Cmmon Framing Shapes

Best Face Framing For Oval Faces
​If you have an oval face, there is no shortage of options when it comes to layered haircuts that suit your face. A symmetrical face shape allows your hair to form curtains at both sides of your face giving a distinct look. There are also many styling designs you can use to make your frames look even better.
Best Face Framing For Heart Shaped Face
​Those with heart-shaped face a wider forehead and narrower chin, and when face-framing, the most suitable style is one that takes the attention away from your forehead. By focusing on the lower parts of your face, this hairstyle directs attention to the lower parts of your face. The curtains are eye-catching, and they balance out the face.
Best Face Framing For Square Faces
​Square faces are equal in height and width and when face framing, you should go for a style that uses layers to soften your facial features and add more length to your appearance. You should have soft wispy layers or something similar.
Best Face Framing For Round Faces
If you have a round face, your hairstyle should focus on adding length to your visage. Cutting your hair in layers can create the illusion of an elongated face. To achieve this, the layers of the frame start below the chin. Most of the styling will be focused on the ends of the hair.
Best Face Framing For Diamond Faces
​Diamond faces describe a small forehead, defined cheekbones, and tapered chin. Because your cheekbones are so pronounced, you'll want your face-framing pattern to soften their appearance a bit. Ask for medium to long layers that fall past your cheekbones. You can also add side sweeps.
