Haircuts for a heart face

Widest at the forehead, narrowing to a pointed chin.

What balances it

A fringe that sits forward over the forehead, and fullness from the chin down, balance a wide forehead and narrow chin.

What makes the outline stronger

Height and width at the temples, and slicked-back styles, make the forehead look wider. That is a choice, not a mistake: some people want their face shape to stand out.
