How To: Choose the best hairstyles for a heart-shaped face

Bring out the beauty of your heart-shaped face with a flattering hairstyle.

Step 1: Determine that your face is heart shaped
Pull your hair away from your face and examine its shape in the mirror. A heart-shaped face is wider at the temples and hairline with a narrower chin.

Step 2: Decide how short you want your hair to be
Decide how short you want your hair to be. Super-short cuts don't work well with a heart-shaped face. Chin length or longer is usually best.

Avoid a blunt bob cut that hits right at the nape of your neck.

Step 3: Think about getting bangs and long layers
Think about getting side-swept bangs and long layers. These styles will frame your face.

Step 4: Part your hair in the middle
Style your hair so that it is parted in the middle. This will create the illusion of vertical length.

Add extra volume to the top of your style to elongate a heart-shaped face.

Step 5: Work with your hairstylist
Work with your hairstylist to figure out the kind of look you want. Then, watch the transformation into a new you!

Fact: On average, an adult loses about 100 strands of hair from their scalp every day.
