“With round face shapes, you need to create interest and angles in the haircut to elongate the face,” says Dom Seeley, Color Wow's international creative director. “Longer lengths are more suited to this face shape for that reason too, and it's always better to style it in soft waves, adding body and volume.
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.
Quite often, you'll hear beauty advice that says women with round faces should not wear their hair short. That's simply not true. You can wear short hair no matter the shape of your face; you just want to make sure to find the right cut and style.
Texture is a great way to make you look slimmer. You can go edgy and keep the longer layers by creating a mid-length shaggy bob. Texture and movement tend to make your face look sllimmer, while blunt cuts make the face look fuller and rounder. Long hair tends to look more slenderizing than short hair.
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.
If you're deliberating whether to go with a longer, more flowing style or a shorter, edgier one, Edward Tricomi, celebrity hairstylist and co-owner of Warren-Tricomi, suggests going long—length elongates the face, which is a major coup for anyone looking to make their face look slimmer.
A short crop will make your body appear larger by making your head look small. “Hairstyles with sharp lines in them will enhance the body's natural shape,” says Joel Goncalves, Creative Director at John Frieda. That means a longer style but with choppy layers that draw into the cheekbones.
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.
The longer and wetter your hair, the more weight you'll gain. Even if you have long hair, it's unlikely that it would add more than a few ounces.
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.
Longer hair weighs more, so it can pull your hair down, making it look thinner than it really is. Ask your hairstylist to cut in a few layers to shorten up a few pieces of hair without losing your length.
Having a chubby face shouldn't stop you from rocking a haircut with bangs. In fact, bangs can ease out the puffiness of your chubby face and make it appear slimmer. Side-swept bangs cut at an angle make a chubby face look slender. Wispy bangs and piece-y, long fringe bangs are equally flattering chubby face bangs.
A-line, graduated (inverted), and asymmetrical bobs create a kind of a curtain in the front to hide a sagging jawline while opening the neck for a more feminine feel. They are also highly recommended for women who want to hide their chin.
"The best hairstyle to bring out the beautiful jawline would be a bob," says Liu. "It could be a classic bob or a textured bob, as long as the length is right at the jaw. Not above and not below." Chabbi prefers a straight-across bob, like Rihanna's, if you're going for definition.
“Typically, a double chin corresponds with carrying excess weight. But there's no scientific evidence supporting a clear-cut way of losing it besides diet and exercise,” notes health and fitness specialist Chris Dempers.

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.
The bangs should neutralize the chubby appearance, visually slimming the face. The best haircut here is the side-swept bangs, might be slightly layered, beginning at the parting and layered alongside the face line.
It's a cliché for good reason, apparently – longer hair can be ageing as we get older. This is especially true if you're starting to see some grey strands, Neil Moodie, session stylish and Viviscal ambassador, tells us. It might be worth considering a cut, if this is you.
We call it the 2.25 rule. Practically fool proof, this rule states that if the longest part of your chin is less than 2.25 inches from the tip of your earlobe, then short hairstyles are for you.
