    I hate that last one because I'm square-faced (my face begins to get a little bit oval, but it's wider than it's long and it's angular), and people, I love my square jaw, and I don't want to hide it at all. Why does society dare to say a square jaw is 'hard' and 'unfeminine' (Patriarchy's words!)? And what if a round-faced or long-faced person actually likes their round/long face? Why should we hate how we look like and try to hide and change our own face/body/hair type just because society says they're unbecoming?!

    Right, end of hijacking rant . But I really had to say that, i feel so strongly about the subject.
    I'm on the square side of oval too, and I understand what you're saying. Which is I why I put to google the star with the similar face shape and not just stay on the page. It's all well and good for the page to say blah blah blah, but if you look at it and decide that your face shape is similar to drew barrymore, and you google "drew barrymore updo" you are bound to see everything from pigtails to crown braids and it won't all be what 'society' thinks she should wear but what she feels comfortable in, and what might work for you too.

    The thing about these sites is that no two sites have the same celebs for each face shape, I have seen halle berry called a perfect oval, a square, and an upside down triangle, which all have different "rules", but if your face is a similar shape to Halle Berry, by googling her you'll know that ten to one you will look fab with short hair, and that you'll disappear behind heavy shoulder length layers-unless your hair is pure white. (which isn't to say you shouldn't have them, some people want to disappear).
    here are some drew updo's:

    the pics just show that when she piles her hair on top of her head, the focus of her face is on her jaw. When she pulls it back flat, the focus is her cheekbones. Which type hairstyle to wear would just matter on which part of your face you like best, or want to highlight that day.

    (All these you's are theoretical, just to clarify)
