Hairstyle and glasses guides by face shape
Hairstyles by face shape
- 10 cuts
Hairstyles for a Round Face
Draw the eye vertically. Length, height at the crown and off-centre partings lengthen; width at the cheeks does the opposite.
- 11 cuts
Hairstyles for an Oval Face
Nothing needs correcting, so choose on hair texture and how much upkeep you want rather than on shape.
- 9 cuts
Hairstyles for a Square Face
Soften the corners rather than hide them. Curves, texture and diagonal lines break up the straight edges of the jaw.
- 8 cuts
Hairstyles for a Heart-Shaped Face
Balance the top against the bottom — reduce visual width at the forehead, add fullness around the jaw.
- 8 cuts
Hairstyles for a Long Face
Interrupt the vertical line. A fringe shortens the face instantly; width at the sides does the rest.
- 8 cuts
Hairstyles for a Diamond Face
Add width where the face is narrow — forehead and jaw — so the cheekbones read as a highlight rather than the whole story.
Glasses by face shape
- 6 frame shapes
Glasses for a Round Face
Which frames suit a round face and why — angular shapes, where width helps, what to avoid, and the fit rule that matters more than shape.
- 4 frame shapes
Glasses for a Square Face
Frames that soften a strong jaw — round and oval shapes, why heavy angular frames double up, and the fit rule that outranks shape.
- 6 frame shapes
Glasses for a Heart-Shaped Face
Frames for a wide forehead and narrow chin — light, bottom-weighted and rimless shapes, why heavy top rims backfire, and how to check the fit.
- 6 frame shapes
Glasses for an Oval Face
An oval face suits nearly every frame, so choose on fit and colouring instead. What still goes wrong, and the measurement that matters.
- 4 frame shapes
Glasses for a Long Face
Frames that shorten a long or oblong face — deep lenses, decorative temples and why narrow rectangles make it worse.
- 6 frame shapes
Glasses for a Diamond Face
Frames for wide cheekbones with a narrow forehead and jaw — browline and cat-eye shapes, and why frames must clear the cheekbone.
