It’s when the forehead is the fullest part of the face, and the chin is pointed, creating, you guessed it, a heart shape! Think celebrities Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts, or Jennifer Garner.
Despite the attractiveness of a heart-shaped face, some hairstyles aren’t ideal. For example, if your face is shaped like a heart, pulling your hair back into a bun or a ponytail isn’t the best look. So what hairstyles are the best look for this shape?
Shoulder length hair with long bangs that sweep off to the side is a flattering style. The bangs draw attention to the eyes. Another style that’s great for this shape is the classic bob.
You’ve got bangs in front and hair that ends and frames the chin. Anything chin length is excellent for the heart-shaped. What if your hair is short? No problem!
The pixie, a variant of the crop cut, works great on heart-shaped faces. The hair is fuller on top and short around the back and sides with the pixie cut.
Depending on the kind of style you desire for a heart-shaped face will depend on how much maintenance is needed.
For example, if you wear your hair the way Reese Witherspoon has, shoulder-length with sweeping bangs, it won’t require as much maintenance as a pixie cut, as Ginnifer Goodwin has worn, that would need maintenance at least every five to six weeks.
How can you tell if you have a heart-shaped face? Look in the mirror! Observe your jawline, the length of your face, and the width of your face. Does your face resemble a heart? If so, check below for some gorgeous examples.
