The Right Hairstyle For Your Heart Face Shape

Heart face shapes need to add some length to their shape and to create width around narrow chins.
 

Hairstyles To Try: Any textured chin-length hairstyles will suit best. If bangs are wanted make sure that they are side swept not straight across as blunt ones will only make your face shape shorter and wider. Shoulder length cuts with wispy layers that kick out will also work very well. Height on top will work but only if they belong to shoulder length or longer hairstyles.
 

Hairstyles To Avoid: Short, full hairstyles like slicked back looks that emphasize your upper face, and short styles with heavy straight across bangs that create an upside down triangular shape.

 

The heart shaped face, has long been popular with poets. Your face is heart-shaped if it's wide at the forehead and tapered to a pointed, piquant chin. To attain the illusion of the desirable oval you must balance your face by filling out the chin and taking away width from the forehead.
 

Do…

  • Wear fluffy, asymmetric bangs which cover part but not your entire wide brow

  • Try fullness and width below the ears to broaden the narrow chin line

  • Break your own heart with angled parts. Try a high part that slants straight toward the center of the crown to break forehead width

  • Wear hair ear-tip length. Longer length covers ears and balances narrow jaw

  • Direct eye catching defined strands of hair toward your cheekbones

  • Concentrate on soft hairlines

Don’t…

  • Wear straight bangs

  • Part your hair dead center

  • Skim your hair back
     

Makeup…
Brows should be widely arched. Shadow should be applied from lash to brow. Emphasize both upper and lower outer lids with
eyeliner. Make a wide generous curve of your lips.

Hair Color…
Keep hair lighter at forehead and temples, darker at crown and back.
