Ever wondered why some hairstyles look amazing on one person but awkward on another? The secret lies in understanding your face shape. From round and square to cat or dog-like contours, the right haircut can highlight your best features and give you confidence that lasts.
Identifying Your Face Shape
Take a mirror, pull your hair back, and observe your jawline and cheekbones. Round faces have soft curves, square ones have sharp angles, while oval faces are balanced. Some barbers even describe “dog” faces (long, narrow features) and “cat” faces (shorter, wider features).
Best Haircuts for Each Shape
- Round face: Go for cuts that add height — a high fade or pompadour elongates your features.
- Square face: Try styles with softer edges like a textured crop or medium fade.
- Oval face: Almost any style works — experiment with side parts or classic fades.
- Dog face: Long, vertical cuts balance the narrowness — undercuts work great.
- Cat face: Wider looks such as side-swept fringes or low fades add proportion.
Why Face Shape Matters
