      *Round face Shape*
      One must avoid fringes and curls. Go for short hair or chin length, this will lift the face. Do not wear straight bangs, always curl your bangs and wear them at the side

      *Square face Shape*
      Layered hair helps to soften the jaw line. Hairstyles worn in curls and waves will give definition to your square face. Your hair should be 1 - 1/2 inches below chin or shoulder length is a good fit. Your hair would look best parted down one side with a swept away fringe to create a different angle.

      *Diamond face shape*
      Widest at cheekbones, narrow forehead and jaw line of approximately equal widths. An illusion of an oval face can be formed by creating width at the forehead and minimizing it at the cheekbones. Try to avoid too much hair in your face though.

      *Heart face shape*
      Narrow at jaw line, wide at cheekbones/and or forehead. The hair cut style's objective should be to create an oval by adding width at the jaw line. Wear your hair fuller at the top than near your jawline. A chin length bob is a great style that creates a balanced look by giving fullness and balance where you need it.

      Oblong faces have high foreheads and long chins and require haircuts that add width and volume. The ideal style of hair cut is one which creates width at the sides disguising the narrowness. Keep your hair away from your face and ear to widen your forehead.
