly greater than width, with the cheekbones as the widest point and a jaw that curves in a soft, rounded line.
All oval suggestionsFeminine
Shoulder-length waves
Soft waves add movement at shoulder height without concentrating volume at the jaw or forehead.
Masculine
Quiff
Modest height at the front adds a little length above a forehead and jaw that are close in width.
Round
Face length and width are close to equal, with soft, full cheeks and a rounded jawline that has no angles.
All round suggestionsFeminine
Angled lob
Ends that angle longer toward the chin add vertical length and narrow the widest part of the cheek.
Masculine
Textured crop with a longer top
Extra length on top adds vertical height, while short sides keep width low at the cheek.
Square
Forehead, cheekbones, and jaw are close in width, with a pronounced, angular jawline and a wide, flat chin.
All square suggestionsFeminine
Wavy shag
Loose waves and layered texture soften the angular jawline with curved, uneven lines.
Masculine
Textured quiff
Uneven texture on top softens the straight line of the forehead above the angular jaw.
Heart
Forehead is the widest point, and the face narrows steadily toward a narrow, often pointed chin.
All heart suggestionsFeminine
Collarbone lob
Length and fullness ending at the collarbone add volume near the jaw and chin.
Masculine
Medium layers with a low fade
A low fade at the sides keeps width down while length below the ear adds volume near the jaw.
Long
Also called oblong or rectangle, this face is noticeably longer than it is wide, with forehead, cheekbones, and jaw close in width.
All long suggestionsFeminine
Curtain bangs falling to the sides
Bangs parted at the center and falling to the sides add horizontal width across the forehead.
Masculine
Side part with volume at the temples
Volume held at the temples adds horizontal width instead of extra height on top.
Diamond
Cheekbones are clearly the widest point, while the forehead and jaw are both noticeably narrower, tapering to a narrow chin.
All diamond suggestionsFeminine
Textured collarbone lob
Fullness at collarbone height adds width near the jaw, balancing a wider cheekbone above it.
Masculine
Medium layers with soft angles
Soft layers near the jaw add width there, balancing a cheekbone that reads wider above it.
Questions and answers
How do I find my face shape before using this page?
Use the face shape detector to analyze a photo in your browser, or answer the quiz instead — answers that match your face point to the same shape as a photo would; if the two disagree, you're likely between two shapes.
How accurate is the result, and what does the confidence number mean?
Face shape has no single standard definition, so there's no ground truth to grade the result against. The confidence number shows how closely your measurements match the assigned shape compared with the other five — not the chance that the result is correct. When two shapes are close, the result says you're between them and lists suggestions for both.
Are these suggestions backed by research?
They reflect common, widely used styling principles — for example, adding height where a face is wide, or softening an angular jaw. There's no controlled study proving they work; each suggestion says what it balances so you can judge it yourself.
Does my photo get uploaded anywhere?
No. Your photo is analyzed entirely on your device, inside your browser. It is never sent to a server, and it's cleared from memory as soon as your result is shown.
What if I don't want to take or upload a photo?
Answer the 7-question quiz instead. Answers that match your face point to the same shape as a photo would; if the quiz and a photo disagree, you're likely between two shapes.
Why do the suggestions differ between face shapes?
Each face shape has different proportions, so a hairstyle that balances one (for example, adding height to a round face) can work against another. The reason given for each suggestion names the proportion it addresses.
