- Oval: One and a half mm length of width, softly rounded jaw, with simply and gently well-balanced proportions.
- Round: Full cheeks and soft rounded jaw oval perimeter consistent in length and width.
- Square: Angular jawline tapering outwards, broad forehead, with the same length and width-perfectly angular.

- Diamond: Narrow, with the widest bit at the high cheekbones.
- Now that you know, here’s an opportunity to cut hair to design anywhere near symmetrical features that harmonize conversation in your life.
