Finding a new hairstyle that helps you show off your best features can be a great way to boost your confidence. If your chin is more narrow than your forehead that means you have a heart-shaped face. Check out these 15 heart-shaped face hairstyle picks that will elevate your beauty. You will find long hairstyles, short hairstyles, and every hairstyle in between to help you find your new favorite hairstyle.
#1: Sun-Kissed Blonde Transformation with Soft Layers
A haircut can really change someone’s appearance, and this one does so with no effort. Her long, natural blonde hair has been turned into a shorter, bouncy layered bob which helps to accentuate her cheekbones, so much so that it might even surprise her. The lighter ends of her hair give a youthful look, and for those with hair that is medium to thick, the best I can say about a haircut is that it will style itself in the mornings, and this is one of those haircuts. Applying a little color-protecting shampoo to the ends will help keep them looking bright and soft between salon visits.
#2: Flowing Chestnut Waves with Subtle Highlights
It’s a beautiful color, and the best compliment I can give the color chestnut is that it looks like she’s always had it, like she was born with it. The subtle highlights add great depth to the overall look, and with this length and these waves, you get movement without think about it too much. The style looks great down for dinner, and it also looks good half up on a Tuesday. I would mention that you need to make sure the ends stay healthy, but that shouldn’t take too much effort.
#3: Golden-Toned Bob with Textured Bangs
The bangs are amazing! I love how they alter and change the proportions of her face and do it in a way that isn’t too obvious and is more subtle. The warmer gold tone looks a lot better on her than the blonder shades that everyone tends to go for. It also makes me wish more people went for that! If you have straight hair and have been considering bangs, this is the one I would recommend. Just keep in mind that bangs are a commitment, but they are not too bad! Just a small round brush and 2 minutes in the morning and they’ll be good.
#4: Elegant Raven Waves with Face-Framing Layers
No other hair color has this unique characteristic like black. This type of silky, shiny hair looks like it is lit from the inside again. The face framing layers do add some softening around the cheekbones, and they also leave the length and the weight of the hair. For hair this dark, I would recommend a color protecting shampoo to maintain the shine because that is what it is about. This style does take some maintenance, but honestly it’s a trade off because it gives so much more.
#5: Chic Asymmetrical Bob with Soft Bangs
I love seeing bob hairstyles that are asymmetrical cuts but are not too edgy and this one is a perfect example! The bangs are great because they are a good way to draw attention to her eyes, and the shorter back and longer front give this style the right amount of interest without being too crazy, which is awesome! I will say that this style would require some maintenance so that you don’t feel like you are sporting a grown out haircut after about five to six weeks. However, with fine to medium hair, achieving both the structure and movement of this haircut is very difficult, so it is awesome to see.
#6 Lush Caramel Waves with Soft Balayage Highlights
My first note is that the fullness is resting around the jaw and changes the balance of everything. For a heart shaped face, it’s doing real work while looking completely effortless which is great. The balayage is more toned down and is more about the feel of dimension than making a color statement and I think it’s the right choice with this much natural wave. It’s the sort of style that lets you skip a wash day and look put together. Hair of medium to thick density really thrives at this length, where there’s enough weight to maintain a smooth wave, but not so much that it drags everything down.
#7: Platinum-and-Pink Waves for Heart-Shaped Faces
I’m so glad I get to do another service in pink! I love how this soft pink combined with some platinum looks fun without being too costumey. The wavy elements of this design help keep it dimensional, especially since lighter colors tend to look a little more flat. I won’t lie, pink does fade pretty quickly. To avoid harsh comments, a color safe shampoo is a must! Just keep in mind that refreshing the tone is required every few weeks. But boy is it fresh while it lasts!
#8: Deep-Black Cascading Waves with Mid-Part
Central parting does more than just split hair evenly. It elongates the face a little which helps to balance out a wider forehead. The large soft waves create that airiness that stops the black from feeling heavy and harsh. I understand clients think long dark hair is super high maintenance but a cut like this is way more forgiving than it looks. The waves do not all have to be curled to be ‘done’. The softer and glossier your hair is the more frequent deep conditioning it will need, and the more protective it will be. Weekly deep conditioning is crucial, it is a stunning result from a simple formula.
#9: Sleek Chestnut Bob with Tousled Bangs
I love how these bangs fall in different directions. It makes the style look more realistic and lived in. The chestnut color, along with the warm tones, and the short length of the style, give a very fresh and modern look. There is an interesting sleekness about the contrasting bob with the slightly messy bangs. A little bit of texture spray will finish off the look. Having this hairstyle and getting ready is very satisfying.
#10: Playful Voluminous Curly Bob for Heart-Shaped Faces
People should embrace their curls, and this cut allows you to do just that. This style promotes definition, so instead of being weighed down and all clumped into one thick mass, your curls will frame your face with nice volume. If your curls are finer, this cut will help create the illusion of double the volume. While curls can be difficult to maintain, this bob cut keeps your curls at a manageable length without losing the drama. After getting a cut like this, you’ll definitely want to stop straightening your hair and let your hair do its thing.
#11: Glossy Chestnut Layers with Curtain Bangs
I appreciate curtain bangs and how they work for a heart-shaped face. They help soften the appearance of the face and help tone down the severity of the forehead without hiding it, and the layers add some movement as well. The gloss on this color is what really grabbed my attention. That takes healthy hair and good products, no way around it. But the reward is a style that looks expensive and intentional. The length is good, long enough for the layers to really move, and short enough that it doesn’t become a project every morning.
#12: Rich Auburn Shoulder-Length Curls with Voluminous Body
Auburn is a color that I feel people quickly talk themselves out of, and then they try it and end up thinking about all the what ifs. This shade has a warmth that really enhances the eyes and makes the skin look nice and glowy. Also, the curls here are really nice. They help create volume around the cheeks and sort of draw attention to the middle of the face instead of the forehead. A good hydrating curl cream will help keep these looking defined and bouncy until the next wash. It playful and polished at the same time, which isn’t easy to pull off.
#13: Edgy Platinum Pixie with Textured Fringe
Getting a pixie haircut is always a risk, and going platinum is a big step, but it gets to pay off when it pays off. It really does pay off in this example. The textured fringe here is so soft and adds so much to the overall style, and also prevents it from feeling too harsh. With fine and medium hair, the light color layered hair provides the illusion of thickness and the color boosts it even more. I won’t pretend the maintenance is a walk in the park. You’ll have visible roots so that will be an obvious factor , and the hairstyle requires a bit of work in the morning to maintain the texture of the style (you’ll also need some styling product to maintain the shape). But maintenance aside, this is the type of haircut that changes your whole mood and outlook.
#14: Captivating Mid-Length Curly Layered Cut
I can tell how the layers interact with the curl pattern. The layers seem to be cut at different lengths to form a sort of waterfall effect. The ashy blonde is a nice touch, and with the natural color, it won’t be a big maintenance commitment. The volume is at the chin, which is a good spot for heart-shaped faces. It’s the kind of cut where you can put some product in it, you can let it air dry, and the cut will do the rest.
#15: Beachy Bleach Blonde Waves with Shadow Roots
Shadow roots is an excellent technique for blonde hair because it allows clients to spend less time at the salon while still giving a fresh look. The dark colors that are painted on the root area reduce the contrast between the hair and the face to help soften the appearance of the forehead and create some more depth. Complementing the hair cut with a good wave creates an undone, natural look that is very effortless. If your hair is on the thicker side, this will look even better. With blonde hair, however, there is more upkeep than with darker shades and you will need to use a good purple shampoo and be a bit more patient when it comes to conditioning as the maintenance will be required more often.
