You are a Heart or V-Triangleface shape if your forehead is the widest part of your face then slopes down to a narrower jaw line and chin. The difference between the two is the angular or rounded nature of the jaw and chin.
You are a Heart shape if your jawline and chin are rounded and soft. You may also have a Widow’s Peak as shown in the top photo above of actress Alyson Hannigan.
Conversely, your face is a V-Triangle shape if your jawline and chin are angular, as in the above photo of actress Reese Witherspoon.

Long narrow wavy locks or straight sleek shapes are great for this shape. Side parts and side swept hair, like Julia Roberts, also have the perfect narrowing affect. We love fringe on heart shaped faces (as long as they are not rounded to the cheekbone!).
Triangular face shapes are highlighted by a prominent jawline and a comparably narrow forehead. The best styles for this face shape tend to be those that add volume and height through the top to even this out. “Quiffs, side parts, and pompadours will all do the trick perfectly.”
What to avoid: Never—we repeat never—ask for short bangs or excessive short layering. Those styles will only accentuate the wider top half of a heart-shaped face.
