Face Shape Guide
Wide forehead tapering to a narrow chin
Add Volume Here: Jaw & temples
Width below the cheekbones balances the wider forehead.
Keep It Short Here: Forehead
Volume here accentuates the top-heavy shape — keep it light.
These are starting points — AI try-on shows you the real result on your actual face.
Why It Works
Long hair suits heart faces when the silhouette is heavier through the mid-lengths and ends than at the crown. Length naturally adds lower visual weight, which helps a narrow chin. Soft long layers near the jaw and chest, plus a side part or light fringe, reduce forehead dominance. Long styles that are all volume at the temples and crown with skinny ends restate the top-heavy triangle.
Best for
- Heart faces adding lower weight with long layers
- Side-part long styles with calm crowns
Skip this if
- Temple-and-crown heavy long shapes with skinny ends
- Fully exposed wide forehead plus top volume
Common mistakes
Long hair that is still top-heavy. Length should add lower presence; crown-only volume reprints the heart triangle.
What to ask your barber
“Heart face — long layers with weight lower down. Soften the forehead. Calm crown.”

Styling notes
Ask for long layers that keep fullness through the lower half of the hair, with optional soft fringe or a deep side part. Avoid over-teasing the crown or carving heavy temple volume. Style ends with body; keep the top controlled. Trim every ten to twelve weeks. If you wear it half-up, leave face-framing pieces so the forehead is not fully exposed.
