The right hairstyle can shave pounds off your face & years off your age. We've got the best style to fit your look
Hairstyles for Every Face ShapeSlimming rounder faces is as easy as adding height and reducing width. When styling your strands, remember to tease hair at the crown and opt for a longer, straighter style. We like Derek Lam's chic center part for spring.
Ladies blessed with oval faces don't have to worry about evening out proportions, so we say: have fun with it! Spring runways boasted an inordinate number of intricate updos (Jason Wu, Behnaz Sarafpour, Z Spoke by Zac Posen). Try a twisted top-knot, like this one seen at L.A.M.B. to fight off frizz in hotter temperatures.
If you have a tapered-off face frame (think: Reese Witherspoon), you can benefit from volume at the roots and side-swept bangs to help draw attention away from prominent jawlines. At the 3.1 Phillip Lim show, we loved this glossy knot with a coiled tendril accent.
The best way to minimize a strong chin and jawline? Go girly. Many plaited spring styles, including the messy, over-sized side braid at Lela Rose, help soften more dominant bone structures. Too schoolgirl-sweet for you? Twist the braid and pin it into a roughed-up side knot.
The key to drawing attention away from stronger jawlines and narrower foreheads is to add volume around the temples. Thank goodness 1940s-style updos - like those seen at Luca Luca - are back in fashion. When going from day to night, just remember to loosen front pieces with your fingers to make your look more sexy and less secretary.
Women with elongated face frames shouldn't go too long or too short with their cuts. We like a chic, shaggy bob, such as this one seen at Tory Burch. The long bangs help to conceal forehead size, and the shiny texture is professional enough for work - and chic enough for after.
