Best Haircuts For A Heart Face (Men)
A heart-shaped face has a wider forehead and cheekbones tapering to a narrower chin. The goal is to avoid adding bulk on top and instead bring a little balance lower down.
Best cuts
Medium-length styles with some fullness around the sides and lower face work well, as do side-swept fringes that soften a broad forehead. Texture beats height here.
What to avoid
Avoid very high-volume styles like tall pompadours that make the top half look heavier and the chin narrower by contrast. Skip severe undercuts with lots of top height.

How to ask your barber
Ask for medium length with texture and a softer fringe rather than big height, and sides that are not shaved too tight. Say you want to balance a wider forehead.
Styling and upkeep
Style with a natural, textured finish rather than slick height. Regular trims keep the fringe and sides in proportion.
