Instead of blaming your genes for having bloated cheeks or round face or huge fat storage under your jaws, you can try these slick techniques called “hairstyle that slims your face”.

Yes, hairstyle does effect the overall appearance of your face. Here are some tips on how to make your face look slimmer.

DONT’s

* Like clothes with horizontal stripes add the illusion of weight, hairstyles with blunt edges can make your face look much wider than it really is. Avoid styles or cuts that have any type of strong lines that will make your face look larger than it really is.

* Avoid hair that is either too long or too short.

* Avoid curls, wedge styles or super short cuts.

DO’s

* Add vertical lines to your hair through highlights or lowlights. An expert hair colorist can add wonderful depth to your overall face with multi dimensional colour.

* Consider pulling your hair into a high ponytail or braid anchored at your crown. Pull out a few tendrils on either side of your face to add a subtle slenderizing.

* shoulder skimming shaggy style with texturized fringe is wonderful for reducing facial width. Blow dry hair forward with a large round brush to smooth and curl your hair under. Set with a good hair spray. The best length for faces that need slenderizing is between the jaw line and the shoulders. This length elongates your face and neck creating a much slimmer appearance.

* A chin-length bob with minimum layering and angled bobs with sides that taper softly below the cheeks are also selections. This look creates the illusion of higher, more angular cheekbones. By introducing a horizontal line, side-parted fringes that sweep across the forehead also help break up a face’s roundness.

* A key to slenderizing round faces is to minimize the volume of hair that is at the sides and ear area. If a hairstyle is selected that falls above the jaw it is best to wear an off-centre part to interrupt roundness. A longer jaw length or longer style can benefit from a centre part.
