This face shape is also called oblong and it's often confused with the oval shape, but it's usually not as wide. Bova recommends rectangular faces give bangs a try. Papanikolas advises against short haircuts as long and narrow faces benefit from lengths that add overall volume (and some interest) at the jawline.

Those born with this face shape (very similar to an inverted-triangle) are ideal candidates for bob haircuts which help soften and slim down any strong features.
"I love a bob haircut for summer on my clients with heart-shaped faces," says Tina Malhotra, an expert stylist at L'Appartement Salon in New York City. "One of my favorite lengths for this face shape is when it grazes the collarbone or just above, especially for fine hair."
Papanikolas also notes that heavy bangs can be very flattering for a heart-shaped face, especially since they can decrease the width of the forehead and increase the width of the lower part of the face, which can help give your face a more proportionate look.
