Types of faces and models of female haircuts
06/05/2019 – By: JakBell Newsroom
Renewing the look is something truly transformative for many women, especially when it comes to hair. The saying “hair is the frame of the face” it has never been as true as when you decide to go ahead and change your locks, after all, not every type of cut, color, extension or accessory will perfectly match your face.
For this, it is important to understand beforehand, which type of cut/hairstyle will perform best for you, and this is also true for people who make use of wigs, hair prostheses or even a Hair apply. In the first two accessories, especially in the first purchase, the opinion of a professional usually helps to clear up many doubts.
The different types of female faces
As you probably already know, there are faces of different shapes, each of which asks for a different type of cut, which should further benefit the look as a whole, hiding imperfections and benefiting the best parts. There are rounded, square, oval, triangular etc type faces. So what would be the best cutting option for each of them?
Types of female face.
Round face haircuts
Generally in women with a rounder face, which is a face with smooth shapes, pointed chin, broad cheeks and cheeks that are not very defined, it is important to mark the angles well to create some illusion of a thinner face.
It’s a shape that needs a type of cut that doesn’t offer as much volume, as something like that could accentuate the roundness even more. So if that’s not your goal, it’s best to stay away from the volume. The tip is to focus on the sides, which will help to elongate the face and even out the chin line.

And speaking of the chin, cuts that lie below that area are also best for round faces. But if you have shorter hair, the option is to pluck it to smooth the roundness. And if you want to bet on a fringe, go for long ones with a diagonal drape, as straight fringes make the shape even more evident.
Another good tip for those who have this type of face is to create a layered cut, which is just below the chin line. Cuts that have an elongated front usually favor the look on round-faced people.
Haircuts for oval face
We can say that the width of the oval face is the most proportional of all. No wonder it is the face shape known as “universal” by beauty professionals around the world. Women who have this type of face usually shine using different types of cuts, even the shortest ones, in addition to being able to use and abuse the bangs.
The width of the oval face is equivalent to two thirds of its length. The forehead is generally rounder, as are the lines on the chin and cheekbones. Profiled cuts (pictured at the front only) from the chin line offer more softness and lightness to the look. It is also possible to bet in layers in this same scheme.

In relation to fringes, as we’ve already talked about, it’s possible to abuse them. Straight or side (diagonal), long, medium or short bangs are very welcome. In fact, whoever has an oval-like face can go without fear and risk it to be happy. It is only advised to move away from very straight cuts. Talking to a professional to adjust the best idea is a good tip at this time.
Square face haircuts
The square face is characterized by a wider face and poorly defined chin and straight contours. In this case, in order to give more smoothness to the jaw, we recommend using medium to long hair, and if you have curls, even better.
Betting on the use of hair up to the shoulders or even longer can be an option. But, if yours is short, it’s time to research some application to make up for this lack. One Mega hair or even an applique flip in hair can be good options to give that added to the tips.

There is also the option of betting on layered cuts with side stripes, as they help to smooth the lines of the face. As for the fringes, they can help, but prefer the lighter ones. A fringe on the side or even split in half can contribute to giving that more delicate look to the face.
As square faces have straight angles and high cheekbones, cuts that are a little more uncomplicated and unstructured, with asymmetrical lines and a certain volume, can greatly enhance the look.
Rectangular Face Haircuts
The rectangular face can be considered a kind of variation of the square, but a little wider. It has an elongated and narrow shape, being more square in the scalp, jaw and chin. It may resemble a long face, only in a square shape. The straight mandible and the face are the same width but more spaced.

