One of the most important things to know before you decide on a haircut or style is what shape your face is. 

Most hairstyles look different based on the shape of your face, so you want to make sure your cut will flatter your face and fit it best.  There are a few basic shapes that cover most women’s’ faces, Oval, Round, Square and Heart shaped.  There are some other categories that are sometimes used, but these are the most basic. 

Some women have faces that are very clearly one of these shapes, like Reese Witherspoon’s heart shaped face,  but many women aren’t sure which category they fall into, so we’ve included some links to help you decide.   http://www.thechicfashionista.com/determine-your-face-shape.html and http://face-shape.com/face-shape-quiz.html.  Once you know what shape your face is, you’ll find it easier to make the best choices when it comes to choosing a haircut, style or even how to do your makeup! 

In the next couple of weeks, we will be posting haircuts that are especially flattering to certain face shapes, so check back to see what styles would be great for you!
