Question

What if my face shape is between two categories?

That's the most common case, not the exception. Most faces are a blend of two shapes (oval-with-heart, round-with-square, oblong-with-diamond). The dominant shape determines which cuts flatter most reliably; the secondary shape determines which adjustments help. The Hairstyle Analysis tool reports both when present.

The seven face-shape categories (oval, round, square, heart, oblong, diamond, triangle) are simplifications of a continuous range. In reality, most adult faces sit between two categories, with one slightly dominant. A face that's mostly oval with a strong jaw reads as 'oval with square tendencies'. A round face with a slightly narrower forehead reads as 'round with heart tendencies'. The dominant shape is the one to style for; the secondary shape is the one to compensate around.

The styling implication is that 'in-between' faces have more flattering options, not fewer. A pure oval can wear most cuts; a pure round needs careful elongation; a pure square needs jaw softening. A blended face often gets the advantages of two adjacent shapes without the strict constraints of either.

Hairstyle Analysis identifies the dominant face shape from a single selfie and notes secondary tendencies when they're significant. The eight cuts rendered on your face are chosen for the dominant shape with attention to the secondary. This is more accurate than picking a shape from a chart and styling rigidly to it.
