Steps
-
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!
