Which Hairstyle is Best For Your Face Shape?

When the desire for a fresh hairdo strikes, the need for change can feel do or dye! Hair is meant to express your individuality and unique style, but it can also be used to enhance your natural features. Here at KOVI, we believe in doing both. Arming you with the knowledge of what hair is best for your face shape, so you can confidently embrace a brand new do!

From oval and round to square and heart-shaped faces, our guide covers an array of shapes, ensuring a personalized recommendation that aligns seamlessly with your facial structure.

 

1. OVAL FACE - SHORT STRAIGHT BOB

An oval face shape can best be described as a bit longer than it is wide. This makes your face optimal for a hairstyle that highlights your length, just like we see here with the gorgeous Emily Blunt.

We recommend styling your mid length hair with a straightener with even heat for silky smooth hair. Our fave is Silk Ceramic Flat Irons

2. ROUND FACE - LONG HAIR WITH WAVES

If you have a round face most likely the height and width of your face are equal. Ladies with a round face look AH-MAZING with long hair that makes their face stand out. If you don’t have naturally long locks ask your stylist for weft extensions. These will add length, volume, and have you feeling as star powered as our miss Selena Gomez.

3. SQUARE FACE - SHOULDER LENGTH WITH BANGS

Square face beauties are known for their killer cheekbones and jawline that are equal to each other. This gives these girls a perfectly chiseled look perfect for a shoulder length cut with some side fringe. A classic example of this face shape can be seen on Olivia Wilde.

Don’t be afraid to play around with layers to create more dimension around your face!

4. DIAMOND FACE - MID LENGTH WITH MIDDLE PART

With a narrow jaw and forehead to match, these diamond babes really are a gem! Their cheekbones give us life so we suggest you make them pop by parting your hair right down the middle.


To get waves that frame your face perfectly we recommend a wand that infused moisture deep in the hair by breaking down water clusters. Our fave is Pro Curling Iron

5. HEART FACE - FRINGE PIXIE CUT

We HEART heart shaped faces! With a narrow chin and wider forehead those who flaunt this distinctive shape also possess the potential to effortlessly rock the captivating pixie cut. This is clear with the stunning Florence Pugh in her J.Crew photoshoot.


The big chop might be scary but you’ll feel so free with all that hair off your pretty face.
