Low bun
Be it for work or date night, this effortless and pretty looking centre-parted low bun takes the cake. It breaks the roundness and shadow of your face and gives an illusion of sharpness. Start by parting your hair at the centre, loosely tie your hair at the back in a low bun and pull out pieces around the face to soften the look.

Voluminous top knot
A voluminous top knot creates a vertical illusion by lengthening your face and giving it a slimming effect. Any hairstyle that helps your face achieve height and volume is your go-to and you should learn it right away! Tease the crown area to add volume then grab all your hair into a top knot and securing with bobby pins to get the look.

Straight hair + middle parting
Kriti Sanon’s signature hairstyle is another simple and great hairstyle that can make your face look slimmer. Get your straightener and start by straightening your hair. Part it at the centre and let it fall naturally to add definition to your face.

Side swept long curls
Curls can help frame your face. The longer and tighter your curls, the longer your face will appear. You can also ask the hairstylist to give it layers that start below your chin and angled outwards.

High ponytail
High ponytail adds impeccable definition to the face, no wonder it is the go-to hairstyle for most celebrities. It elongates the whole face and highlights your cheekbones, giving your face a slimmer and sleeker look. Apply hair gel or hair spray and pull your hair up into a high, tight ponytail. Mist with a light hairspray to tame flyaways.
