Heart Face
Use chin-level movement, a side fringe or length through the ends as references if you want to shift visual emphasis lower.
What defines a heart face?
A heart-shaped face is widest at the forehead and cheekbones, then tapers to a narrow, often pointed chin. The top of the face carries the weight and the jaw is delicate.
Works to explore
Chin-length bobs, side-swept fringe and waves through the ends are useful ideas when you want more activity around the jaw.
Be careful with
Extra crown volume or a very exposed forehead draws the eye upward. Keep it when that emphasis is part of your intended look.
Ask your stylist
Where should layers begin so the shape works with my hair density, cowlicks and preferred fringe maintenance?

Long Layers with Face-Framing Waves
Soft, face-framing waves cascade through long layers, gently softening a heart-shaped face by drawing attention inward and balancing a narrower chin with volume at the jawline.
Long Layered Waves
Long layered waves add movement and softness throughout the length, creating an elongated silhouette that flatters a heart-shaped face with a fuller forehead and delicate chin.
Effortless Beach Waves
Tousled, effortless beach waves bring a relaxed, undone texture that softens a heart-shaped face's angles while keeping the look breezy and low-maintenance.
Side-Part Lob
A sleek side-part lob hits just below the chin, breaking up width at the forehead and adding subtle asymmetry that flatters a heart-shaped face with clean, modern lines.
Classic Blunt Bob
A classic blunt bob delivers crisp, clean-cut edges that sit at the jawline, adding structured width to balance a heart-shaped face's narrower lower half.
