Pixie Cut + Heart Face: Keep the Sides Long

Why It Works

A heart face is wide at the forehead and narrow at the chin, so a pixie needs to avoid adding bulk up top while bringing a little width down low. The flattering version keeps the crown and temples textured but not voluminous — piling height and width at the top would broaden the already-wide forehead — and leaves the side pieces longer and wispy so they fall toward the jaw and add a touch of width at the narrow chin. A soft, side-swept fringe breaks up the forehead. The cut to avoid is a high, voluminous pixie with skinned sides, which exposes and widens the forehead while doing nothing for the chin. Long, wispy sideburns-length pieces are the key adjustment.
