Hairstyles for Heart Faces

A heart-like outline combines a broader upper face with a more tapered lower contour. Consider how much forehead you want to expose and where the hair adds width near the chin or shoulders. The geometry does not establish your true hairline height, particularly when hair covers the forehead.

Compare a soft side-swept fringe, a chin-to-shoulder bob and low-volume curtain layers. Width toward the ends may frame the narrower lower face without adding bulk at the temples. For shorter hair, retain a flexible fringe and preview the sides before choosing a severe fade.

Be cautious with a very tall crown and wide temples if your goal is a more even silhouette. A heavy fringe may be difficult with low density or a strong growth pattern. Ask how the cut can follow your real hairline, and whether the reference needs more length than you currently have.
