"Just like there's no such thing as a 'perfect' body shape, the same goes for face shapes," says Jon Reyman, celebrity hairstylist and Dyson global stylist. "With that that in mind, short hairstyles do work well for round faces, but it's all about the cut, length, and styling," he adds.
Short hair for a chubby face is a savior if cut in the right length and flattering shape. This time the stylist shows us how pretty a short French bob can look with a round face and glasses.
Long hair is perfect and universally flattering on round faces because it lengthens the face. If you have a round face, your ideal cut will fall a few inches below the chin or longer.
Does short hair make you look thinner or fatter? Well, it depends on how you style your hair. Adding some height to the crown with wispy layers makes your face appear longer. Layering short-to-medium hair definitely slims down a chubby face.
It is believed that the thicker hair will give the illusion of a fuller, more robust figure. This is not always true because sometimes people with long hair can look even skinnier than those with short hair.
Deep Side Part. Switching where you part your hair doesn't seem like much of a style, but it's a quick and easy way to elevate your look and make your face appear slimmer. Like side-swept bangs, creating a deep part gives your face a slimming effect as it sweeps diagonally across your face.
An asymmetrical long bob, or lob, is the absolute best hairstyle if you want to make your face look thinner. Opt for a lob at least three inches below the chin in the front, and angled shorter in the back.
Straight Long Bob Cut.
It's a great haircut for a round face with a double chin since it elongates the face, shifts the focus away from the chin, and ensures low maintenance.
Short hair can be slimming as well, as long as you have tons of texture and fullness, which make your face look smaller in proportion.
Are bangs good for chubby faces? Bangs look well on round faces, making them appear thinner. They allow for a variety of women's hairstyles to conceal softer jawlines and high cheekbones. So, if you have a round face, choose the fringe that will make it look more oval.
Get your hair cut in layers and maintain the length if you do not want to go short. Simply sport a middle partition and let your shiny strands fall on both sides. The middle partition will elongate the face, while the layers on the sides will camouflage the cheeks.
Layered Chin-Length Bob
To make your round cheeks less prominent, go for chin length hairstyles. A bob is an amazing choice in this case. If your hair lacks natural volume, add layers to your haircut. This is also a nice way of how to hide bangs should you be looking for one.
Like I said, the results are subtle, but pulling your hair up does make your face look instantly thinner and sharper, especially from the profile. Bottom line: If you're not feeling so hot, pull your hair up in a high pony and watch your confidence skyrocket, Ariana Grande-style.
Heavy or blunt bangs can make the face look rounder—in fact, Tricomi suggests only opting for blunt bangs if you pair them with long layers around the face. For wispy bangs, make sure the fringe is shorter in the middle and longer on the edges to create a slimming look.
Forget what you thought about long hair past the age of 40—thick hair actually looks more youthful and polished when it falls shoulder-length or longer. Shorter hair has a tendency to expand at the ends, leaving you with an unflattering triangle effect.
If You Have a Long Face and/or High Forehead: This face shape is similar to the oval-shaped, but the forehead, cheeks and jawline are all the same width. To complement this face shape, don't get baby bangs because they will further elongate your face.
All you do is place a pencil under your chin horizontally and hold a ruler under your ear, vertically. If the intersection of the two measures less than 2.25 inches, your face is made for short hair a la Halle Berry or Audrey Hepburn.
Short hair tends to suit all face shapes, although each face shape has things to consider when going short. Round faces, for example, can look rounder with the wrong short cut, but some short haircuts can look simply amazing.
A cropped cut can be a way to show the world how strong you are. "A woman with short hair is perceived as confident — not having to hide anything,” says Jo-Ellan Dimitrius, author of “Reading People: How to Understand People and Predict Their Behavior – Anytime, Anyplace.”
Ultimately, short hair can make you look older, but it doesn't have to. “The way you style your short hair has a bigger impact on how old it makes you look rather than the actual haircut itself,” she says. This leads us to the importance of texture in a short haircut, and its instant de-aging effects.
