Best men's hairstyles for a heart face.
If your face reads heart, these are the cuts that balance it. Each one links through to a full guide with barber instructions and styling steps.
Bro Flow
The bro flow is medium-length hair grown out and pushed straight back, with no hard parting. It falls loosely behind the ears and curls slightly at the neck.
Brush Back
A brush back sweeps all the hair on top backwards, away from the forehead, with no part and no shine. It is the matte, textured cousin of the slick back. How much lift you build at the front decides whether you are wearing the loose, the short or the voluminous version.
Curtains
Curtains are medium-length hair with a middle or off-centre parting, so the front falls in two soft panels on either side of the forehead. The length usually reaches the eyebrows, and on longer versions the cheekbones.
Fringe
A fringe is a haircut where the front hair is left longer than the sides and worn over your forehead, across it, or pushed back off it. It is one of the easiest ways to change the shape of your face, and there are five main versions to choose from.
Medium Curly Layers
Medium curly layers keep your natural curl at around four to six inches, with layers cut in to remove bulk and let each curl form its own shape. The result is height and movement instead of a heavy triangle.
Pompadour Fade Haircut
A pompadour fade pairs a high-volume top swept up and back with sides faded down to short or skin length. Here's how to choose the fade height, ask your barber, and style it.
Quiff
A quiff is a haircut where the front section of hair is lifted up and slightly back, while the sides stay short. It is softer and more casual than a pompadour, and it comes in five main versions depending on how much height and texture you want.
Shag
The shag is a medium-length cut built from choppy layers, shortest near the crown and longest at the back, with a soft fringe at the front. It is meant to look lived-in rather than groomed.
Side Part
A side part is a short cut with a defined parting on one side and the top combed across. It is the standard office haircut in India: clean, neat and hard to get wrong. It works on almost every face shape and is one of the few cuts that genuinely helps thin hair.
Textured Crop
A textured crop is a short haircut with a choppy, uneven top worn forward as a small fringe. The texture is cut into the hair, so it looks messy on purpose. It is one of the easiest cuts to live with on thick Indian hair.
