The Shape: Heart
The Look: Wide at the temples and narrow at the
jawline with a small, delicate, and sometimes pointed chin. Often a widow’s
peak. Famous Faces: Reese
Witherspoon Hair Do’s: Hopkins: Minimize the width of the
forehead with soft, diagonally angled bangs. Add strength to the chin with blunt
lines, waves, and fullness. Waves or curls that cascade at the temples flatter.
Insider Tip: A great hair product to create curls is Davines No. 9 Spray (apply
before curling hair for “Gisele” waves). Schmidt-Schwab: Light or dark highlights on
jawline to “build out” the face. Hair Don’ts: Hopkins: Wide, blunt bangs cut back
to the temples, extremely tapered shags that might accentuate the heart
shape. Schmidt-Schwab: To avoid emphasizing a short
forehead, do not wear short bangs.
