Haircuts for diamond faces: 10 cuts that balance wide cheekbones
A diamond face has wide cheekbones with a narrow forehead and a narrow, pointed jaw. The haircuts that suit it add width at the forehead and the jaw — fringes, chin-length bobs with side-swept bangs, curtain bangs with layers below the chin. Avoid volume at the cheekbones and slicking hair back with no fringe.

Haircuts to avoid with a diamond face
Slicked back with no fringe
Shows a narrow forehead and makes the cheekbones the only wide point.
Volume at the cheekbones
Curls or layers that stick out at cheek level widen the widest part.
Fringes and width for a diamond face
Widen the top with a fringe. Full, side-swept or curtain bangs — or for men, hair brought forward — add width at a narrow forehead.
Widen the bottom at the chin. Bobs that end at the chin with soft volume, waves that start at the jaw, or a short boxed beard fill in a narrow jaw.
Keep the cheekbones calm. Volume, curls or layers that stick out at cheek level make the widest part wider. Tucking one side behind the ear is a good way to show the cheekbones without adding width.
