Best Hairstyles for a Heart Face Shape
Add volume at the jaw and soften the forehead with a fringe to balance a wider top half.
This guide is for the heart face shape: forehead at least 95% of the cheekbone width, with a jaw at 80% or less of the cheekbone width.
Try
- Chin-length bobs and lobs with volume at the jaw
- Side-swept and curtain fringes that soften the forehead
- Long layers, waves and curls that add width near the chin
- Short cuts with a textured fringe and fuller sides
Skip or adjust
- Slicked-back styles that expose the whole forehead
- Volume and height on top of the head
- Very short, cropped sides that make the jaw look smaller
