Perhaps the hottest hairstyle of 2011, Jennifer Aniston's angled long bob looks great on all face shapes.

Here's why it works on everyone: This cut softens a defined chin so often seen on heart-shaped faces; it plays down the roundness on a round face; and, it isn't too long to draw down a long face.

So how to make sure your hairstylist mimics this hairstyle exactly? Follow these directions:

• Bring a picture. Just explaining this haircut may not work (although I didn't bring in a picture, and my stylist Kazuo Suzuki at Eva Scrivo Salon did a brilliant job giving me this cut last week).

• "Ask for piecey layers that are longer in the front," says hairstylist Matt Fugate in this month's Allure magazine.
• Tell your stylist you want the back 1 1/2 inches shorter than in the front.
• Explain that the ends need to be slightly wispy (achieved with a razor).
