The same way that knowing your skin type can help you curate the perfect skin care routine, your face shape can help you find the most flattering hairstyles to accentuate your best facial features. While there are numerous face shapes out there, today we’re focusing on hairstyles and haircuts for heart-shaped faces.
A heart-shaped face is characterized by an elongated jawline, with the sharpest, smallest point of the face being the chin — just think of it as a triangle flipped upside down with rounded edges. Not sure which haircuts will complement your face shape? Below, find the 20 best hairstyles for heart-shaped faces.
There’s nothing like a good pair of bangs for heart-shaped faces. Instead of your chin being a focal point, long, piecey bangs soften your face shape for a seriously flirty, extra pretty look. To make sure you don’t give off a schoolgirl vibe, keep your fringe no shorter th
If you take the long, piecey bangs route but find yourself wishing for a little variation from time to time, comb your bangs over to the side for a quick and easy face shape-accentuating hairstyle. On the other hand, if you know from the get-go that you want to rock a side-swept look, ask your stylist to trim your tresses for an eye-catching cut.
If you’re feeling particularly daring and want to embrace one of the season’s hottest trends, thank your lucky stars that blunt bangs work beautifully for those with heart-shaped faces. Just be sure to keep your fringe brow length, as going any shorter can serve less as an accentuation and more as an off-kilter facial element.
If straight hair is more your style, combine your sleek strands with a classic set of bangs for a seriously trendy look. Bangs effortlessly bring the focus to your eyes, while your long mane allows you to play with length and highlight your cheekbones for a look that’s sure to turn heads.
The slightly longer, face-framing angles of a lob act almost like a curtain showcasing a gorgeous face. The angles will help soften the jawline, while the short length won’t drown out your face shape altogether.
While you have lob hairstyles on the brain, a wavy lob may be worth adding to your must-try list. Paired with a middle part, this trendy hairstyle effortlessly frames your face for a delicate touch.
With the length ending right at the chin, this style draws the eye to the center of your face for a balanced look. You can also experiment with fringe to really get the most out of this look.
Perfect for when you want to make your top knot a big fancier, the front long tresses will elongate your face while complementing your prominent cheekbones.
Offering the best of both worlds in the bangs and textured hair department, this feathery fringe style won’t steer you wrong. Thanks to your blended layered bangs, this look gives your face a slim look with a bit of softness for a standout hairstyle.
A high ponytail with loose curls framing the face balances the sharpness of a heart-shaped face, while also adding some volume to the lower part of the face.
