How to Part Your Hair According to Your Face Shape
1. Round-Shaped Face
Muse: @shaimackk
If you have a round face, your best bet is a middle part or a deep side part. These styles create the illusion of a longer face and add vertical balance. A deep side part, in particular, gives volume at the crown while softly slimming the cheeks.
Our muse Shai wears the Kinky Straight Fit 'N' Go™ Wig with a center part—perfect for bringing balance to a round face shape.
SL Raw Pick: Kinky Straight Fit ‘N’ Go™ Wig — Designed to balance soft facial curves with volume and movement.
2. Heart-Shaped Face
Muse: @elisemusic
Heart-shaped faces tend to have wider cheekbones and a narrower chin, so the key is balance. A deep side part works beautifully to soften those angles and draw attention upward.
One style to try is adding curtain bangs, which create softness at the temples and bring focus to your eyes. Here, Elise models our Raw Indian Loose Curly Hair styled in a side part that flatters her heart-shaped face perfectly.
SL Raw Pick: Raw Indian Loose Curly Wefts — The airy, layered texture helps soften cheekbones and frame the jawline.
3. Square Face
Muse: @aliyaprotto
A square face often has a strong jawline and broad forehead. The goal here is to soften the angles with a flattering part and voluminous framing layers.
Try a side-swept part with loose, curly texture—like our model Aliya in the Burmese Curly Fit 'N' Go™ Wig. The curls add roundness, while the swoop part softens the jawline.
SL Raw Pick: Burmese Curly Fit 'N' Go™ Wig — A swooped side part with soft curls helps soften sharp jawlines effortlessly.
4. Diamond Face
Muse: @diamondsare4ever
A diamond face shape is known for high cheekbones and a narrow forehead and chin. To soften these angles, a deep side part paired with flowing layers works best.
Avoid heavy bangs, but if you're into trends, asymmetrical bangs offer a stylish twist that maintains facial balance. Just look at our model Diamond in the Raw Natural Wavy Lace Front Wig, styled with a soft side lay to accentuate her features.
SL Raw Pick: Raw Natural Wavy Lace Front Wig — A layered side part brings out cheekbones while adding balance to narrower chins and foreheads.
5. Oval Face
Muse: @kemilahstewart
Oval face shapes are considered the most versatile, as they naturally suit almost any parting style. Whether it’s a middle part, side part, or even something deep and dramatic—you really can’t go wrong.
Get the look like Kemilah, with our Raw Indian Natural Wavy Hair in a relaxed side part that shows just how effortlessly oval faces can carry a wide range of styles.
SL Raw Pick: Raw Indian Natural Wavy Weft — A go-to for oval faces, this versatile texture plays well with center or side parts.
6. Oblong Face
Muse: @tinsleyerin
Oblong faces tend to be longer than they are wide, so the goal is to add balance and visual softness. A side part with a gentle swoop across the forehead can visually round out the face beautifully.
Bangs are also a flattering option for this shape, especially if you're looking to soften your features or visually shorten the face. Tinsley wears our Raw Indian Natural Wavy Hair in a graceful side part that flatters her oblong face with natural movement.
SL Raw Pick: Raw Indian Natural Wavy Weft — A perfect texture for swoopy side parts and blended volume.
