What are the 6 face shapes on the chart?
The six main face shapes are oval, round, square, heart, diamond, and oblong. Each is defined by the relationship between forehead width, cheekbone width, jaw width, and face length.
Research shows only about 11% of people have a pure square face shape — and most people are a blend of two shapes, not a clean single category. This is why face shape charts are a starting point, not a definitive answer. AI detection that returns blend percentages (like “72% oval + 28% heart”) is more accurate and gives more useful styling direction.

Most people are between two shapes.
A result like “72% oval + 28% heart” tells you exactly how much correction is needed. Charts can't do that.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 6 main face shapes?+
The six main face shapes are: Oval (balanced, slightly longer than wide), Round (similar length and width, full cheeks), Square (strong angular jaw, equal widths), Heart (wide forehead, narrow chin), Diamond (wide cheekbones, narrow forehead and jaw), and Oblong/Long (notably longer than wide, straight jawline). Most people are a blend of two shapes.
How do I read a face shape chart?+
A face shape chart compares four key measurements: forehead width, cheekbone width, jaw width, and face length. The relationships between these four measurements determine which shape category you fall into. If forehead ≈ cheekbones > jaw and face is longer than wide, that's oval. If all widths are similar and face is as wide as long, that's round or square depending on jaw sharpness.
What is the most common face shape?+
Oval and round are the most frequently occurring shapes. Research identified that only about 11% of people have a square face shape. The majority of people are blends of two shapes, which is why single-label face shape charts are often inaccurate — most faces don't fit cleanly into one box.
Can I use a face shape chart to determine my shape accurately?+
A chart gives you a starting point, but self-identification from a chart is notoriously inconsistent. Studies show people frequently misidentify their own face shape because they're estimating proportions visually. AI landmark detection — which measures 468 precise points — is significantly more accurate than comparing your face to a chart illustration.
What is the difference between oval and round face shapes on the chart?+
Both are soft with curved features, but oval is longer than wide (length:width ratio roughly 1.5:1) while round is nearly equal in length and width. Oval also has a slightly narrower jawline relative to the cheekbones. Round has fuller, more prominent cheeks.
How accurate is AI face shape detection vs a chart?+
AI maps 468 exact facial landmark points and calculates precise ratios — it doesn't rely on visual estimation. A face shape chart requires you to estimate your own proportions in a mirror, which introduces significant error. AI also returns a blend percentage (like 75% oval + 25% heart) rather than a forced single label, making the result more useful.
What is the Face Shape Blend™?+
Face Shape Blend™ is FaceShapeDetector's result format — instead of forcing your face into one chart category, it shows the percentage of each shape present. A result like "72% oval + 28% heart" is more accurate and actionable than simply "oval" because it tells you how much correction or balance is actually needed.
Does face shape change with age or weight?+
Yes, gradually. Bone structure changes minimally with age, but fat distribution shifts — particularly at the cheeks, jaw, and temples. Weight gain typically softens and rounds facial features. Weight loss sharpens and lengthens. These changes can shift your blend percentages even if your underlying bone structure stays constant.
How do I use the face shape chart for hair and styling decisions?+
Match your face shape to the styling goal: oval = most versatile, just maintain balance. Round = add vertical length, avoid width at cheek level. Square = soften with texture and curves. Heart = add width at jaw, reduce at forehead. Diamond = balance cheekbone width. Oblong = add horizontal width, reduce height.
Is FaceShapeDetector free?+
Yes. The free preview gives you your Face Shape Blend™ and basic styling direction. The full report ($6.99 one-time) unlocks 9 hairstyle previews on your actual photo, detailed styling guide, symmetry score, golden ratio analysis, and — for men — a Barber Card™.
