Face-framing layers and highlights softly highlight your facial features without making your jawline appear wider. The layers help draw attention to and complement the jawline, creating a balanced and harmonious appearance.

Determining whether your jawline is soft or angular is an essential step in understanding your facial features and choosing hairstyles that complement your face shape. So, for example, angular jawlines like this can be softened with longer layered styles like the one made by Dougllas Dias from The Art Salon.

In this style, Rashid Salmani keeps the hair loose and wavy and strategically places layers to frame his client’s triangular face. The walnut brown hue also adds “a touch of warmth and a dash of sophistication” and a center part serves to enhance the radiance of the hair color.

Curled curtain bangs, seamlessly blended into face-framing pieces, can be quite flattering for faces with wider cheekbones and a broad jawline. This hairstyle helps to diminish the width of the upper half of your face and complement your features.
