Best Hairstyles for a Diamond Face Shape

Add width at the forehead and jaw so the cheekbones stop being the widest point.

This guide is for the diamond face shape: cheekbones clearly the widest point, with both forehead and jaw at 85% or less of the cheekbone width.

Try

  • Side-swept or full fringes that add width at the forehead
  • Chin-length and lob cuts with volume at the jaw
  • Long layers and waves that fill in the sides below the cheekbones
  • Textured tops with fuller sides and a fringe

Skip or adjust

  • Slicked-back and centre-parted styles that expose a narrow forehead
  • Very short sides that highlight the cheekbones
  • Volume at the cheekbones that adds more width
