Often times, we struggle trying to determine what haircut would look the best on us. We see someone in a magazine or on television with a style we like, but when we get the big chop ourselves, it doesn’t quite look the same. Today, we’ll be taking the guess work out of that for you and providing you with some tips to find your most flattering cut, based off your face shape! These tips will work especially best for those who suffer from fine or thinning hair.

Bosley Professional Strength created FineOmetry – a Fine To Fabulous Cutting System. FineOmetry was specifically developed so stylists could give their clients with low-density, volume-challenged hair the appearance of having the fuller, thicker, and healthier-looking hair they’ve always wanted. The below techniques are recommended for achieving the most flattering, volume-boosting styles, simply by understanding the shape of your face!

Face Shape: Oval
Avoid: Too much volume on top
Best shapes: Most styles are universally flattering on this face shape

Face Shape: Square
avoid: Wide bangs, blunt bobs at jaw line will only emphasize sharpness
Best shapes: Styles with movement to soften soft features, fullness at temples

Face Shape: Oblong
Avoid: Extremely long, flat hair can emphasize long face
Best shapes: Strong fringe will hide a high forehead and give the face the appearance of an oval shape – breakup the shape with a side part or create fullness on the sides for balance above the ear line

Face Shape: Round
Avoid: One length cuts or over-softening an already round shape with too many layers
Best shapes: Long layers, lob with side part, naturally wavy styles – create a strong angular fringe or add additional height to the face at the top of the style

Face Shape: Heart
Avoid: Short bangs or excessive short layering that can accentuate width
Best shapes: Jaw-length bobs that highlight the chin, long styles with bangs show off cheekbones and create fullness/width at the nape
