Styling tips for all face shapes

Here are the best styles for your face shape. For those undergoing medical treatment: remember, some treatments may change your face shape. Your specialist can advise you on what to expect. This knowledge will help you choose a style you'll feel comfortable with.

Long face

Gesichtsform_laenglich
  • This face has a long chin, high forehead and long cheeks.
  • Short hairstyles are best, as they flatter the fineness of your face. Long hair makes your face look even longer.
  • Fringes make long faces look shorter.

Heart-shaped face

Gesichtsform_herz
  • This face has a broad forehead and narrow chin, like an inverted triangle.
  • A light, wispy fringe or a thick long fringe flatter by covering your wide forehead.
  • Hair should be chin- to shoulder-length.
  • Ideal styles flick outwards around chin level to balance the narrow chin.

Diamond-shaped face

Gesichtsform_diamant
  • This face has wide cheek bones, a low forehead and small chin.
  • To balance wide cheekbones, your style should be narrower at the sides and fuller around the chin.
  • Avoid volume at the crown.

Oval-shaped face

Gesichtsform_oval
  • The ideal face shape, with cheekbones wider than the forehead and chin.
  • Almost all hairstyles suit this face.

Round face

Gesichtsform_rund
  • This face has full cheeks and a rounded forehead and chin.
  • Styles that are narrow at the sides with volume at the crown add length to round faces.
  • Foreheads can be bare, or have a fringe combed to one side.

Square face

Gesichtsform_eckig
  • This face has a wide hairline, square chin and angular contours.
  • Long hair with a side parting softens and flatters this face shape.
  • Curls and waves are flattering too.
  • Fringed short hairstyles look great.

Bulb-shaped face

Gesichtsform_birne
  • This face has a low forehead, and wide cheekbones and chin.
  • Hair should be fuller at the crown, to accentuate your cheekbones and chin.

Is a long hair wig right for you?

If you have long hair, getting a long hair wig seems a good idea at first. But long synthetic wigs need more frequent servicing to stay pristine. Keep this in mind, as it affects affordability. Long human hair wigs also require a greater financial investment.

Try changing your current style

A change can be refreshing — and choosing a wig is a unique chance to change your hairstyle without risk. Because you can ‘try on’ your new hair, just like trying on a hat, you’ll know instantly if you’ll like the change.

Wigs by Haircreations consultations are fun, and they're free. You need not purchase until you are absolutely sure.
