Choosing the perfect wig isn’t just about color or length—it’s about finding a style that enhances your natural features. One of the most important factors to consider is your face shape. The right wig can balance proportions, highlight your best features, and boost your confidence instantly.

At Benjamin Hair & Co Salon, we believe that every client deserves a wig that feels as good as it looks. Whether you’re new to wigs or looking to upgrade your style, this guide will help you find your perfect match.

Why Face Shape Matters When Choosing a Wig

Your face shape plays a huge role in how a wig looks on you. A style that flatters one person might not suit another the same way. The goal is to create balance and harmony—softening angles, adding volume, or elongating features where needed.

Our experts at Benjamin Hair & Co Salon often recommend starting with face shape before exploring colors and textures.

Step 1: Identify Your Face Shape

Before choosing a wig, determine your face shape. Pull your hair back and look in the mirror. Focus on the width of your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline.

Common face shapes include:

• Oval
• Round
• Square
• Heart
• Diamond
• Long (Rectangular)

Step 2: Choose the Right Wig for Your Face Shape

1. Oval Face Shape

Best wigs: Almost everything works!

If you have an oval face, you’re in luck—it’s the most versatile shape.

Recommended styles:

• Long waves
• Bobs (straight or layered)
• Pixie cuts

Pro Tip from Benjamin Hair & Co Salon: Avoid too much height on top to keep your proportions balanced.

2. Round Face Shape

Goal: Add length and reduce width.

Recommended styles:

• Long, layered wigs
• Side-parted styles
• Straight wigs with volume at the crown

Avoid:

• Chin-length bobs
• Full curls around the cheeks

Salon Tip: Angular styles create a slimming effect.

3. Square Face Shape

Goal: Soften strong jawlines.

Recommended styles:

• Soft curls or waves
• Layered cuts
• Shoulder-length wigs

Avoid:

• Blunt cuts
• Boxy styles

Expert Advice: Texture is key to softening sharp features.

4. Heart Face Shape

Goal: Balance a wider forehead and narrower chin.

Recommended styles:

• Chin-length bobs
• Side-swept bangs
• Volume at the ends

Avoid:

• Too much volume on top

Salon Insight: Adding fullness around the jawline creates harmony.

5. Diamond Face Shape

Goal: Highlight cheekbones while softening angles.

Recommended styles:

• Chin-length bobs
• Wavy or curly wigs
• Side parts

Avoid:

Excess volume at cheekbones

Pro Tip: Keep volume at the forehead and chin.

6. Long (Rectangular) Face Shape

Goal: Make the face appear shorter and fuller.

Recommended styles:

• Bangs or fringes
• Shoulder-length waves
• Voluminous curls

Avoid:

Very long, straight wigs

Salon Tip: Width adds balance—go for volume on the sides.
