This will option will elongate oval shapes.
Aimee Teegarden (star of Friday Night Lights) and Scarlett Johansson both have heart shaped faces. Girls with this sweet shape should opt for wispy bangs with an off-center part. Stay away from thick, blunt bangs that cut straight across. These styles will emphasize a heart shape’s wider forehead.
