Wig.com Face Shape Guide

 
Let the Face Shape Guide assist you in selecting a style that is perfect for you. Your facial shape is the starting point to choosing a style that flatters you.

To find out the shape of your face, measure it with a tape measure - and write them down:
  • Measure your face across the top of your cheekbones.
  • Measure across jawline from the widest point to the widest point.
  • Measure across forehead to the widest point. Generally the widest point will be about halfway between your eyebrows and hairline.
  • Measure from the tip of your hairline to the bottom of chin.
OVAL - many choices

Oval face shape
Slightly narrower at the jawline than at the temples, with a gently rounded hairline.
Try: Most any hair shape works well. Short, medium and long lengths, plus styles swept away from face.
