Medium to Long length compliment this shape face best. Additionally having your stylist incorporate angles into the cut works well. Another great look that fits a square face is a center part. Click here to see a photo of Courtney Cox.
For LONG face shapes (ex: Rihanna) …
It’s best to cut shaggy layers that start at the nose to create an illusion of a wider face. Cutting bangs either blunt or side swept help to make the face look narrow. The main cut/style to avoid is anything that will create volume at the top of the head.
For HEART face shapes (ex: Scarlett Johannsson) …
It’s best to focus on volume for this shape face. Starting layers at or around chin length is most complimenting.
For ROUND face shapes (ex: Elisha Cuthbert and Catherine Deneuve) …
