How to Find a Flattering Haircut Manually
Understanding your face shape is the key to finding hairstyles that complement your features. Here's what works for each face shape:
Round Face
Round faces — found in approximately 20% of women — have equal width and length with soft, curved jawlines. The goal is to add length and create angles. Styles with layers, volume on top, and side-swept bangs are incredibly flattering. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, hairstylists frequently recommend face-framing layers to visually elongate a round face shape.
Long Layered Blonde
Face-Framing Layers
Oval Face
Oval faces — the most common face shape at roughly 25% of women — are widely considered the most versatile for hairstyling, suiting nearly any cut from bobs to long layers, bangs, or pixie cuts. The balanced proportions (face length approximately 1.5 times the width) give you freedom to follow trends or go classic.
Classic Bob
Elegant Wispy Bangs
Soft Blunt Lob with Bangs
Square Face
Square faces — about 15% of women — feature a strong, angular jawline and equally proportioned forehead. These faces benefit from soft, flowing styles that soften angular features. Waves, curls, and side-swept styles work beautifully. Professional stylists recommend styles with movement and texture to complement a strong jawline, according to the Society of Cosmetologists.
Wispy Bangs with Soft Waves
Shaggy Blonde Bob
Heart Face
Heart-shaped faces — approximately 15% of women — feature a wider forehead that tapers to a narrower chin. These faces look best with styles that add width at the chin to balance the forehead. Chin-length bobs, side parts, and textured ends are perfect choices for creating visual harmony.
Side-Swept Bob
Blunt Bob Brown
Diamond Face
Diamond faces — roughly 10% of women — are characterized by narrow forehead and chin with prominent cheekbones. These faces shine with styles that add width at the forehead and chin. Wispy bangs, soft curls, and fuller styles work wonderfully to create visual balance and proportion.
Curly Fringe
Feathered Layers
Long Face
Long or oblong faces — about 15% of women — have a face length significantly greater than width. These faces benefit from styles that add width and volume on the sides to create the illusion of a shorter face. Blunt cuts, waves, and horizontal layers are ideal choices recommended by stylists for this face shape.

“I finally broke out of my 10-year hair rut!”
“I've had the same boring, shoulder-length hair for what feels like forever because I was too scared to try something new. I searched for 'best haircuts for a round face' and found this tool. In about 30 seconds, the AI confirmed my face shape and showed me that layered bobs and curtain bangs would look great. I took a screenshot to my stylist, and for the first time, I walked out of the salon feeling amazing and confident. It's a total game-changer!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI know what hairstyle actually suits me?
Our AI analyzes 68 facial landmark points from your uploaded photo — including jawline contour, forehead-to-chin ratio, and cheekbone placement — to classify your face shape into one of 6 categories. Based on proportional harmony principles used by professional stylists, it recommends the 4 most flattering cuts from a library of 90+ women's hairstyles.

Yes, 100%. The face shape analysis and 4 personalized hairstyle recommendations are completely free — no credit card or signup required. Over 10,000 women have already used the tool to find their ideal haircut.
I have a specific concern (thinning hair, a round face, a large forehead). Can the tool help with that?
Absolutely. The AI recognizes these specific features during the 68-point facial analysis. It suggests styles proven to add volume for thinning hair (like layered cuts), create angles to flatter a round face (like angled bobs), or incorporate fringes like curtain bangs to balance a larger forehead. These are common concerns, and the tool is designed to address them directly.
Can I also try on different hair colors?
Yes. Beyond haircuts, HaircutAI also functions as a virtual hair color try-on. After getting your 4 recommended styles, you can generate photorealistic previews showing how you'd look with different shades — from honey blonde to cherry cola red to rich brunette.
What happens to my photo after I upload it? Is it secure?
Your photo is encrypted with AES-256 encryption and processed in a private cloud environment. It is used only for the one-time analysis and is never shared with third parties. The entire process is automated, and you can delete your data at any time from your dashboard.
