Hairstyles for heart-shaped faces are designed to enhance the features characteristic of a heart-shaped face, such as a pointed chin, a broader forehead, and defined cheekbones. Bangs are the top recommended style for heart-shaped faces, as they conceal that extra area on the forehead and create balance in the face’s width. Blunt bangs and long, textured bangs are among the most suggested hairstyles for this particular face shape.
Celebrities with heart-shaped faces include actress Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. If you seek flattering cuts for your heart face, the aim will be to create length, add fullness to the chin area, and avoid increasing any additional width at the forehead by incorporating bangs into your look.
