While makeup can easily help add to your beauty, there's one more thing that can help make you look prettier instantly. And that thing happens to be your hairstyle. When you pick out the right hairstyle for your face shape, it helps enhance the dimensions of your face and brings forth all your best features. There are roughly five to six face shapes that are commonly identified, a few of them being long, oval, round, diamond, square, and heart. Some people also have a mixture of two face shapes. The best way to determine yours is to focus on the eyes, cheeks, and jawline. So, here's how you can style your hair based on your face shape.

For this face shape, the forehead, cheekbones, and chin are of similar width. This face shape is also known as the oblong face shape and has flatter sides. This is why it's best to get a layered haircut for this one as it can help emphasise on your eyes and cheekbones. The length should be below your chin or shoulder-length. You could even opt for long hair. Just ensure that your cheekbones are on display.

The forehead happens to be slightly wider than the chin and cheekbones are on the higher side for this face shape. This one happens to be an extremely versatile face shape and can sport a number of hairstyles. The best ones to try out could be the pixie cut, shags, blunt bobs and even long beach waves. So, try and experiment with different cuts to see which one works best for you.

With this face shape, the forehead and chin happen to be narrow and elongated. Since these parts of the face happen to be narrow, the best thing to do is to create the appearance of a fuller forehead and chin. While long layers work best for this face shape you could even try angled bobs and lobs. Remember to tuck at least one side of your hair behind your ears.

With heart faces, the forehead happens to be wide while the chin is sharp. Since the widest part of the face is the forehead, long face-framing layers look really well on this face type. Bangs look amazing on this face shape especially if they're styled above the eyes.

The forehead, jawline, and cheekbones are all the same width when it comes to square faces. The jawline happens to look predominant since it happens to be wide so the best hairstyle should be something like soft layers or side bangs. You could even opt for rounded bangs.

With round faces, the length of the face is nearly similar to the width of the face. Opt for loose waves with long layers or off-centre and side parts to help give your face the appearance of being long. You could also opt for messy tousled locks but ensure that the length is below your jawline.
