Best Hairstyles for Diamond Face Shape (Women)
A diamond face is narrow at the forehead AND chin, with the widest point at dramatically pronounced cheekbones. The styling goal is to add width at both the forehead (side-swept fringe, curtain bangs) and the chin (chin-length cuts, jaw volume) to balance the dramatic cheekbones. Avoid pulling all hair back (exposes the narrow forehead) and severe center parts (emphasize the diamond outline).

Diamond face shape — frequently asked about hairstyles
- What is the best haircut for a diamond face? +
- A chin-length bob or shoulder-length cut with curtain bangs. The bangs add forehead width; the length adds chin width — both balance the pronounced cheekbones.
- Should diamond faces have center parts? +
- No — center parts emphasize the diamond silhouette by running a line through the widest and narrowest points. Side parts or curtain parts work much better.
