Hairstyles that suit a heart-shaped face

Less volume on top, more fullness around the jaw and chin.

Overview

A heart-shaped face has a wide forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow, often pointed chin, sometimes with a widow's peak. The aim is balance: soften the width at the top with a fringe or side part, and put shape and volume at chin level so the lower face looks fuller. Bobs and lobs with flicked-out ends, side-swept bangs and long layers that carry weight at the ends do this well. For men, a forward or side-swept fringe and a fuller beard do the same job.

Best hairstyles for a heart-shaped face

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

For women

  • Chin-length bob with flicked-out ends

    Puts width right where the chin is narrowest.

  • Wavy lob

    Shoulder-length waves fill out the lower half of the face.

  • Side-swept bangs

    A diagonal fringe narrows a wide forehead without a heavy line.

  • Curtain bangs

    Opens the face and softens the width at the temples.

  • Pixie with soft bangs

    Works when the top is kept flat and the fringe soft; shows off the cheekbones.

  • Shoulder-length shag

    Texture from the chin down adds fullness where it is needed.

  • Butterfly cut

    Face-framing layers that start at the chin balance the forehead.

  • Long layers with weight at the ends

    Keeps the hair full at the bottom instead of tapering to thin ends.

For men

  • Textured crop

    A forward fringe takes width off the forehead.

  • Side-swept fringe

    Breaks up a wide forehead with a diagonal line.

  • Textured quiff with tapered sides

    Moderate height and low tapers keep the top from looking wider.

  • Medium-length waves

    Length at the sides balances a narrow chin.

  • Ivy League

    A short, neat side-parted cut that suits most heart faces.

What to avoid with a heart-shaped face

  • •Lots of volume at the crown or temples
  • •Heavy, straight-across blunt bangs
  • •Hair slicked straight back or pulled into a tight high bun
  • •High or skin fades that strip the sides
  • •Long, flat hair that thins out at the ends
