Face shape fit
Wearing this with a heart face
The shape
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?

How to achieve it
Blow-dry with a round brush to control the perimeter, then bevel the ends lightly or add a few soft bends through the top layer. A small amount of texture cream keeps the shape modern.
