Face Shape Guide

Heart face

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

The wolf cut normally stacks volume high at the crown, but on a heart face — wide at the forehead, narrow at the chin — that high crown volume broadens the already-wide top. The adaptation is to weight the layers lower: starting the heaviest texture below the cheekbone keeps bulk off the temples, while fullness and movement toward the ends add width at the narrow chin. The wolf cut shaggy lengths and wispy ends naturally build that lower fullness. Soft curtain bangs or wispy face-framing pieces handle the forehead, breaking up its width. So the wolf cut suits a heart face when its signature volume is redistributed down rather than piled up at the crown.

Step by step

How to Style

  1. 01

    Ask for layers and volume weighted below the cheekbone, not at the crown.

  2. 02

    Add soft curtain bangs to break up the forehead.

  3. 03

    Scrunch a sea salt spray and diffuse, easing off crown root-lift.

  4. 04

    Encourage fullness toward the jaw and ends; trim every six to eight weeks.

Pro Tip

Weight the layers below the cheekbone and add soft bangs — high crown volume broadens a heart-face forehead.

Frequently Asked Questions

01. Does a wolf cut suit a heart-shaped face?

02. Where should wolf cut layers start on a heart face?

Below the cheekbone, not at the crown, so bulk stays off the temples and fullness builds toward the narrow chin.

03. Do bangs help a wolf cut on a heart face?

Yes — soft curtain bangs or wispy face-framing pieces break up the wide forehead, a key fix for a heart shape.
