Who it suits
The catalog lists all six face shapes (round, oval, square, heart-shaped, diamond and long (oblong)) as suiting the long coily layers. It marks no face shape as a weaker fit.
For a round face: Add height on top and keep the sides slimmer to lengthen the face. For an oval face: Balanced proportions: most cuts work, so pick for your lifestyle. For a square face: Soften a strong jaw with texture, layers and movement.
The catalog pictures it on coily hair. The catalog says a stylist can usually cut it on curly and coily hair, and leaves straight and wavy hair off that list, so ask a stylist who works with your texture.

FitMyFace hair previews are approximations, not predictions of how your hair will lie after a cut. Ordinary hairstyle try-ons perform face analysis on-device. The optional AI previews (hair and glasses) send a photo to Cloudflare; your consent is the one "I agree" on the scan screen, and a switch on the results turns them off.
