If you are rectangle your face is longer than it is wide. If you have a larger forehead, add bangs to give yor face a shorter appearance. Layering around the face will give the appearance of a rounder more oval shape.

If you are oval your face length will be equal to one and a half times the width. Oval is the perfect shape so you can wear just about any haircut you want, and this article is no use to you. They say diamonds are a girls best friend, but so is an oval face shape.

If you have an round face your face is as wide as it is long. This may vary a little but generally the measurement is close. You will want to slightly elongate your face but going heavier layers on the top to create volume. Volume is the round face girls best friend.
