Shape: Heart
How to tell: Wider forehead and narrow chin
What suits your shape: Forget blunt bobs and super-short styles. To flatter a heart-shaped face, Buckett suggests a combination of a side part accented by bangs, and chin-length (or longer) all-over layers. "Adding pieces that hit at the jaw fools the eye into seeing a more oval shape instead of a pointy chin," he says.
Heart-shaped stars:
Long: Reese Witherspoon
Side-swept, fringy bangs with a side part and flowing layers
Medium: Christina Ricci
Eye-skimming, soft bangs with face-framing, long layers
Short: Jenny McCarthy
A deep side part that sweeps hair across the forehead, combined with choppy, chin-length layers

I love how they just skimped out on the oval shape - Yay, you can do whatever you want.

What about the diamond shape face? Which is what I have. Much more angular than an oval.

The face shapes have been misidentified so many times on the stars. While the advice in the article is good, the illustrations are not.

Medium hair face is not square. Check out the chin.

Good article, but could have done with a little more in-depth advice.

somewhat helpful - would've been nice to know what styles to avoid too.

I'm an oval too and short hair looked awful on me. I wish this article would have something different than I've read before.
