Quick answer
Round faces suit long layers and side parts; square faces soften with waves and curls; heart shapes suit chin-length bobs and volume at the jaw; oval faces can wear almost anything; long faces suit shoulder-length cuts, curtain bangs and width at the sides.
The right cut, part and texture can balance your features, and it's easy to choose once you know your face shape.
Find your face shape
Pull your hair back and look straight into a mirror. Compare the width of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw, and the length of your face.

- If you want parting freedom, choose a 13x4 or 13x6 lace frontal.
FAQs
What wig suits a round face?
Longer styles past the chin, side parts and soft layers or body waves create length and angles that flatter a round face.
Are bob wigs flattering?
Bobs suit oval, heart and square face shapes especially well. Round faces often prefer a longer, angled bob.
