### Heart Face Shapes Wider foreheads and narrower chins are balanced by adding volume to the lower half of the face. Keep front layers slightly longer to fall past the forehead to reduce top-heavy width, style with loose waves concentrated at the ends to add width to the lower face, and avoid heavy volume at the crown that amplifies forehead width. ### Long (Oblong) Face Shapes Long faces need horizontal width to shorten overall appearance. Opt for blunt, chin-length ends to add width, add volume at the sides rather than the crown, use a round brush when blow-drying to curl ends slightly inward toward the face, and avoid long layers that extend past the chin which can elongate the face further. ### Diamond Face Shapes Diamond face shapes have narrow foreheads and chins with wider cheekbones, so balance by adding volume to the top and bottom of the face. Keep front layers shorter to frame the forehead, style with soft tousled waves that add lift at the crown and nape, avoid heavy layers at the cheekbone that emphasize existing width, and use a light texturizing spray at the roots for added lift where needed. ## Texture-Specific Styling Techniques Hair texture plays a key role in how the stacked bob holds its shape. For straight hair, use a flat iron to tuck ends under for a polished finish, or a texturizing spray for a piece-y, modern look that adds dimension to graduated layers. For wavy hair, scrunch in a curl-enhancing cream while damp, then diffuse to enhance natural wave pattern without frizz, which adds soft volume to stacked layers. For curly hair, apply a curl-defining gel to damp hair, then air dry or diffuse to maintain curl shape, and schedule regular trims to avoid bulkiness at the nape. For coily hair, use a moisturizing leave-in conditioner and curl cream to define coils, then shape stacked layers with a pick to add root volume without disrupting the cut’s structured shape.
