Thus, the main task for owners of the diamond face shape is to expand the forehead and narrow the cheekbones visually to get closer to an oval face shape. Here are the flattering haircuts and hairstyles that will help you achieve this effect.

What Hairstyles Flatter Diamond Shaped Faces?

As mentioned, the narrow jawline and forehead are the most distinguishing features of the diamond face shape. Gather your hair and bangs into a bundle to determine what face shape you have.

If you have confirmed that you own a diamond shaped face, you may want to correct it by visually narrowing the prominent cheekbones and adding width at the chin area. At the same time, you should also avoid accentuating the pointed and often uneven hairline. Here are useful ideas that will help to play around with the best features of diamond shaped faces.

#1: Long Bob with Deep Side Parting

A long bob is all about femininity and elegance and looks great with either middle or side parting. However, if you have a diamond face shape with a narrow forehead, push hair to one side. Side-swept bangs will conceal the wider cheekbones and draw attention to the eyes.
