First of all, oval faces are perfect as they suit every hairstyle under the sun. Victoria Beckham has an oval face and look at the masses of styles she has had over the years! Square faces are not so lucky however. Layered cuts are the way forward for long hair and straight; one length hair is not a good option as this can make the face look even more square.

Round faces need more volume than other face shapes but it needs to be around the crown and not around the face, which can actually make the face look even rounder. Long hairstyles are good for this face shape as it can think the face out and one length long cuts are good that fall below the shoulders.
