Small eyes are often seen as attractive, round faces give a youthful appearance, and big ears can be utterly charming—just look at Anne Hathaway! Our unique features contribute to our own special charm.
However, some people still choose to change these features, which is entirely their choice. But it’s worth remembering that these changes don’t require surgery—a simple hairstyle change can make a world of difference.
4o
1. Double chin
Cropped haircuts are a big no-no if you have a double chin. Instead, opt for bangs, curls, or face-framing, layered haircuts to draw attention to your hair rather than your chin.
The key is to incorporate layers—they add volume and create the illusion of a narrower face. If you love short haircuts, go for a layered, chin-length bob, but be sure to keep the ends uneven for a more flattering look.
2. Big nose
Opt for hairstyles that widen your face to make your nose appear smaller. Various types of bangs—such as side-swept, curtain, or layered—work wonderfully for this effect. Consider wearing your hair in a messy bun or a ponytail, allowing a few loose strands to frame your face. Avoid short, straight cuts, as they can emphasize your nose more.
3. Big forehead
Bobs with bangs, long or short hair with a center part, and razored bangs are ideal for balancing a big forehead. According to stylists, horizontal framing, ample volume, and soft layers are key to achieving a well-balanced look.
4. Small eyes
Avoid blunt and thick haircuts; instead, opt for short hairstyles or low-volume cuts. Bangs are fine, as long as they don’t fully cover your eyes and forehead. Pixie cuts can highlight your eyes beautifully, especially if your eyebrows are well-visible.
5. Round face
To create a more oval appearance for your face, consider a shaggy wavy bob or face-framing balayage highlights. Adding volume on top and keeping elongated locks on the sides can help. Avoid sleek hairstyles and thick bangs, as horizontal lines can make your face appear wider.
6. Oblong face
People with thin faces may have more prominent noses, chins, and necks, and certain haircuts can make their faces look even longer. Avoid straight, long hair, and opt for hairstyles that add volume. Consider a parted shaggy lob, an asymmetrical choppy lob, wispy-layered long hair, or a long wavy hairstyle with a center part to create a fuller appearance.
7. Big ears
Covering your ears isn’t difficult, but choosing the perfect haircut from so many options can be a challenge. Aim for styles with volume and fullness at the sides of your head, keeping the hair away from the scalp. Bobs or long, layered hair are excellent choices.
