What Is a Heart Face Shape?

A heart face shape features a wider forehead tapering to a narrow, pointed chin. Cheekbones are prominent, and the forehead is the widest point of the face. It is often described as an “inverted triangle” shape.

The styling goal for heart faces is to minimize the forehead's visual width while adding volume and width at the jaw and chin area to create harmonious balance between the upper and lower face.

Frequently Asked Questions

What defines a heart face shape?+
A heart face has a wide forehead and cheekbones that taper to a narrow, pointed chin. The forehead is the widest part of the face, giving it an inverted triangle appearance.
What is the best hairstyle for a heart face?+
Styles that add volume and width below the cheekbones work best — chin-length bobs, long waves with flared ends, and side-swept bangs. The goal is to balance the wide forehead with the narrow chin.
Should heart faces have bangs?+
Yes — side-swept or curtain bangs help visually reduce forehead width. Avoid full blunt bangs that draw attention to the width.
