Determine your shape

Pull all your hair back in a headband. Look at your hairline and chin line. If it helps, draw a few dots with eyeliner to help you see the shape. "Be honest about what you see," says Buckett.

Although the right attitude can help you pull off any cut, Buckett, who has styled Ashley Olsen and Rachel McAdams, offers these basic guidelines for getting the hair you want with the face you've got. Now find a style that will work for you...

I have a long face and I have to be careful not to drag it down.

I always get so confused with face shapes. I have no idea what mine is. All I know is it definetly isn't heart shaped.

I love how they just skimped out on the oval shape - Yay, you can do whatever you want.

What about the diamond shape face? Which is what I have. Much more angular than an oval.

The face shapes have been misidentified so many times on the stars. While the advice in the article is good, the illustrations are not.

Medium hair face is not square. Check out the chin.
