Many of us dream of having a slimmer face or a different face cut. However, the harsh truth is that exercising and dieting in the hopes of changing your face shape is a task that will never reach fruition. If you’re looking for an easy and quick way to look slimmer without losing a pound, we have eleven celebrity-approved and tried hairstyles that could make you look incredible! There are a vast array of hairstyles and haircuts that you can choose from. It’s a good idea to do your own research before you hit the salon. While we don’t deny that your hairstylist can suggest a great hairstyle or haircut, it’s always great to have a few references! Those with round faces know that it is pretty challenging to find hairstyles and haircuts that flatter your face. So here are eleven hairstyles that will work wonders to make someone appear slimmer:
1. Rihanna’s Curtain Bangs
Rihanna is known for rocking plenty of interesting hairstyles and hair colors over the years. We love her curtain bangs look as they are soft, swooping, and frame her face incredibly well. Ask your stylist for a fringe that softly opens up around the tail of your brow for an effect that elongates your eyes.
2. Taylor Swift’s Full Fringe
Those who have an oval shape genuinely are the luckiest of the face shapes. Oval-faced people can carry off almost every different type of hairstyle that is out there. We have to say that Taylor rocks the full fringe, and the lob (long bob) incredibly well. A full fringe is a great way to mask a larger-than-life forehead (or fivehead as we love to call them). Adding longer layers towards the sides of the fringe is a great way to accentuate features like full lips and high cheekbones.
3. Ruby Rose’s Pixie Cut
Heart-shaped faces too can have their cake and eat it too! One of the sleekest and most flattering haircuts for heart-shaped faces is the pixie cut. We love the way Ruby Rose carries off the haircut with such a unique twist. Add a little textured side bang to slim your forehead area and balance out your face.
4. Gabrielle Union’s Shaggy Layers
As we had mentioned earlier, adding volume and width to your hair can help balance out your face’s shape. Adding shaggy layers to your hair is a great way to do this. Make sure you use different styling products like hairspray or dry shampoo to add texture and body to your locks.
5. Ariana Grande’s High Ponytail
While it may seem quite counterintuitive to bring all of your hair up, this hairstyle can actually make your face appear a lot slimmer. Ariana Grande’s classic hairstyle can help elevate your look to another level and make your face look smaller and angular. Make sure that you angle your high ponytail with your cheekbone or top of your ear. This can help create a clear symmetrical line and will give you an uplifted effect.
6. Priyanka’s Face Framing Layers
A hairstyle that frames your face is one of the best and most flattering haircuts that would work on any type of face. Ask your hairstylist to frame your layers and follow the contours of your jawline and cheekbone. This will give you an instant contoured look on your face.
7. Jennifer Lopez’s Messy Ponytail
The biggest myth out there is that full faces cannot pull off a ponytail. While it is true that slicked back, and straight ponytails can exaggerate certain round features, they can also be highly flattering when done right. Add a gently teased wavy texture to your hair by using a volumizing dry shampoo. Finish off your hair with some hair mist to keep all of it in place.
8. Taraji P Henson’s Layered Bob
Taraji P Henson shows us how to rock a layered bob while still looking striking and feminine. Style your hair with texture to add width and volume to a long face shape—amp up the volume with a special volumizing spray.
9. Zendaya’s Side Part
If you want to see an instant slimming effect on your face without professional help, you could try out a deep side part. Line the party with the tailor arch of your brows and slick the lighter side of your hair behind your ear. Use a lightweight hair spray to see instant softening of your hair and a slight lift to your hairline.
10. Beyonce’s Hair Extensions
The easiest way to make your face look slimmer is by adding extensions and volume to your hair. We think Beyonce looks incredible with short hair, but long thick hair is her signature look, and she amplifies her natural hair by wearing thick hair extensions. So consider buying good-quality hair extensions to look slimmer!
11. Blake Lively’s Voluminous Waves
The key to softening a wider or longer face is to add voluminous waves to it. Waves are universally flattering, and we love Blake’s “just woke up at the beach” waves. If you want your face to look slim, consider adding as much volume and body to your hair as you can.
No matter what the shape of your face is, we guarantee that there is a hairstyle or haircut out there that would work perfectly on you! Do check out the hairstyles on this list and let us know in the comment section down below if it worked well for you!
