Hair Style for Heart Shaped Face

Hair style depends a great deal on the shape of your face, to get the hairstyle right it is important to identify your face shape. There is a simple trick to identify your face shape, stand in front of a mirror and draw the image of face on the mirror. Another way of checking your face shape is to cover your face with a towel and ask someone to feel the shape, alternatively you can take advise from your hair dresser.

Medium length hair styles are best suited for this type of face, there are many options like bangs, layers and natural waves. Bangs can be slightly swept behind to balance out the features and layers can enhance cheekbones, layers can be added at the shoulder length to frame the face.

If you have heart shaped face then try medium or long haircuts, chin length bobs, wispy bangs swept at the sides and layers swept forward around the circumference of the face are ideal for this face type. Avoid too short hairstyles like mohawk, crew cut, razor cut and any manly cuts. Also avoid cuts that will add height at the crown since it will make your chin look thinner.

The best part about heart shaped face is that you have great cheekbones which can be highlighted with the right hair style. With some heavy heart shaped faces it is difficult to wear the hair back, since it shows up the entire face shape, if you choose to sweep your hair behind then leave some long chin length bangs to add some definition.
