Hairstyles for Diamond Faces

A diamond-like outline has prominent cheek width with a narrower forehead and lower face. A small amount of fullness above or below the cheeks can create more than one visual focal point. The aim is to explore framing, not to conceal distinctive cheekbones.

Compare a curtain bob, a side-swept fringe and softer waves toward the lower face. For a short cut, a scissor-cut side can preserve more temple fullness than a tight fade. A chin-length edge and a longer layered outline create different relationships with the cheekbones, so keep both in the shortlist if they suit your texture.

Avoid automatically putting the widest hair volume directly at cheek level when that is not the emphasis you want. Dense curls may expand more than the reference image, and very short sides may make the upper outline look narrower. Ask for a dry-length estimate and discuss glasses or accessories that share the same space around the temples.
