Celebrity hairstyles that suit the heart shape

Celebrity hairstyles that suit the heart shape

Heart-shaped faces high-five first. Me too. Second, because you have such a particular head shape, you've probably received some sharp advice on how to style and style your hair. Believe me, there are some outdated ideas about “bad” hairstyles that look good on heart-shaped faces (i.e., making the face look less heart-shaped). Luckily, there are plenty of celebrities with heart-shaped faces, and they and their stylists provide us with plenty of inspiration. Keep reading to see the best celeb-inspired hairstyles for heart-shaped faces.

The actress's lob (long bob) grazes her shoulders and hits well below her jawline. It's shaggy and a bit '80s, but it's a really fun style that balances structure and volume.

A too “severe” updo may make your face look more angular. If you want something a little less red-carpet-y, you can go for something a little more messy.

Asymmetry is the friend of the heart-shaped face: see how Ciara's angular cut reflects her jawline” The decision of how to part hair has sparked much debate online (and as seen here, a deep side part is gorgeous), but the more salient question is how it makes your hair look down there.

This hairstyle and style is probably not for the faint of heart. The center part is not very forgiving, the cut is extremely straight with minimal layers, and this precise crimp shape is only possible if the hair is fine. However, as with many of the styles on this list, it can add much-needed volume at the bottom without looking triangular.

Big, bold updos are not out of reach for those with heart-shaped hair. In fact, curls and volume toward the ends, like Tessa Thompson's, can help balance the look. You don't have to style your hair slicked back, but you may want to experiment with the position of your hair at the nape of your neck.

Ruby Rose's trademark pixie is the epitome of beauty, and it's easy to see why they do it so often. You might worry that a pixie will make your heart-shaped face look even more angular because of the volume on top, but the key is to keep the sides short or let them flow back.

While the “Rachel” haircut certainly worked well for Jennifer Aniston's heart-shaped face (the layers curl inward and frame her head beautifully), this less intense version is equally stunning. The layers framing the face are flattering without much work with a curling iron.

Long braids look great on Gabrielle Union. The key here is that a deep side part is especially chic in this style (and a heart-shaped face can handle really, really long hair).

Whether the hair is gathered in twists and braids like Keke Palmer's, gelled back, or pinned back with a headband, keeping the hair away from the face emphasizes the bone structure and the shape of the head.

For those with pin-straight hair or who specialize in straight perms, Katie Holmes' long cut is a good option. Even without volume, the “spikiness” of the lower cut leads the eye downward. There is also a center part, but it is not extreme.

Gwyneth Paltrow's hair could not be straighter, giving length to the face and making it look egg-shaped instead of heart-shaped. To be clear, Paltrow also makes full use of short cuts that show off her face shape, but if you don't want to do much upkeep, this will grow well.

Don't run away from the unevenness. First, Taraji P. Henson has a long, edgy pixie on one side, and this hairdo is great. However, the top layer frames the face nicely, even if the back is extremely short. FYI, this requires regular haircuts.

The queen of bouncy curls, Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr shows off a classic hairstyle (perfect for us heart-shaped people). The larger curls enhance her broad chin, while the longer cut adds length and balance to her face. Note the side part.

Actress Lana Condor's '70s-style shaggy cut is a modern take on the classic blowout. The bangs look great on people with heart-shaped faces. This curtain of bangs is not over-the-top and still offers some framing.

Actress Amandla Stenberg is generally a great source of hair inspiration (especially if you have curls over 4B). Here, in particular, she demonstrates how tight curls look on short hair. It's pixie, but with body, dimension, and layers that give it a special shape.

The fashion mullet that Florence Pugh so skillfully pulls off may not be for everyone. But notice how the bangs and front layers add balance, and how the ends are flipped outward to draw the eye downward.

The “all hair stacked on top of the head” updo is perfectly achievable for us heart-shaped people. Instead of balancing the shape of the face, we tilt it inward; like J.L., we follow the shape of the chin up to the top of the head, which gives the bun a defined position.

Ombre is perfect for heart-shaped faces. The transition from darker to lighter colors not only adds cool visual interest, but also creates a more holistic look, starting at the shoulders and ending at the crown of the head. It also stretches very well.

To achieve a rich, thick hairstyle like Naomi Campbell's, work with a skilled stylist (or use wigs or extensions if you're not confident). Here, the overall volume creates an oval hairdo that contrasts with the strong jawline.

Don't sleep on half-up, half-down hairstyles (I promise...). The trick is to wear more hair in the back so that the back doesn't form a triangle, and keep a few strands hanging down in the front. Actress Sadie Sink shows us how.

If you have a lot of hair, layers are the way to go. Here, Billy Eilish's long layers begin around the jawbone and curl to frame the face. If you don't have this kind of volume, extensions may fit the bill.

One of the things I like about Halle Berry is her willingness to experiment with her signature style. This is longer and more voluminous than her trademark pixie, but the curls are beautifully layered. It's almost an “inverted heart” shape, with more volume downwards.

The blunt, jagged cut also looks great. I love Lily Collins' uneven cut. The asymmetry and volume balance each other out, of course, but it's cool and visually interesting.

The heart-shaped face upstyle makes the frame look beautiful. Here, Emily Rutakowski (who we think teamed up to achieve this look as she walked the runway) does not add volume to the top, but instead pulls her hair back at the nape of her neck.

Since Michelle Williams discovered the blonde pixie, it has become one of the most commonly used styles. Notably, there is not much volume. The look is soft, straight, and integrated with her face shape (including pretty, bright colors that are close to her skin tone).

Reese Witherspoon, one of the most iconic celebrities with a heart-shaped face, has always preferred to wear her blonde hair long. When she wears her hair up, she does so wisely along her jawline to the top of her head.

This 70s-style cut by Nicole Richie is iconic for several reasons. First, the bangs make the broad forehead less noticeable. Second, the layers of bangs frame her face beautifully. And third, the longer length helps draw the eye downward. The highlights throughout add body and dimension.

As Lupita Nyongo proves here, a heart-shaped face can absolutely handle shorter cuts. The cut follows the shape of her face, adding a little vertical volume to the top. Such a building cut would require regular grooming, but it creates a gorgeous shape.

Eva Longoria proves that “messy” updos never go out of style (I use the word “messy” in quotation marks because it likely took an enormous amount of work to achieve this). As with the other updos on this list, following the jawline to the crown of the head determines the placement of the ponytail.

If you're like me, you may have been told somewhere that bobs don't look good on heart-shaped people because they only accentuate the facial structure. This bob by Lucy Hale has a little curl at the ends that complements her face shape.

What makes Gemma Chan's hairstyle so great is not just that she uses her natural beauty to her advantage. Long layers add a bit of volume at the bottom, and curls are ironed throughout. The side part gives a beautiful cascading effect on one side of the face.

Bob: Perfect for a heart-shaped face. Kerry Washington's cut is layered throughout and the side part gives the hair a beautiful drape. It is carefully styled on the left side of the face, but would work equally well with the ends curled down.
