These clever haircuts can help create the illusion of a more defined, angular look, helping you feel more confident about your facial features. Choosing the right hairstyle can be a game changer. In reality the possibilities are endless. From hairstyles that can elongate facial features to adding balance; with the right amount of volume and detail, certain hairstyles can add a slimming effect to the face.
01Ponytail, But Make it Textured
A ponytail hairstyle will create a lifted look as it pulls the face upwards. Whether it is high or mid, sleek or textured, this hairstyle will give the illusion of a slim face. A textured pony adds volume to the look and works well for formal and casual events alike. Updos like this one have the added benefit of being a go-to style for when you're running late and don't have time to wash your hair – just dry shampoo it, tie them up and bolt. We recommend Toni&Guy Sea Salt Texturising Hair Spray that'll give the hair a natural texture and hold. It'll also add volume and shine.
02Hairstyles to Slim Face: Volume at The Crown Trick
Any hairstyle with teased back hair at the crown will add length to your face. Whether it is a half-up, half-down hairstyle or a ponytail, back comb and create volume at the crown. You can try teasing, dry shampoo or other ways to add extra bounce. Make it clean by pulling up the hair in a neat pony or you can release some loose tendrils to create an undone or romantic look.
03Side-Swept Braid
This one's not just sexy, it's easy to pull off, takes a few minutes only and you can absolutely ace it when you don't want to wash your hair. Talk about a win-win! A messy braid with volume at the roots lengthens the face. It's a popular hairstyle for Indian brides during their wedding functions, especially when they're playing with flowers as hair accessories.
04Fringes May Not be Life Changing, But Can be Face Framing
Adding a fringe to your cut can mask a prominent forehead that you may want to cover. Even a side swept fringe will hide some part of your forehead and give the illusion of a smaller face. You can go ahead and add long layers to your hairstyle, accentuating your favourite features like high cheekbones and full lips and slimming down your face.
05Soft Face Framing Strands
Whether you want your hair in a ponytail, bun or top knot, leave some hair strands loose to frame your face. Keep a section of hair in the front, part it in the middle and leave some to follow the contours of your cheekbone and jawline for an instant hair contouring effect.
06Layered Hair With Curtain Bangs
This look is probably for everyone out there. Will this hairstyle make your face appear slim? The answer is a resounding yes. A thick fringe of bangs will draw focus to your eyes and the layers will frame your face from the sides. I've tried it myself and the verdict is – if styled correctly, you can pull it off girl.
BeBeautiful Tip
Remember to heat protect your hair every time you're styling. Tresemme Gloss Ultimate Hair Serum is infused with vitamin E and a blend of three powerful oils – coconut, Macadamia and sunflower seed oil that'll nourish your hair while adding shine.
07Curl Them up or Add Texture
Short or long hair, curling them will add volume to your hair, drawing attention to the hairstyle while giving a slimming effect to your face. Adding tons of texture and fullness would do the trick too. Rake through the curls with your fingers to tousle the style.
08Bob Cut
This hairstyle is as chic as it gets. The audacious move of cutting your hair to this length is sexy. If you have a round or chubby face, ask your stylist to give you a chin length bob. A flattering bob like with side parts, soft waves or an asymmetric cut would lift the face, add definition and break up the roundness.
