Celebrity Hair Styles - Suiting Heart-Shaped Faces

Features - Hearts are similar to round faces except they have high cheekbones, that are slightly wider than the forehead. Foreheads are usually quite high, and the face ends in a pointed chin or narrow jaw-line. Hearts also have cute cherubic cheeks when they smile.

Famous Hearts - Reese Witherspoon is a classic heart shape, Nicole Richie

Things to Try - Side partings; Sweeping fringes/bangs; Jaw-length bob; Face framing layers

Things to Avoid - Flat hair with a centre parting - has a totally widening effect on the face

Check the guides below for some perfect for heart-shaped faces hair styles

 

The Look - Gamine Crop

Why this style works - Like CareyIt covers the heart's high forehead, and leaves the fab high cheekbones and sculpted chin on show.

Seen On - Emma Watson and Carey Mulligan

If you're confident enough to go for a crop, take a picture of the style you want to show your hairdresser exactly what you're looking for.

When it comes to styling, blow-dry the hair forward at the front and down at the sides with the nozzle pointing down to keep the hair flat rather that sticking up.

Emma's hair has shine and sleekness yet doesn't look hard or wet to the touch.  To achieve this look apply a product such as Umberto Giannini Sleek and Chic Serum Gloss.

For Carey's look apply a little texturisizing spray and blow-dry flat with a paddle brush.

You can also smooth down any unruly or fly-away hairs dabbing them down with just a touch of hairspray.

The Look - Chic Bob

Why it Works - These are perfect for turning heart shapes into a highly-desirable oval shape.

Seen On - Most stars have rocked a bob at one time or another.

Best for - If you're going chic, straight hair is a must but bobs look great with waves too (check out some mussy bobs below).

To style a perfect bob requires blow-drying for ultra slickness and a non-frizzy finish, plus a little volume boost at the roots.

When your hair is damp, apply a little volumising mousse into the roots using your fingers, then blow-dry using a round brush to create volume and use turn the ends in ever so slightly.

Once dry, finish with a spritz of shine spray.

The Look - Touseled Bob

Why it Works - As mentioned above, bobs bring an oval-shaped illusion to heart-shaped faces.  Waves also help soften strong cheekbones and jaw lines.

Good For- People with naturally curly hair, thick or wavy hair.

To get this look you'll have to go to the hairdressers and get a layered bob; the layers will maximize volume and texture.

Once washed a short blast with the hair dryer is all it needs. If you want a more choppy finish get some flat heated irons, such as Morphy Richards Mark hill Kick It, to break up the ends of the hair and make it kick out like Keira's.

Follow with some John Freida Tousled Tresses Texturizer, a texturising wax in fab mist form, which will create a broken up piecy finish.

Some more great bob styles for heart shaped face -

For Selita's flirty style, start by applying a good about of volumizing mousse to damp hair.

Blow-dry using a large round brush, pulling the brush up and out from the face for the lengths then flicking the hair out at the ends.

Create a side parting and back comb the the roots of it going off into each direction for Selita's volumous look.

Finish with a good mist of volume hairspray - don't use too much though; this look shouldn't be rock hard - it's all about movement.

For Hayley's cute retro curls, work a little mousse into wet hair then blow-dry.

Create a deep side-parting, and use some medium-barrel curling irons to go around the entire head, creating curls up to about forehead height.

Hold the barrel vertically so the curls tumble down.

Finish with a hair slide to suit your style and lightly mist with hairspray for extra hold.

The Look - Flirty, volumous ponytail

Why It Works - The long bangs hide a wide foreheart and soften bold cheekbones while the cute heart chin is still exposed.

Seen On - Emma Stone rocked the look at the Captain America premiere in July 2011

For this gorgeous look, your hair needs to have a lot of volume.  Apply to volumizing mousse while it's wet then blow-dry using a large round brush.

Use the brush to section of the hair at the front, and add some waves to the length at the back.

Once dry, back-comb the hair behind the front section, giving it some oomph. before securing into a high ponytail at the back.

 

For an extra flirty touch, use some curling irons to add a little extra kick to the loose sections at the front.

Finish with some strong-hold hairspray - especially on the volumized section - try to leave the ponytail and loose tendrils free though, as they should have a little movement.

The Look - Sweet, Plaited Up-Do

Why It Works - The loose tendrils at the front are key as they soften the cheekbones; this look would proably be too harsh for heart-shapes otherwise.

Needs - Hair that isn't freshly washed; and long hair, unless following version 2.

Create a centre parting, and pull your hair back, leaving some optional face-framing tendrils at the front.

Collect the hair at the back into a ponytail, slightly to one side of the nape, and plait it into a loose braid, securing at the end with a transparent band.

With the braid complete, wrap it up over the head, pinning into the scalp with bobby pins as you go.

Version 2 - Buy a thick braided headband, such as the Sephora Collection Thick Braided Headband, and pin it to you head the same way as you'd pin up a real one, putting your own hair into a bun at the back.

The Look - Long Side-Sweeping Bangs

Seen On - Lea Michele and Taylor Momsen to name but a few

Why It Works - The fringe helps to disguise the heart's often high, wide foreheads.

To wear the look sleek and glossy like Lea, begin by applying some frizz-ease serum to freshly washed and still damp hair.

Blow-dry using a large paddle brush.  When completely dry if you have any kinks left, run some straighteners over them - this will help add shine too.

To style, create a side parting then adjust your fringe or layers, leaving one eye sexily peeking from below.

Finish with some hairspray, again to add shine, and to reduce frizz or flyaways.

For Taylor Momsen's rock chick style, hairstylist Fred Vandebunt told Teen Vogue -

" I don't actually use a lot of product! I style it with heat and let it cool down to set it. For Taylor, I sometimes put a little Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray on the roots to give it a little lift, seal the ends with some silicone, and I might use some Elnett Hairspray to keep it all together."

The tools he uses - "blow-dryer, round brush, curling irons, wave iron, straightener, and hands."

He also says when you what a certain style : "bring pictures!! A picture says more than a two-hour conversation. That still doesn't make it a rocker haircut though. You need to style it as a rocker too."

Why It Works - Reese is a classic heart and this hairsyle worked perfectly on her, the fringe covering her forehead and the shorter layers skimming over her wide cheekbones.

Seen At - The 2007 Academy Awards

To get this look, you need to start with a cut that has long layers and some shorter ones to frame the face, plus a long fringe. Get a picture of Reese our print our one out to take to the hairdressers so they know exactly what type of look you're going for.

When you're styling your hair, apply some serum after you've washed it and blow-dry with a large round brush.

When you've done all your locks you might want to use some straighteners and go over the ends with them, to ensure your look is totally sleek.
