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
