The most flattering haircuts for every face shape

When you have the right haircut for your face shape, hair texture and hair type, you’ll find your confidence boosted and like you could take over the world!

After leaving the hairdresser’s chair, you might be left with a haircut that doesn’t look quite how you imagined – yep, we’ve all been there before.

This had us wondering: is there a one-size-fits-all cut that simply looks good on everyone? One that is flattering on all face shapes, not to mention all hair types? The short answer is, yes!

According to veteran hairstylist Leanne Citrone, the one haircut that suits absolutely everyone is the bob – a style you’ve no doubt tried in the past or anxiously considered.

The key to making this cut work? It’s all about personalising the style according to your features.

1/7

Thin hair

If your hair is fine, keep your bob short and relatively blunt with no layers to add thickness and volume.

2/7

Oval face

While oval face shapes are among the most versatile, chin-length layers will offset a longer face and add volume and width.

3/7

Thick hair

Go slightly longer, with a shoulder length style and light layers to provide texture and take some of the weight out.

4/7

Round face

A choppy, layered bob is most flattering for round face shapes, especially with a side part to balance your circular shape.

5/7

Oval face

While oval face shapes are among the most versatile, chin-length layers will offset a longer face and add volume and width.

6/7

Heart face

A one-length long bob will draw attention away from a narrower chin and soften a strong jawline.

7/7

Curly hair

Play up your wavy, curly texture with a shaggy style bob that has lots of layers and texture to prevent it from looking broccoli-esque and will make caring for your curls super easy.

These are the most flattering haircuts for every face shape and hair type
