View Full Version : I can't figure out my face shape and I want to get my hair cut to suit my face

The measurements of my face are:
Widest part of cheekbones (cheekbone to cheekbone) - 9 inches
Widest part of jaw (widest part on the left to widest part on the right) - 8 inches
Widest part of forehead (" ") - 8 inches
Length of face - 7 inches

It says my face shape is square but it deffinately isn't! Well I don't think so!
When I smile my face goes into a heart shape because I've got quite a pointy chin you see.

Id really like to get my hair cut into a style that will deffinately suit my face shape (ive got fine hair which is dyed black, quite pale skin and I'm 5ft3 and slender) - if anyone can help me by telling me perhaps what my face shape is and what hair styles would suit that shape then it would be much appreciated - thank you!

I'm not a hairstylist but you definitely should have longer hair. I'm not sure black hair would be your best color.

Long hair seems to make me look extremelly thin and I agree with the black not being my best colour, I'm naturally a light/yellowy blonde colour, it was an accident hah :(

I'm not saying your hair should be longer than what appears in the photo but that it should not be cut shorter than your chin otherwise it will further accentuate your facial lines. If you want your face to look rounder, then you could straighten your hair (less curls/body). Depending on the colour of your eyes, black hair doesn't suit you... unless you are trying to look like Cher... :)

My picture is in fact not of me, it's a drawing that my sister drew.. its mother earth! I have quite naturally wavy mid length hair at the moment and light brown/yellowy eyes.. people say I look abit like kristen stewart - I was quite surprised haha

Thank you for your input on my question!

You should consult some hairstylist. But do not hesitate to chop the locks, as women often do. I personally think that women have same liberty to cut off their hairs, as much as the men have. I think that women look good in short hair. But, I have not abeen able to decide firmly and have put up an question hair, concerning my hair or hair cut... if you happen to see it, please answer.
