It’s a legitimate demand: “Make me look thinner.” You are sitting in a salon chair wearing a brown smock and looking at your hairstylist in the mirror. Why shouldn’t this hairstylist with the cutting shears and comb have the capability to change your face’s appearance from round and plump to slim and long, as all movie celebrities?
It is all doable. It’s true that some hairstyles make your face appear thinner and certain hairstyles will make your face appear more round. We’ll provide you with hairstyles that are don’ts and dos in the following.
The bob haircut will never go out of fashion. However, only those with specific face shapes can pull off this haircut. In the event that you’ve read this article, you maybe having a rounder face shape so we’d recommend you to avoid this particular haircut. And the reason is:
If you’re looking for your face to appear slender and slimmer, putting on a haircut which frames the face is sure to bring more attention to the roundness of the face. Additionally, if you’ve got a double-chin that you would prefer to conceal, but by wearing a chin-length bob, it will draw even more attention towards the problem area. Chin-length bobs are also known to increase the volume of both sides of the head, and make your face appear wider. Instead, you may consider the longer hairstyle that lengthens your face, or lift your bob up above your chin to draw attention upwards.
The DOS
1: Do: Highlights
The addition of pops of color to almost everything is always a great idea and hair isn’t any different. We’re obviously not talking about funky stripes of hot pink in your hair, however, some natural highlights are a nice complement to any face, so long they’re not too obvious and more subtle.
The addition of highlights to your hair will have a brightening effect on your face and give it a more youthful and slimmer appearance. Besides, the contrast of dark and light shades in the hair resembles stripes. The vertical stripes draw the eyes upwards and downwards and make your appearance appear more slender and slimmer. If your hair appears dull or flat, highlights will give your locks shine and volume and that’s always a positive thing.
2: Do: Quality Product
The more volume you have in your hair tends to make your face look smaller than it actually is and this is usually attained through the use of hair products. If you choose a top quality hair product, naturally you’ll achieve top-quality results. Make sure to use the high-quality shampoos, pomades and creams to ensure that the hairstyle for face slimming can stay for as long as you’d like it to. Keep in mind that the word “quality” doesn’t necessarily mean costly. Check out magazines for fashion to determine what products offer the best bang and value for your dollar.
3: Do: Asymmetrical Bob
We’ve said before that you shouldn’t wear the bob haircut however that was referring to the blunt bob haircut which ends horizontally right on the chin line. Asymmetrical bobs, contrary to what you might think, can provide an extremely flattering appearance. The reason is that Asymmetrical bob is not just being super-chic (just check out Anna Wintour) — but it’s also simple to keep and maintain. Asymmetrical bobs are shorter at the back it then slants down and gets longer in front. The cut should begin at the back, around the neck’s nape and finish in front, two to three inches below your chin. It makes the neck appear longer as well as the face will also appear longer too. It’s a great match with some hair that is swept sideways and you’ll be on Vogue’s pages within a short time.
4: Do: Layers
Everyone is able to wear layers and get good results. For people with round faces, hair layering is a simple way to smoothen the curves. If your hair is all just one length, it has a tendency to create a fuller look to the face. Adding layers close to the cheekbone’s line can highlight the bone structure. If you have flat or thin hair, layers will also give an extra increase in movement and volume.
However, ensure that you keep your hair from poofing out on the sides since it adds the width of your face. We suggest a haircut with longer layers that extends beyond the chin to get the best look.
5: Do: Play the Part
Many hairstylists will urge you to stick to your natural parting and that’s the place where your hair will fall by itself naturally. However, you don’t need to, if you discover an alternative look that works for you. If, for instance, if you have a face of heart shape, do not opt for a centre parting because it can make your face appear even rounder. If you have an oval face, you might want to try a side part. You can sweep your bangs or other longer layers to your side diagonally. This softens and breaks up the appearance of a round face as well as it can also enhance the cheekbones. If you’re trying to add volume and height to your hair to increase the length of your face, try to part your hair on the opposite side of your normal part.
6: Do: Long Shag
The long shag seems to be the preferred haircut for those with round faces. Longer hair lengths (try to go for shoulders length or longer) draws the eye downwards and makes the appearance of the face to be thinner. The layers tend to soften the look while creating the appearance of a more feminine and younger appearance. Ensure that your bangs are angled but not overly thick. The wispy side swept bangs could reduce the appearance of a wide forehead. Layers on the top of the head can help to increase volume and your friends will get the illusion of you having a slimmer and longer face.
The DON’TS
1: Don’t: Super-Short Cut
If you’re having a narrow, petite and thin face, longer hair could overwhelm your face, thus it’s better to choose a shorter haircut to emphasize your face features. However, if you have a rounder and bigger face, a haircut that is too short could backfire. It is possible to cut it a bit shorter but you should be careful. Consider layers and volume on top of your head. This can draw the eyes upwards, which is another trick to make your face look slimmer. If you’re planning to have your hair go shorter, please make sure that your haircut doesn’t end directly at the chin. Cut it a bit shorter or a bit longer. We love a short layer haircut that wraps the head tightly to the cheeks and ears (the widest area on the face) and adds a little height at the top. It’s a great, flattering haircut.
2: Don’t: Blunt Bangs
Straight-cut, heavy hairstyles might seem trendy however they don’t exactly lengthen your face. Blunt bangs are like drawing a line across your entire face that will result in your face appearing wider and shorter. Therefore, if you’ve got a round face, you should stay away from this style.
If you really have to wear heaving straight bangs to ensure that you’ve got some height above your head. This isn’t talking about Snooki of “Jersey Shore ” or anything, however a bit of volume on top of your head can give the appearance of longer facial features. You can also ask your hairstylist to cut bangs with a side swept bang or a more relaxed or softer bang style.
3: Don’t: Stick Straight Hair
Sleek straight hair may be fashionable but If you don’t have a slim, long and oval-shaped face, then the flat iron will not be your friend anymore. Long hair that falls straight down and stays close to your head could actually make your head appear smaller and your face will tend to look “heavier”. We’ve already mentioned that adding volume in the ideal places is essential to avoid a face that looks “heavy”. You can still get the length you want by adding more layers or volume and perhaps even some highlights on the hair.
