Soften forehead emphasis, add some fullness lower down, and avoid extreme height with ultra-tight sides.
What works best
- Side parts
- Curtain styles
- Soft fringe

Frequently Asked Questions
01. What should heart-shaped faces avoid?
Very short sides with a tall top usually exaggerate the width at the forehead and make the chin look even narrower.
02. Does fringe help a heart-shaped face?
Usually yes. A soft fringe or curtain fringe can break up forehead width and make the face look more balanced.
03. Can short hair still work on a heart-shaped face?
Yes, but it tends to look best when it keeps some softness around the temples instead of going ultra-tight everywhere.
