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...
Needed more info. I've always thought I have a square shape face, but this leaves me thinking I MIGHT have a round -- although still unsure. All I know is my short shag hairstyle with bangs and a side part is highly flattering.
I am 69 Yrs. Young, have a round small face with sharp features. Am 5'2" so need height at top of head. Am tired of short, curly hair. Any suggestions?

Not a very thorough article.

This article wasn't very informative...they could have given more variation for hairstyles.

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.
