- Face shape
Oval
An oval face is the proportional baseline classical portraiture uses as the reference. The forehead is slightly wider than the chin, the cheekbones are the widest point, and the overall length is roughly one-and-a-half times the width. Almost any hairstyle reads well on this shape; the work is choosing a cut that flatters the rest of you (hair texture, lifestyle, the look you actually want) rather than correcting any proportion.

Round
A round face is roughly equal in length and width, with soft cheekbones, a rounded jawline, and no strong angles. The classical work for a round face is to add visible length, draw the eye upward, and introduce diagonal or vertical lines that lengthen the proportion. A well-chosen cut on a round face can shift the perceived shape closer to oval without obscuring what makes the face distinctive.

Square
A square face has a strong, defined jawline with the forehead and jaw close to equal in width. The overall proportion is close to square. length and width nearly match, with the cheekbones running parallel to both. The classical work is to soften the angles at the corners (temple, jaw) while keeping the bone structure visible. A square face suits softness in the hair to balance the strength in the face.

Heart
A heart-shaped face is widest at the forehead and tapers to a narrower, often pointed chin. The cheekbones are visible but the proportion is the inverted triangle of forehead-down-to-chin. Classical work for a heart face balances the narrow chin by adding width or softness at the jaw line, and by drawing some of the visual focus down from the forehead.

Long
A long face, sometimes called oblong, is noticeably longer than it is wide. The forehead, cheekbones, and jaw run close to parallel, and the chin is rounded or slightly squared. The classical work for a long face is to add visible width and break the strong vertical line. A well-chosen cut interrupts the length with horizontal interest. bangs, volume at the sides, or layers that fall outward.

Diamond
A diamond face has narrow forehead and chin with wide, prominent cheekbones. the proportion is the diamond's two points top and bottom with the widest line across the middle. The classical work for a diamond face is to add width at the forehead and jaw to balance the cheekbones, and to keep the eye moving rather than fixed on the strongest feature. A diamond face is one of the more distinctive shapes; cuts that acknowledge it tend to flatter more than cuts that try to neutralise it.
