Choosing a Fall Haircut That Suits Your Face Shape

A rounder face benefits from length and vertical lines: a long bob past the jaw, a side part, soft face-framing layers. A longer face wants the opposite — width at the cheekbones, a blunt line, maybe a fringe.

Square jaws soften with waves and layers that start below the chin. Heart shapes balance with volume at the jaw, not the crown.

Whatever the cut is called, the shortest piece around your face determines everything. Ask for it to land at the point you want widened — cheekbone, jaw or collarbone — and the rest of the cut will follow.

Every consultation goes better with two photos: one you like, one you don't, and a sentence about your morning routine. If you air-dry, say so — half the cuts on Pinterest only work with a round brush and twenty minutes. See air-dried hair products for the low-effort route.
