Best Wig Styles for Round, Oval, and Square Face Shapes
One of the best parts of wearing a wig is being able to choose the styles that flatter you most! But just like with clothing, certain cuts and shapes complement different face shapes. At Godiva’s Secret Wigs, we’ve been helping women since 1997, and we love guiding clients toward the wig styles that highlight their best features and boost their confidence.
How to Determine Your Face Shape
Before you pick a wig, it helps to know your face shape. Stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back, and trace the outline of your face with lipstick or a dry-erase marker. Step back and look at the outline—it’s probably closest to one of these shapes: round, oval, or square.
Best Wig Styles for Round Faces
Round faces are soft and feminine, with full cheeks and a rounded chin. The goal is to elongate and balance your features. Look for: Wigs with height at the crown, styles with long layers or side-swept bangs, and cuts that hit below the chin or longer. Avoid: Very short, full styles that add width around the cheeks. Perfect Styles: Katie Wig – The shoulder-grazing layers and face-framing shape create a lengthening effect. Trixie Wig – A mid-length layered style with soft volume on top and a feathered back. Rochelle Wig – Longer layers that add natural movement and slim the face beautifully.
[Dani & Ro Tip] Side parts are your secret weapon if you have a round face—they create instant balance and the illusion of a longer silhouette.
Best Wig Styles for Oval Faces
Lucky you—oval faces are the most versatile of all! Your features are balanced, with a slightly narrower jawline and forehead. Look for: Almost any style—oval faces can pull off short, medium, or long wigs. Layered bobs or waves add soft framing, while bangs or side parts create variety. Perfect Styles: Freedom Wig – Our #1 wig! This medium length, modern cut with gentle layering flatters every oval face. Aria Wig – A chic, razor-cut pageboy that perfectly frames balanced features. Monroe Wig – Medium-length waves and layers that highlight cheekbones and jawline.
[Dani & Ro Takeaway] With an oval face, have fun! You can experiment with length, texture, and color—oval shapes can wear almost anything beautifully.
Best Wig Styles for Square Faces
Square faces have a strong jawline and broad forehead with an overall symmetrical shape. The goal is to soften those angles and create movement. Look for: Wispy bangs or layers that fall around the jawline, wavy or curly styles that add volume and softness, and shoulder-length or longer wigs that balance sharp features. Avoid: Straight, blunt cuts that end at the jaw—they emphasize the squareness. Perfect Styles: Diana Lace Front Wig – A longer, face-framing style with soft layers and a lace front for a natural hairline. Abigail Lace Front Wig – A medium-length style with shorter back layers that add movement and balance strong jawlines. Nina Wig – Gentle waves and a blow-dried front add softness and elegance.
[Dani & Ro Tip] Square faces look amazing with layers that curve inward toward the face—this softens angles and creates flattering movement.
FAQs About Face Shapes and Wigs
How do I know my face shape? Pull your hair back, trace your reflection in a mirror, and compare it to common face shape guides—round, oval, square, heart, or diamond.
Can I wear a wig that doesn’t “match” my face shape? Of course! These are just helpful guidelines. The best wig is the one that makes you feel confident and beautiful.
Do bangs work on every face shape? Yes, but the type of bang matters. Side-swept bangs flatter round and square faces, while oval faces can pull off almost any style.
Can I virtually try on wigs for my face shape? Absolutely! You can use our Dani & Ro’s Virtual Wig Try-On Room to experiment with styles and colors before you buy.
