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.

Oblong faces: Add lifting layers
"Ask your stylist to cut a lot of layers to give the illusion of lift and width and create balance," suggests Palmer. He also adds that a soft fringe creates the perfect finish and emphasizes your eyes.
