The Great Debate

I found a really cool image that I hope will help you in choosing what haircut you want to try next. This picture shows a vary of face shapes and what hair cut or style looks best on them. The purpose isn't to hide a face shape, it's to bring forward your best features.

Oval: Ideal with almost any hair design, yet may lack a point of interest and can look plain. A stronger statement with the hair design may be used to create interest.
Round: Appears short and wide rather than long and narrow. Best to add height and long, wispy side areas to narrow the cheeks. Avoid volume at sides and curls. Place volume below jaw or above temple.
Heart (Triangle): Looks good with volume at chin and little or no volume on top. Curls help soften features. Avoid cropped napes so the face doesn't look too sharp.
Square: Short and wide. Add height on top and narrowness on the sides. Apply shapes that elongate the face. Very short hair with height can look good -- along with curly textures and wisps around the face. Avoid fringe or designs with width at the jawline.
Diamond: Add fullness at chin and narrow sides. Bobs and short hair work well. Avoid long, pointed side areas and height on top.
Pear (Trapezoid): Can wear graduated forms well. long, wispy side areas make cheeks and jaw look more slender. Avoid extremely short hair and bobs that end at the jaw.
Oblong (rectangle): Add softness and width with longer, curlier hair. Chin-length hair with volume on the sides is flattering. Fringe can shorten the look of oblongs. Avoid height and long, straight hair.
