Best Hairstyles for Heart Face Shape
A heart-shaped face has a wider forehead and cheekbones that taper down to a narrow, sometimes pointed chin. The best hairstyles add width at the jawline and minimize the forehead.

Styles to Avoid
Bang Recommendation
Curtain bangs or side-swept bangs to minimize forehead width. Wispy bangs also work well.
Try These Styles
Bob Haircut
A classic chin-to-shoulder length cut with clean lines. The bob is one of the most versatile and enduring hairstyles, working across all hair textures and face shapes with the right variation.
Pixie Cut
A short, cropped style that hugs the head and highlights facial features. Modern pixie cuts range from edgy and textured to soft and feminine, with endless customization through bangs, sideburns, and nape length.
Lob (Long Bob)
A shoulder-grazing bob that offers the best of both worlds: short enough to look styled, long enough to tie back. The lob is the most requested salon cut globally and works with minimal effort.
Curtain Bangs
Face-framing bangs that part in the center and sweep to each side, resembling a curtain. They blend seamlessly into the rest of the hair and are the most forgiving bang style for beginners.
Braided Hairstyles
Protective and decorative styles woven from three or more strands. From simple three-strand braids to complex box braids, knotless braids, and cornrows, braids protect natural hair while looking stunning.
Fade Haircut
A men's cut where hair gradually tapers from longer on top to very short or skin-close on the sides and back. Variations include low fade, mid fade, high fade, and skin fade, each creating a different silhouette.
