Which style is best for me?
If you want to work out which product is best for you, please use these suggestions as a rough guide to help you find a good look.

1. Triangle & Diamond Face Shape
For those with narrow jaw lines it is often good to go for bobs and mid-length styles. You are effectively balancing your face by creating fullness around the narrower area or disguising the larger area with a fringe. Fringes and chin-length styles, mid-length bobs and layers all work well. If your forehead also narrows, aim to get some fullness here by choosing a piece with longer fringes and layers.

2. Square Face Shape
If you have a square shaped face we suggest choosing a piece that adds some roundness to the shape of your hairline and height at the crown or fringe. Avoid styles with straight lines and jaw-length bobs, as these will only accentuate square jawbones and angular lines. Pieces that add wispy edges and textured layers around your face and ears also soften a wide forehead and strong jaw line.
-
3. Oval Face Shape
An oval face shape is considered the most versatile as most hairstyles will look good. Although you're lucky enough to suit most styles, avoid covering up your lovely symmetrical features by choosing a piece with a heavy fringe.
-
4. Heart Face Shape
For a heart shaped face, choose a piece that creates volume around the bottom half of your face. For long hairstyles, choose a piece with soft, loose, curly locks and/or soft layers around the chin area, as close to your jawline as possible. Avoid short, full pieces that emphasise your upper face and too much height at the crown, as this gives the impression of a longer, narrower chin. Side partings provide an interesting asymmetry that can suit very well, and faceframe layered pieces create great balance.
-
5. Round Face Shape
For a round shaped face, choose a piece with soft, ruffled layers on top to give a fuller crown. A short textured fringe or an off-centre parting is also a great look, and a long fringe swept to one side will add length. Avoid jaw-length styled pieces as they will make the face look even rounder — you can go long though, as lots of waves and curls suit well.
-
6. Narrow Face Shape
Too much length — especially in straight styles — will make your face appear even longer. Ideally keep styles at shoulder-length or above. Avoid centre partings, as the eye is drawn straight down the middle of the face where it is longest. Fringes are great for long faces as they make the face look more oval, and lip-length bobs tend to round out your face nicely.
