Haircuts that suit a diamond-shaped face

Add width at the forehead and chin, keep the cheekbones as they are.

Overview

A diamond-shaped face has high, wide cheekbones with a narrower forehead and a narrow, often pointed chin. It is easy to confuse with oval; the difference is that the forehead and jaw are both clearly narrower than the cheekbones. Good cuts add some width or a fringe at the forehead and keep length or texture near the jaw, while avoiding anything that makes the cheekbones look even wider, such as very tight sides right at cheekbone level.

Best haircuts for a diamond-shaped face

Every style here is in the try-on list above.

For men

  • Textured crop with a soft fringe

    A fringe widens the look of a narrow forehead.

  • French crop

    A blunt, forward fringe with short sides; simple and balanced.

  • Side-swept fringe

    Adds width across the forehead with a sweeping line.

  • Short faux hawk with low tapered sides

    Some height on top, but the low taper keeps hair beside the cheekbones.

  • Relaxed side part

    An off-centre part softens the angles; keep the sides slightly longer.

  • Curly top with a low fade

    Curls add width up top while a low fade keeps the sides tidy.

  • Low fade with a full beard

    A beard fills out a narrow chin and balances the cheekbones.

For women

  • Textured lob with side-swept bangs

    Bangs widen the forehead and length at the jaw fills out the chin.

  • Chin-length layered bob

    Volume at chin level balances wide cheekbones.

  • Long layers starting below the cheekbones

    Keeps the cheekbones visible without adding width there.

  • Off-centre part with loose waves

    Breaks the symmetry and softens a sharp shape.

What to avoid with a diamond-shaped face

  • •High or skin fades that start right at cheekbone level
  • •A strict centre part, which points at the narrow chin and forehead
  • •Very short buzz cuts that show the whole outline of the face
  • •Lots of height on top with very tight sides, which looks boxy
  • •Volume puffed out at the cheeks
