"A heart-shaped face looks great with shorter face-framing layers or a soft side bang," says Jenna Mast, a hairdresser at Fox & Jane Salon. Since the width is in the cheek area, she says that adding interest below the cheekbone will enhance the face shape.

Square faces: It's all about lobs
"A low-maintenance lob is a go-to cut this spring for square face shapes," says Amika professional educator Brittney Ounanian. Light layers of differing lengths create movement and help to form a rounded look around the jawline, she explains.

Rectangular faces: Cut some curtain bangs
Ounanian tells TotalBeauty that curtain bangs are definitely on the rise this spring, as this look is sexy, effortless, and cool. And when complemented by a center part, she explains that curtain bangs cut through the rectangular face shape and create a softer, oval shape.

Diamond faces: Go for a messy shag
"A layered shag is a perfect cut to compliment a diamond face shape this spring," says Ounanian. Keeping your perimeter longer and your layers starting at the top of the cheekbone will draw attention away from your jawline, she adds.

Rectangle faces: Seek extra volume
"The best cut for rectangular face shapes is one that adds a little width to the sides to help round out and soften the edges," says Gareth Palmer, senior creative design ambassador for Keune Haircosmetics, and stylist at Salontology, Raleigh, North Carolina. Ask your stylist for layers to create width and break up the long, narrow line, he suggests. Or, if you love a longer silhouette, he also advises asking for a heavy fringe extending to the corners of your eyes to accentuate the lines and shape.