As the great advantage of this type of face is to visually shorten the face, cuts with volume need to be made on the sides, in other words, no vertically elongated strands. Regarding the fringes, if you are going to use one, prefer the sides, as any other will make the face even more square.
Triangular face haircuts
The triangular face has a narrower forehead, clear jaw and cheekbones. In order to enhance this type of face, you can opt for medium cuts that offer a lot of movement to the ends. Asymmetrical strands can yield a certain charm and balance the shape of the face. A frayed cut and a little volume also help to smooth the chin area.
The length can be long, medium or short, but watch out for asymmetrical cuts. For shorter hair, the suggestion is to include a longer, more frayed fringe at the front. They will help give more balance to the whole face. It’s also good to avoid options that are too “heavy”, as they can damage the look.

It’s also good to avoid straight strands if your hair is curly or frizzy. Following visagism rules can help you choose a cut that is technically best suited to you. But, it is important to validate that you should feel good, that is, try and choose your best option.
Haircuts for inverted triangular face
The inverted triangle-type face is what looks like an upside-down triangle, with the wider forehead that continues to narrow down to the upper jaw, and the chin being normally pointed.
For faces of this type, a great option is to make a cut at shoulder height with a few layers (smooth or waved), with the intention of generating volume on the sides. The functional length can be medium shredded at the height of the cheekbones, which will ensure more movement to the strands without making them too voluminous. This way, the face will be more harmonic and proportional.

The fringe is also an ally for people with faces in an inverted triangle shape. Straight, frayed fringed cuts are excellent, as they mask the broad forehead, which is usually the place of prominence. The straight bangs help to harmonize too.
Haircuts for heart face
Women with a face in this shape need to avoid hairstyles with a lot of volume on the top of the head and focus on lateral volume, as its characteristics are the bulging cheeks and a thinner and more defined chin, which characterizes the “heart” shape .
Try to make cuts with marked layers and stay away from bangs and other hairstyles parted in the middle, as the intention is to hide the shape of the face. The “heart” type is also great for braids, locks and buns.

Buns or ponytails are good choices, as well as semi-up hairstyles that offer more volume on the side (you can choose to use thin braids). It’s good to avoid an obvious side streak as this will further enhance the forehead. Instead, prefer something central or just a little to the side. Loose hair in layers and the long part facing inwards from the middle of the face, benefits the harmonization of the face.
Long Face Haircuts
Long-faced women have rounded ends of the face, but the width is less than the length of the face. The long face is approximately the same measurement between the width of the forehead and the upper and lower jaws. There is the option of using longer hair and an asymmetrical cut, so that it doesn’t have as much volume and somehow can cover the face as well.
Avoiding straight bangs at the eyebrow level is great advice. Instead, you can opt for a fringe around the mouth or nose, which can bring more softness to the face. Cuts with a straighter base, on the other hand, are an excellent choice, as they offer a heavier look to the long face, giving the impression that it isn’t even as stretched as it looks.

And if you have a long face, it’s good to stay away from shorter cuts. Invest in options such as a chanel, long bob or an appliqué. Make a combination with a fringe on the side, which is considered the “perfect” option for people with elongated faces. Yarns with peaked ends and long bangs are good options for a more modern look. And for those with curls, a long cut with a shorter front helps provide a more natural look.
Diamond Face Haircuts
The diamond-shaped face has a small jaw, high cheekbones, and a smaller forehead. It is similar in shape to the inverted triangle, as the best cuts made in one type can perfectly work for the other.
Having a cut that provides greater volume to the side of the hair is the main option for women with a diamond face. The intention is that the adjusted volume will help to disguise the lower chin, cheekbones and forehead. And in this same footprint, having something done in layers can also help when harmonizing the face.

Long bob cuts are great for disguising some protruding parts of the female face. In other words, when in doubt, you can bet on him that there is no mistake. Peaking, as much as it is known for removing capillary volume, can provide that “flying hair”, disguising the popped apples. Talk to a visagism expert, he will help you understand your profile a little better. Straight, frayed bangs also help to disguise the forehead and high cheekbones.
Women who have diamond-shaped faces, and who want to get a shorter cut, need to opt for something minimally at the chin height. Making the strands smaller than this could show the cheeks, meaning it’s good to avoid.
