The defined cheekbones are the most outstanding feature of the diamond-shaped face. Here are 25 hairstyle ideas to flatter them:

1. Curly Bob with Bangs

Any style with bangs is an excellent choice for women with diamond face shapes. A curly bob with bangs will be amazing. Not just because it will create a balance, but because it will complement your high cheekbones.

So, if you have curly hair, no need to straighten it. Here's a style you can rock beautifully.

2. Elaborate Bun

Vanessa Hudgens’ elaborate bun is a great example that you can put your features on display and look as gorgeous as ever. The style enhanced her features, adding to her charm.

3. Bob with Side-swept Bangs

A great benefit of side-swept bangs is their ability to create the illusion of a narrower forehead while hiding a little part of your cheeks. Well, that's exactly what it does here.

Eiza González had a short bob with bangs to frame her diamond face shape. It drew attention away from a particular feature and harmonized her overall features.

4. Long Braids

Tracee Ellis Ross is another actress with a diamond face shape. She wore long braids here, letting all her hair go to the back by braiding.

This is an inspo. So, if you're still doubting if you can wear an all-back braids style, here's proof, and it looks gorgeous.

5. Long Hair with Center Part

Naomi Campbell's long hair is as sleek as it can be. The smooth, flowing long hair can be good for framing the sides of your face, even though short hairstyles are usually recommended for women with diamond face shapes. Get your straightener and create that sleek look. Make sure to use a heat protectant before you begin styling.

6. Megan Fox Layered Hair

Layered haircuts are another go-to style for those with diamond face shapes. This is because they add texture and movement to the hair. I love how Megan went for that here instead of volume. The style balanced out her prominent cheekbones, creating the perfect illusion she needed.

7. Swept-Back Bixie

If you're looking for a fashion statement that will flatter and soften your features, check out this swept-back bixie worn by Rosario Dawson.

Bixie is a mixture of the pixie cut and bob.

The look revealed her face, drawing attention to her forehead by giving her an illusion of width. It resulted in creating the perfect balance to her angular features.

8. Tousled Wolf Cut

Take my word for it, a wolf cut can beautifully complement the features of a diamond face shape.

Remember that a diamond face shape is characterized by its pointed chin and narrow forehead. Well, a wolf cut takes the attention away from these features and puts it on your cheekbones, making you look cooler.

9. Long Flowing Waves

Long flowing waves create texture and movement in your hair, which is the best thing you need. They can help soften your features and create the illusion of width where it is important.

I would recommend you try different long flowing hairstyles with waves for a flattering look. You can choose a middle part, a side part, or no part at all.

10. Ponytail with Flipped Ends

Jennifer Lopez went for a ponytail look with flipped ends to keep her features on display. The flipped ends ensured that the focus isn't just on a particular feature, though I'm sure we all couldn't help but stare at her lovely cheekbones from time to time.

11. Textured Pixie

Another haircut that is as lovely on a diamond face shape is the textured pixie. It's a classy yet fun look that puts the focus on the top of your head and eye area rather than on your chin. This is an ideal choice for women who want a simple look that is easy to manage.

12. French Bob with Short Wispy Bangs

Do you know that the bob is considered a top choice for diamond face shape?

As much as I'll advise you to try out any look that makes you feel good, if you're looking for a safe option, a French bob with wispy bangs is “that” look. It adds width to your narrow chin and gives your cheekbones that same illusion.

13. Chignon with Bangs

Halle Berry softened her forehead and made her cheekbones the focal point with her chignon with bangs hairstyle. You can go for a lot of volume to flatter your features even better.  

14. Side Part with Wavy Hair

Vanessa Hudgens had wavy hair on this occasion, and it's as chic as you would imagine. The golden brown highlights, bob length, and side part created the necessary volume needed around her cheekbones, forehead, and chin area for a more balanced look. I would advise that you make it as messy as she did for a playful style.

15. Curly Lob with Bangs

Who rocks curly hairstyles better than Tracee Ellis Ross? The 53-year-old American actress slayed a curly lob with bangs to flatter her diamond face shape. The length was pure perfection (oh, yeah), and the bangs were at the right length, revealing her face and gorgeous makeup.  

16. Face Framing Layers

Diamond face shapes require styling techniques to create a balance visually. One of those techniques that can help soften your features is face-framing layers.

You can place them strategically around your face to share the volume and not emphasize a certain part of your face. This adds movement, giving you a natural-looking style.

17. Low Bun with Deep Side Bangs

This is one of the best looks for a diamond face shape.

Like other bang styles, the deep side bangs soften your face and reduce your forehead. It draws attention away from your chin and places it on your eyes. You can pair it with a low bun, like in the image above, or leave your hair flowy.

18. Long Pixie with Eye-Skimming Bangs

Elevate your look with the long pixie style. It's a great look to achieve a narrower forehead while revealing your cheekbones. Though this is a low-maintenance style, you will need to visit your stylist often for trimming.

19. Twist Out Curls

As you might already know, volume is a friend of the diamond face shape because a voluminous hairstyle will never go wrong.

Create a twist-out style to achieve a more flattering frame for your face. You can wash and twist your hair the same day so it soaks in all the moisture. And the following day, loosen the twists (don't forget to use a hair serum or lightweight oil when loosening), then style.

20. Low Bun

Scarlett Johansson looks amazing in a low bun. This is one of the easy styles you can create within a few minutes. All you need to achieve the style is a brush, gel, your bow, a few pins, and a rattail comb.

21. Neck-Length Layered Waves

Don't want to accentuate your diamond face shape features even further? Don't worry, just go for a neck-length layered waves style. The waves will add more movement to your hair and make your haircut gorgeous. From time to time, you can switch up how your waves look using your curler.

22. Short Hair with Bangs

Brandy Norwood, the American songwriter, has an inspo for you, and it's short hair with bangs. This bob adds a lot of volume to your chin, while the bangs balance out the forehead.

23. Shaggy Haircut

A shaggy cut takes the focus away from your forehead and places it on your chin. The beautiful thing about this haircut is that it also gives the right volume around your cheekbones. Since a shaggy cut never misses, you don't want to miss out on it, too (smiles).

24. Long Curls with Side Part

Do you have full, lengthy curly hair? Flaunt them like Camila Alves McConaughey.  The Brazilian model and designer didn't settle for less with her full curly hair. She wore them beautifully, creating a no-part look that complements her diamond face shape.

25. French Twist

If you have a diamond face shape, you don't always have to hide your features. A hairstyle that will not only place attention on them but also flatter them is a French twist.

loved this hairstyle on Megan Fox, and I'm sure it'll look good on you, too. So, next time you think of just throwing your hair into a ponytail, consider going for a French Twist for a fabulous style.
