Best Hairstyles for a Diamond Face
A diamond face shape has angular, dramatic cheekbones that are wider than both the forehead and jawline. The chin is often pointed, and the forehead is narrow. Hairstyles that add width at the forehead or chin while not adding bulk at the cheekbones create the most flattering look.
