25 Adorable Hairstyles for Diamond Shaped Faces

The diamond-shaped face has a pointed chin, a conical forehead, and wider high cheekbones. Thus, the main task for its owners is to expand the forehead and narrow the cheekbones visually to get closer to an oval face shape. Here are the flattering haircuts for diamond-shaped faces 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. To balance the features, your hairstyle should be visually narrowing the prominent cheekbones and adding width at the chin area. At the same time, you should avoid accentuating the pointed and often uneven hairline. Here are useful ideas that will help to play around with face proportions.

1. Blunt Lob 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.

2. Loose Waves with Curtain Bangs

Let your luscious long hair hang loosely over your shoulders and compliment it with trendy curtain bangs or face-framing layers. Bottleneck bangs will help you visually elongate your face, using the facial features to your advantage.

3. Long Pixie with a Quiff

This bleached short hair is the ultimate fashion statement and it flatters diamond face shapes perfectly, as the top of your face and eye area become a focal point. A torn haircut with oblique bangs is an ideal option for those who like running hands through their hair.

4. Curly Bob with Bangs

For curly hair and a diamond shaped face, mid-length bob with curly bangs is a perfect solution. The haircut can be used to correct both high and low foreheads. Large curls add volume and puffiness to the temples and add sophistication to the features.

6. Textured Pixie

7. French Bob with Short Wispy Bangs

A chin-length rounded bob widens a narrow chin and creates width and necessary volume below the protruding cheekbones. Wispy blunt bangs are perfectly on point, too.

8. Bixie with Bangs

Trying to hide angular features should not make you refuse from short hair trends, bixie being one of them. Wispy bangs and layering at the sides is one love.

9. Face-Framing Layers

Long layers are one of the best tools hairdressers use for face framing and placing the right accents in diamond shaped faces. Add face-framing highlights and flick hair ends for a knock-down look.

10. Octopus Cut with Side-Swept Bangs

Asymmetry always attracts attention and may even look provocative. Still, it can be used to balance the gorgeous cheekbones and bring focus to the upper part of your diamond face shape.

11. Long Flowing Waves

Long hair is rarely used to correct the face shape, styling some excellent waves and adding a perfect color will definitely do the trick. Layering is also a great thing to consider when selecting a haircut for wide cheekbones and a pointy chin.

12. Middle-Part Bob

Chin length bob is one of the best hairstyles for diamond shaped faces, as strands that end near your chin will definitely make it look wider. Blow dry the front layers of your short bob as curtain bangs to get that smart bend framing the face.

13. Messy Bob with Side Bangs

Side-swept bangs work great for creating flattering asymmetry for your face shape. Make sure it is slightly shorter or longer than your cheekbones. If your hair is on the thin side, go for a tousled look.

14. Cascading Waves

If you have super thick hair, avoid getting too much volume near your face. The best idea is to get some layers in your long hair and curl a soft body wave, creating a real head-turner – a butterfly cut.

15. Long Pixie with Eye-Skimming Bangs

The haircut does away with the narrow forehead of this diamond shaped face and makes bigger cheekbones look really beautiful. The hairdresser has been a real master to create such an excellent shape in thick straight hair.

16. ’70s Wedge Haircut

French bob is high in trend now, and this wedge cut is among the best styles for those with a diamond face. If your hair is thick, opt for feathered ends to make side-swept bangs more lightweight.

17. Subtle Layers and Arched Bangs

Hair length below the shoulders is ok for a diamond face shape, but take care to style a soft fringe or long layers towards the front to balance out the forehead and the chin. This hairstyle will also be great for a heart shaped face.

18. Long Feathered Cut with Full Bangs

Play around with your diamond shape face with soft curls and blunt bangs that get your eyes into the spotlight. These caramel highlights are the ones to die for too!

19. Pixie Bob with Curtain Bangs

If you have a diamond face shape, you don’t always have to shy away from your amazing cheekbones. A bixie cut can give your cheeks due attention but also take the focus away from a pointed chin. If you want to expose some forehead, part hair slightly to one side, not directly under your chin.

20. Wavy Textured Lob

Messy shoulder-length hair perfectly enhances the chin area. The look is feminine and stylish, especially if you add some styling mouse of salt spray for a rougher texture.

21. Twist Out Curls

Uniform and dynamic, twist-out curls may give you just the right volume at the top. Make a deep side part and let the curly side bangs do some face contouring.

22. Chin-Length Bob with a Thin Fringe

Slightly angled, blunt bob cuts make an excellent option for your diamond face. Complement it with thin bangs to hide the uneven hairline and balance out a chiseled chin. This cut is perfectly styled with a flat iron: strands are curled in different directions, and the ends are strengthened.

@aerielengland

23. Neck-Length Layered Waves

If you have a diamond face shape and want to style a middle parting, make it less regular to avoid accentuating the angular features of this face shape. Get some sassy waves and elaborate balayage to add visual interest to your cut.

24. Curly Shaggy Bob

Curly shag haircuts flatter diamond shaped faces like no other, since layers in the front reduce the volume around the cheekbones, while the bang help to correct the forehead shape. Whether you have natural curls or opt for modern perms, it is sure to be a great idea for your appearance.

@ruteboazhair

25. Choppy Bob with Blunt Bangs

Blunt or arched bangs are both good options for covering a narrow hairline of a diamond shape or a broad forehead of the heart shaped face. However, the blunt line may underline a sharp bone structure, so you’d better keep the rest of your hair tousled rather than pin-straight.

@omundoporcami

We hope these hairstyles have become a good inspiration for you! If you still need to see some examples, pay attention to celebrities with diamond-shaped faces who have narrow foreheads and chins that are about the same width. You can safely follow the lead because stylists spend much time and effort creating flattering styles for these fashion icons.
