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.
The longer length (try for shoulder length or longer) draws the eye down and makes your face appear slimmer. The layers soften up the style, giving you a younger and more feminine look.
Strands of different lengths will make you look thinner by hiding the necessary areas. The perfect length of a haircut is up to your chest level, and the layers should begin either above your chin or below it, so that the layered strands could frame and soften the face lines.
“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.
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.
"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.
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.
"Layers tend to remove weight and can make hair look thinner. Long layers will remove just the right amount of weight to add volume at the root while keeping density throughout."
Bluntly cut bangs shorten the appearance of your face, making it look wider than it truly is. They also highlight the fullness of your face, making the roundness of the cheeks and chin more apparent.
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.

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.
Your face shape decides whether a hairstyle suits you or not. If you have an oval face shape then most hairstyles will suit you. But if you have a round, heart-shaped, or rectangular face shape, you will have to be more careful with the hairstyles you choose.
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 have a double chin despite being skinny, your body just happens to genetically store extra fat around the jawline. There's really nothing unusual about it, but it does present a challenge in that your chin fat is much harder to target through diet and exercise alone.
The reason behind excess face fat is poor diet, lack of exercise, aging, or genetic conditions. Fat is usually more visible in the cheeks, jowls, under the chin, and neck. Facial fat tends to be more noticeable in people with rounded, less-pronounced facial features.
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.
Caramel, honey, gold, copper, and strawberry give a healthy brightness that makes us look and feel younger. (Framing your face with lighter shades draws the eye away from any complexion concerns, as well.)
With curly or wavy hair, going too short may add more width to the cheek area. Short styles that add volume on top can elongate your face. Square Face: You may want to play down a strong, angular jaw. Texture, in the form of curls or choppy ends, does a brilliant job at this.
The answer to so many hair woes is simple: get more layers. If you have fine strands, this can help a little or hurt a lot, depending on the amount you ask for. Too many layers will make your hair appear even more lacking in body and volume.
Heavy layers tent to thin the bottom out even more, so that adds to a thinner, more scraggly appearance overall. "Finer hair typically looks best when the length is at the collarbone or shorter," said Holly Pistas, artistic director, master makeup and hair designer at Gordon Salon in Chicago.
