Heart-shaped faces are wider at the forehead and gently narrow down at the jawline. You may have a pointy chin (think Reese Witherspoon). This shape is also known as the "inverted-triangle."

Styles That Work Best on a Heart-Shaped Face

Your pointy chin tends to be the focal point of your face. Draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones instead with side-swept bangs (like these in this photo gallery), brow-grazing fringe, a strong part and hair that falls at or below your jawline. See my gallery of the best bangs by face shapes for more information.

Short hair tends to look great on heart-shaped faces, especially the pixie hairstyle. Keep top layers soft and long. See what short haircuts look best on your face.

If you like long hair, go for long layers that graze your cheek bones.

Styles To Avoid on a Heart-Shaped Face


Avoid short, blunt-cut bangs and harsh, choppy layers.
