HAIRSTYLES FOR HEART FACE SHAPE, SUMMER 2010 EDITION

The first thing to consider when you choose a hairstyle is the shape of your face. There are several face shapes – oval face, round face, square, face, heart and more. If you have a heart face shape you should know the appropriate and inappropriate hairstyles for you. Here are some suggestions on hairstyles for heart face shape.

Heart shaped faces are wide at the temples that narrows to a small chin. Hairstyles for heart face shape are ideally chin-length and longer styles with high levels of texture. You would want your hairstyles to draw attention away from the top width of the face and the narrow bottom half of the face. You should also focus on hairstyles that balance the temples and narrow chin. A chin-length bob would also look great on you as this kind of style brings fullness and balances the narrow chin. You can also try out side-parted hairstyles and side-swept bangs. If you choose to have a longer hairstyle make sure that the hair is contained at the top of the head. The addition of height to the hair visually lessens the width of the face and adds vertical illusion to it.

Avoid styles that emphasize the upper part of the face. Short full styles will make you look top heavy. Keep away from styles that have too much height on the crown. This will only make the chin look narrower and longer. Also, avoid full solid heavy bangs. This will make your face look wider than it already is.
