If you have a heart-shaped face, your forehead and cheekbones are the widest parts of your head, leading down to a narrower jaw and chin. If you’re interested in getting a new women’s haircut, there are a few ways to highlight your unique bone structure. Here are a few ideas.

Which Women’s Haircut to Choose if You Have a Heart-Shaped Face

1. Long Bob 

Short bobs that cut off at the chin may make your face look more round. Instead, opt for a shoulder-length bob—also known as a lob—to add length to your face. If you’ve had short hair for a while and want a longer cut, this is an easy way to transition.

2. Long Pixie

If you want to try a low-maintenance shorter style, go for a longer pixie cut. This has more than one inch of length, but is shorter than a bob. Choose wispy bangs and many layers for a youthful look, or a sexy pouf and shorter sides to draw attention to your high cheekbones. 

3. Side-Swept Bangs

Since heart-shaped faces can look top-heavy, consider disguising part of the forehead with side-swept bangs. These should be short at the brow and long at the outside of the eye to draw attention to your eyes. This feature works for both long and short women’s haircuts.

4. Long Layers

Women with heart-shaped faces have strong bone structures at the jaw and cheekbones. Since their features are so strong, edgy hairstyles aren’t always necessary to create a beautiful look. Frame the face with a long, layered cut to create texture without bangs, parting at the side to draw attention away from the forehead.
