Fringes for Heart Shaped Faces

Naomi Campbell

The reason fringes are suited so well to heart shaped faces is because they balance out a top heavy face by hiding your usually wide fore head.

Brow-grazing fringes are a great look on classic heart shapes. Skimming the eyes with a straight fringe will detract attention away from the chin and hide a large forehead whilst bringing out your eyes.

Make sure your fringe is long and skims the brow to achieve this affect.

Choppy or shattered fringes are great for fine hair as they make it appear thicker but also provide an interesting alternative to full fringe that will draw attention straight to the eyes.

If you're not daring enough to plunge straight in for a brow skimming fringe then a sexy sweeping side fringe is a safe option for your heart shaped faces.
