The same way that knowing your skin type can help you tailor the prefect skin care routine, understand your face shape can help you find the most complementary haircut
to help accentuate all of your very best facial features. While there
are many different face shapes out there, today we will be discussing
heart-shaped faces and the best hairstyles
to pair with them. A heart-shaped face is characterized by an elongated
jawline, with the sharpest, smallest point of the face being the chin.
Just think of it as a triangle flipped upside down with rounded edges.
Heart-shaped faces are seen far and wide among celebrities, models, and
everyday gals. While not all of us are famous, by knowing your face
shape, you can get in on the A-list hairstyles, too. So, who’s ready to
find their new haircut? Below, we share the six best hairstyles for
heart-shaped faces and beauty tips for styling each one.

#1
Long Piecey Bangs
There’s nothing like a good pair of bangs
to draw attention front and center. Instead of your chin being a focal
point, long, piecey bangs offer a soft distraction to your face shape
for a seriously flirty, extra pretty look. Just remember—you’re an adult
now, so to stay away from a schoolgirl look, keep your fringe no
shorter than eyelid length. Plus, with added length comes the option to
switch up your fringe on the daily, effectively leading us into our next
look for heart-shaped faces.

Long Side-Swept Bangs
If you take the long, piecey bangs
route but find yourself wishing for a little variation from time to
time, comb your bangs over to the side for a quick and easy face
shape-accentuating hairstyle. On the other hand, if you know from the
get-go that you want to rock a side-swept look, ask your stylist to trim
your tresses for an eye-catching cut. By wearing an angled, side-swept
bang with the shortest pieces grazing your brows and the longest hitting
the outer corners of your eyes, you’ll be able to draw attention up to
your eyes, away from your narrow chin.
#3
Blunt Bangs
If you’re feeling particularly daring
and want to embrace one of the season’s hottest trends, thank your lucky
stars because blunt bangs work beautifully with heart-shaped faces.
Just be sure to keep your fringe clipped to your brows, as going any
shorter can serve less as an accentuation and more of an off-kilter
facial element.

Deep Side Part
When you have a heart-shaped face, you
may find yourself wanting to accentuate areas of your face other than
your chin. To do so, try wearing your hair in a deep side part. The
asymmetrical hairstyle will draw attention to your cheekbones for a
truly chiseled look. The best part? You don’t necessarily have to get
your hair cut this way—simply move from a middle part to a side part
when you see fit.
#5
Piecey Pixie
Piecey hairstyles are all the rage here
in 2018. When paired with a heart-shaped face and cut close to the
head, the result is an ultra-trendy pixie that emphasizes bone structure
without adding to the appearance of your slender chin.
#6
Shoulder-Grazing Lob
As much as we love a classic bob on a
heart-shaped face, we’re particularly fond of the lob at the moment. The
slightly longer, face-framing angles make for a curtain showcasing a
gorgeous face. The angles will help soften the jawline, while the short
length won’t drown out the shape altogether.

How to Take Care of Your New Haircut
Whichever hairstyle you choose, there
are a few things you can do to make your new haircut look its absolute
best. Take a look at your hair care routine and make sure that you have
products including shampoo, conditioner, dry shampoo, and wave spray
on-hand at all times. Together these products can help set you hope for
strands success. Since heart-shaped faces are already top heavy, a
volumizing set of shampoo and conditioner, like the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Volume Shampoo and L’Oréal Paris EverPure Volume Conditioner, can help perk up your hair’s overall shape for a more balanced look. What’s more, a few spritzes of the L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle AIR DRY IT Wave Swept Spray
will not only allow you to give your hair a break from hot tools, but
it will help create natural volume that pairs beautifully with a
heart-shaped face.
