If you have a heart face shape...
The key is balancing your wider forehead with styles that add fullness at the jawline. Face-framing cuts and volume through the lower half of your hair help create a harmonious look. Head to your local Great Clips for a haircut, then try one of these hairstyles:
Layered bob: Adds volume around the chin and jawline, perfectly complementing a heart shape face.
Voluminous waves: Bouncy waves bring body to the lower half of your hair, balancing out a broader forehead.
Flipped ends: Lightly textured or flipped-out ends add width at the jawline for a soft, flattering finish.
If you have a round face shape...
You’ll want a hairstyle that adds angles and length! Angular cuts are perfect for sculpting your features, while styles with height or length can help elongate your face and create a more balanced look. Try one of these flattering looks:
Face-framing layers: Long layers add dimension while pieces around the face help visually lengthen it.
Side-swept bangs: Angled bangs break up roundness and bring in a chic, slimming effect.
Pixie cut with volume: A pixie with volume at the crown adds height and definition to enhance your natural features.
If you have a rectangle face shape...
A style with volume is the perfect choice! Fullness and movement help balance the length of your face while creating a softer, more proportionate look. We recommend these flattering styles:
Shoulder-length waves: Loose waves bring width to the sides of your face and add a touch of softness.
Chin-length bob: This type of bob helps balance length and draws focus to your features.
Soft, layered fringe: Wispy bangs and layers around your face round out sharper angles for a more balanced look.

If you have an oval face shape...
Lucky you – this face shape is the most versatile! With naturally balanced proportions, you can play around with a wide range of styles. If you want to experiment with different lengths and textures, consider rocking one of these hairstyles:
Blunt bob: A sleek, shoulder-length style that highlights your natural symmetry. Style it with the Solutions Glossing Multi-Task Cream for a polished appearance.
Voluminous curls: Bouncy curls enhance your natural symmetry and add playful movement to any look.
Face-framing layers: Adding layers around your face create movement, drawing attention to your best features.
If you have a diamond face shape...
The goal is to soften angles and balance your striking cheekbones. Styles that add width at the jawline or forehead help create harmony while keeping your look polished. These hairstyles would be a perfect match:
Beachy waves: Tousled waves add fullness and soften angular features.
Curly lob: A textured lob with curls widens the jawline and gently highlights your cheekbones. To enhance this look, check out our hair hacks for taking care of your curls.
Wispy bangs: Soft, airy bangs reduce the appearance of a longer forehead and create a more balanced shape.
