Face shapes, haircuts, and which apps actually work
Four guides written to answer the question first and sell you nothing until the end. Measure your face shape properly, find out which cuts suit it, and read what happened when eight AI hairstyle apps were handed the same selfie. When you want to see a cut on your own face instead of reading about it, that is what HairGlam does.

The guides
Written by the person who built the app, which means the app test names competitors and does not pretend HairGlam wins everything.
The 8 best AI hairstyle apps in 2026, tested
Eight apps, one selfie each, judged on the only thing that matters: does the person in the result still look like you. Ratings, what each one charges you for, and where each one falls apart.
Best haircuts for a round face
Long layers, side parts and a lob that hits below the jaw, and why a blunt chin length bob is the one that fights you. Includes the quick check for whether your face is round or just full through the cheeks.
Best haircuts for an oval face
Oval takes nearly every cut, so the advice everyone gives you is useless. Here is what each length actually does to your proportions, and the two things worth avoiding.
How to know your face shape
Four measurements, a tape measure and a mirror, plus the ratios that decide between round, oval, square, heart and long. Or skip the arithmetic and read the answer off a photo.
Every guide here ends in the same place: the Discover tab. Search a cut by name, or filter by Trending, Bold Color, Bob and Curly, then watch it render onto your photo instead of a model's.
Skip the reading and try it
If you already know what you want to see on your face, start on one of these.
Virtual hairstyle try on
How the try on works, what a good upload photo looks like, and what to expect from the result.
What haircut suits me?
Work out your face shape, then see the recommended cuts on your own head rather than on a chart.
Should I get bangs?
Curtain, blunt, wispy and side swept, tested on your photo before anyone picks up scissors.
Try on hair colors
Platinum blonde, burgundy, jet black and money piece highlights against your real skin tone.
Haircuts for men
Fades, buzz cuts, textured fringes and mullets, rendered on your face before the barber's chair.
Reading about a haircut only gets you so far
Upload one selfie and put over 240 cuts and colors on your own face. The guides tell you what should suit you. The app shows you whether it does.
