hair cuts

Often, when people write in and ask me about trendy haircuts, I recommend that they first define their face shape, then talk to their stylist about what modern cuts best complement their features.

So today, I've created a definitive Guide To Haircuts That Flatter Your Face Shape, so you'll be better prepared next time you are in the stylist's chair. Below, I've rounded up four posts that will help you determine your face shape and find the hairstyle that's right for you.

• Heart Shaped Faces
• Round Faces
• Long and Oval Faces
• Square Faces

You may covet your favorite celeb's hairstyle, but if the 'do doesn't fit your face shape, you're likely to be disappointed. Hence, Fabsugar's four-part series on the haircuts that best flatter your face. Welcome back to our fourth and final installment: square faces.

It also means that you have lots of flexibility in the choosing which length you want to wear your hair. Almost any length is flattering.

Or, you could just as easily go for a short and spiky cut with choppy ends.
