Celeb Example: Shilpa Shetty
Best Haircuts: Layered bangs suit the bill because they delude others by taking weight off your face and offset your roundness. If you are going for a short haircut, make sure these give height to your face. For instance, bob with razored ends will add angles and make your face look oval.
Haircuts to avoid: You must stay away from cuts that add volume to your cheeks. The idea is to give your face a slender dimension by stealing the volume off your round face. Keep away from centre parting as these accentuate your roundness.
Diamond Shape

Haircuts to avoid: You can keep away from short bangs. It will make your face look longer and highlight the angles.
Square Shape

Best haircut: Layers and razored ends are the best for your face type because they will balance out the boxiness of your face and the dramatic jaw line. It will also make your face look deceivingly longer. So, keep your hair long and flowy. But, if you have short hair, keep them curly and rounded to avoid highlighting the defined and bold edges of your face.

Heart Shape

Celeb Example: Priyanka Chopra
Best Haircuts: To create an illusion and shrink the broad forehead, it is best if you go for a haircut that adds volume to your hair and is flowy towards the chin. For instance, chin-length bob cut and side swept bangs.
Haircuts to avoid: Since you already have a wide forehead, avoid hairstyles that will make your face top heavy and chin even narrower. And, it is also safe to say that you must stay away from slicked-back ponytails for they will make your chin look even more fragile.

Haircuts to avoid: If you are considering your facial features, then those with large noses should steer away from centre-parting. If you have a high forehead then you must go for bangs with a side parting tucked behind your ear.
Oblong Shape

Best Haircuts: Bangs are your best friends, just keep the sides and front hair shorter. You can also opt for chin length bob cuts and curls and waves that add width to your face. If you have long hair, start the layers below your chin.
Haircuts to avoid: To avoid your face length to be highlighted and drag it further below, it is better you keep miles away from long, straight cuts; also avoid pixie cuts for it will make the squared out features of your face come in the limelight.
