The 6 Face Shapes — Explained

Oval Face
Oval
Zendaya, Beyoncé

Slightly longer than wide with a softly curved jawline. The most versatile face shape — almost every silhouette works beautifully on you.

Any length Knotless braids High bun Bangs work great
Round Face
Round
Issa Rae, Lizzo

Equal in length and width with full cheeks and a soft jaw. Add height and length — styles that elongate the face look stunning on you.

High puff Middle part Long braids Sleek top knot
Square Face
Square
Gabrielle Union, Lupita Nyong'o

Strong, defined jawline roughly the same width as your forehead. Soft curls and flowing styles create beautiful contrast against your angular structure.

Soft curls Side part Wavy sew-in Tapered bob
Heart Face
Heart
Halle Bailey, Rihanna

Widest at the forehead, narrowing to a delicate chin. Styles with length and volume at the bottom create gorgeous balance.

Long locs Curtain bangs Side-swept styles Chin-length bob
Long Oblong Face
Long / Oblong
Kelly Rowland, Naomi Campbell

Noticeably longer than wide with similar widths top to bottom. Add width and horizontal volume to create beautiful balance.

Natural afro Fringe bangs Bob with volume Shoulder-length braids
Diamond Face
Diamond
Chloe Bailey, Teyana Taylor

The rarest shape — narrow at forehead and chin, widest at the cheekbones. Angular and striking. Those cheekbones are the feature.

TWA / short styles Forehead bangs Side-parted Volume at crown

Common Questions

Everything You're Wondering

Pull your hair back and stand in front of a mirror in good lighting. Look at three things: where is your face widest (forehead, cheeks, or jaw)? Is your face as wide as it is long, or longer? And what does your jawline look like — soft and round, sharp and angular, or does it taper to a point? Those three observations will get you to your shape. The quiz above takes you through each one step by step.
Most people land somewhere between two shapes, and that's completely normal. The good news: if you're between oval and heart, or between round and square, the style tips for both shapes tend to work for you. Take the quiz, see which result you get, then look up your runner-up shape — you'll likely find yourself nodding along to both.
Yes — that's the whole point. Most face shape guides were not built with textured hair, protective styles, or locs in mind. The recommendations in this quiz are centered on styles that actually exist in the Black hair community: knotless braids, locs, twist-outs, wash-and-gos, sew-ins, TWAs, and more. Autum's blog has dedicated posts for each face shape with even more specific guidance.
Yes and no. Face shape is a useful starting point — it gives you a framework for understanding why certain styles feel "off" even when they look great on someone else. But it's one factor among many: your hair texture, lifestyle, how much maintenance you want, and what makes you feel like yourself all matter more than any rule. Think of face shape as a shortcut to a good starting point, not a set of rules you have to follow.
Retake the quiz! And honestly — there's no "bad" face shape. Every single shape on this list has an incredible style legacy. Diamond faces have the most striking cheekbones. Round faces look youthful and carry big curly styles beautifully. Square faces can do jaw-dropping angular styles that look powerful. The goal is to understand your features so you can make confident choices, not to change your face.
