face shape

I voted square/oblong though it really is more oval, but not like an egg. So, oblong.

As for your hair, wear it as you like. I think the way your wear your hair (how you part it, strict or soft, hanging loose or pinned back) does more of a difference than the shape of your face does. I mean, we see beautiful ladies with long hair of all face shapes here! No one can ever look wrong in a bun or braid, for example. Why else would buns of different kinds be so popular with brides etc.?

I would assume triangluar would be if the chin were wider, and the forehead narrower. If it were the other way, it would be "heart" shaped.

Eh, I picked heart shaped. I would guess between heart and oval. I measured once, I read somewhere you can close one eye, and trace your face shape in soap on a mirror, then look at the shape. It was a dead-ringer oval when I did that, but when I look at my face, I swear it is heart shaped.

Wow, so many of you have an oval shape...
Mine is oval as well, or so I think.

Oval, but my hairline is straight. One of the reasons I look better with a fringe.

There are a lot of things one "shouldnt" do but I think you should just go for what makes you happy!

I THINK I'm somewhere between a heart and something else.The whole face shaping thing confuses me because I don't fit perfectly into one category - such is life. I only recently discovered I can pull of very short cuts with my face shape, but I miss my long hair. However I've never really worried about what face shape I have and my hair cut - I guess a well trained hairdresser should be able to tell you or at least asses it in accordance with giving you suggestion that would work with your hair. After all most GOOD hairdressers cut your hair to best compliment you, your lifestyle and your hair type. Emphasis on good - as I'm sure many of you have had I've had my fair share of nasty cuts! Some people should be not allowed to wield scissors! *shutters at the memory*

I have a diamond shaped face -which is something I get from my rainforest background.

i chose other, because i have a diamond shaped face - narrow chin and forehead, widest point of the face definitely cheekbones.

i wear glasses, and i had a styler who asked me if I could remember glasses from teh past that i really liked. i said yes - my old buddy holly glasses and a pair of vintage cat-eye glasses. and he was relieved, because that upward sweep is very flattering to diamond shaped faces, so that was what he brought for me.

i definitely prefer my hair pulled back from hanging on either side of my face, and "framing layers?" LOLNO. half ups show off my strong cheekbones, so all of my styles are pulled away from my face. and bangs/fringe on me has always been a disaster.

I have an oval face, but it is very tiny. Sometimes I wonder if I will look good with long hair, but so far nobody gave me any negative comments (it's almost BSL now). It will probably look better when I keep the front shorter than the back.
