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. "Not everyone has a perfect, oval-shaped face." 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...

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.

Good article, but could have done with a little more in-depth advice.

somewhat helpful - would've been nice to know what styles to avoid too.

Not true that every cut suits oval face

I'm an oval too and short hair looked awful on me. I wish this article would have something different than I've read before.

I like to stick to key hair styles for myself, I find if I go to short I look awful, as well as too long.
