What Haircut Suits My Face?
Upload one photo and get haircuts for your face: your face shape is measured, then short and longer cuts that balance it, and an answer to 'should I get bangs?' from how tall your forehead is, with the fringe type that suits your shape.

How it is measured
Shape for the cut, forehead for the bangs.
Stylists start from the outline: add height to a round face, soften a square jaw, add width to a long face. The tool measures that outline the same way as the face shape detector. For bangs it measures the forehead as a share of face height (the upper facial third, 30–36% when balanced). A tall forehead is the classic case for a fringe; a short one is better framed than covered. The hairline is not in the face mesh, so it is estimated from the forehead landmarks.
- Forehead above 36%
- Bangs suit you: a fringe brings the forehead back into proportion.
- 30–36%
- Optional: bangs are a style choice.
- Under 32%
- Skip heavy bangs; face-framing curtain pieces work better.
- Round, square, heart, diamond
- Curtain, side-swept or wispy bangs soften width.
- Oblong
- Full, blunt bangs shorten a long face.

FAQ
What haircut suits my face shape?+
Cuts that balance it: height for round faces, softness for square jaws, width for long faces, volume near the jaw for heart shapes. Upload a photo to get your measured shape and cuts for it.
Should I get bangs?+
The tool answers from your forehead height and face shape. Texture matters too: very curly or cowlicked hair at the front makes blunt bangs hard to keep, and curtain bangs are the lowest-commitment way to try.
What are curtain bangs?+
A fringe parted in the centre and swept to both sides, longer at the edges. It frames the face and grows out easily, which is why it suits most shapes.
Does this work for men?+
Yes. Short cuts are listed for every shape; read the bangs verdict as fringe or no fringe.
Can I see the cut on my photo?+
Not yet; this tool recommends. To try colors on your own hair, use the hair color try-on.
Is my photo uploaded?+
No. Everything runs in your browser.
