Long Layered Waves
Long layered waves add movement and softness throughout the length, creating an elongated silhouette that flatters a heart-shaped face with a fuller forehead and delicate chin.
Wearing this with a heart face
A heart-shaped face is widest at the forehead and cheekbones, then tapers to a narrow, often pointed chin. The top of the face carries the weight and the jaw is delicate.
Chin-length bobs, side-swept fringe and waves through the ends are useful ideas when you want more activity around the jaw.
Extra crown volume or a very exposed forehead draws the eye upward. Keep it when that emphasis is part of your intended look.
Where should layers begin so the shape works with my hair density, cowlicks and preferred fringe maintenance?

Create soft bends with a wide-barrel wand or round brush, keeping the front pieces directed away from the face. Brush through once cool and finish with flexible spray so the layers keep movement.
