Face shape detector

For the clearest result, face the camera straight on, keep the phone at eye level, pull hair away from your cheeks and use even light. The analysis estimates your face shape, hairline and hair type, then suggests a short list of cuts. It is a starting point rather than a measurement from a doctor or stylist, so you can switch the result by hand if the outline does not feel right.

The tool does not require an account for the free check. If you later want to see a chosen style on your own photo, open the AI hairstyle try-on after you have your face shape.

The analyzer looks at the visible outline from a front-facing image: how long the face appears compared with its width, which area is widest, and whether the jaw is rounded or angular. It maps that pattern to six common labels. Real faces often sit between two labels, and hair, glasses, facial hair, camera angle and lighting can change what you see.

That is why the result includes a manual picker. If the tool says oval but your jaw has clear corners, compare the square guide. If it says round but your face is clearly longer than wide, compare long and oval. The face shape guide explains those comparisons in more detail.

You need a mirror or a straight-on photo, a flexible tape measure or ruler, and a pen and paper. Pull your hair back. Measure from the center of your hairline to the bottom of your chin. Then measure across the widest part of your forehead, across your cheekbones just below the outer corners of your eyes, and across your jaw from the widest point on one side to the other.

Write the four numbers down and compare the pattern rather than chasing an exact ratio. Face length clearly greater than width points toward oblong. Similar length and width with full cheeks points toward round. A strong cornered jaw suggests square. A wide forehead with a narrow chin suggests heart. Cheekbones that are widest with a narrow forehead and chin suggest diamond. A gently tapered jaw with balanced proportions often looks oval.

Use the links below to move from a label to practical cuts. Each guide includes women’s and men’s options, hair-type notes, a short avoid list, an embedded picker and answers to common questions.

Face shape helps you make a shortlist, but it cannot choose the whole haircut. Hair density, curl pattern, cowlicks, glasses, beard shape, head shape and styling time all change the result. A round face with thick curls may need different layers from a round face with fine straight hair. A long face with a strong cowlick may prefer a side part over a fringe.

Use the label to ask better questions: where should the shortest layer end, how much height should the top have, and how much side length will balance the outline? If you are choosing between bangs and no bangs, the bangs guide gives a separate checklist.
