Face shape is a shortcut, not a verdict. It helps you decide what to preview first: whether to add height, soften width, expose the forehead, frame the jaw, or balance a strong cheekbone line.
The best haircut choice still depends on hair density, texture, hairline, beard, styling routine, and the level of change you are willing to make. Use this library to pick the first two or three directions, then preview the actual look in RegretCam before you commit.
If you are unsure which shape you have, choose the closest match and compare the related pages. The preview matters more than the label.
That keeps the guide useful without turning face shape into a rigid rule.
Pick your face shape
Round face shape
Round faces have soft jawlines and similar width and length. The goal of most round-face haircuts is to add a little height up top and a little length, without making the sides feel wider.
Oval face shape
Oval faces have balanced proportions and gentle angles, so most haircut shapes look reasonable. The bigger decision is your styling habit, not the geometry.
Square face shape
Square faces have a sharp, defined jawline and roughly equal width at the forehead and jaw. The choice is whether you want to lean into the structure or soften it.
Long / oblong face shape
Long or oblong faces are longer than they are wide. The risk is choosing a cut that stretches the face even more, like a very tall top or very short sides with no fringe.
Diamond face shape
Diamond faces have wide cheekbones with a narrower forehead and chin. The goal is to add a bit of width up top and keep the cheekbones from becoming the only focal point.
Heart face shape
Heart-shaped faces are wider at the forehead and narrower at the chin. The aim is to add a bit of volume around the jaw, soften the top, and avoid stacking width above the eyes.
Not sure which shape you have?
Use a front-facing photo with hair pulled back. Compare face width and length, jaw definition, and where the widest part sits. The face shape guide explains how to measure quickly:
