If you have a round and chubby face, a cute bob style will work wonders to hide the extra fat. Just ask your stylist to give you a chin-length bob look. The length will draw attention to your jawline, and highlight your bone structure. The inward flip of the style will accentuate the angles of your face.
Side-Swept Bob
The length hits just below the chin, which is often the most flattering spot for round face shapes. (If you have a round face and long hair, your layers shouldn't go shorter than that point.) On this short bob, the layers graze the cheekbones and define them really beautifully.
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.
If you have a round shaped face, Udoh stresses, “avoid blunt haircuts and blunt, short styles,” and ask for “long layers or side swept bangs instead.” With a round face, this doesn't mean your options are limited, you just might have to ask your stylist for a softer version of a blunt look.
As far as hairstyles that make your face look thinner go, long hair is one of the easiest options. "Long hair instantly slims most face shapes. Think about getting semi-permanent hair extensions to speed up the process," says Lopez.
While blunt bangs can make round faces look a little squat, side-swept bangs move the eyes diagonally across your face. The angled fringe helps make your face appear longer and, therefore, thinner.
1: Do: Long Shag
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. Make sure bangs are angled and not too thick. Sideswept, wispy bangs can minimize a wide forehead.
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.
Sometimes (but not always) a shorter cut can accentuate your face's roundness, so going a little longer is a surefire way to avoid that effect. If you're nervous about going too short, aim for a length about two inches below the chin like Queen Latifah here.
Shop for low-cut tops with deep scoop neck, surplice, halter and V-neck styles that best showcase your figure. Enhance your waist with a belt to exaggerate your curves. If you want to conceal your curves, wear dark colors and vertical stripes.
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.
A short hair cut can be very flattering to the plus size woman, so long as it flatters her face shape. Don't forget to consider your attitude and overall style. Have fun with your look! From classic bobs to trendy pixie cuts, there's an appropriate choice for everyone.
Color your hair darker around your face.
"Lighter tones open up the face, making it appear wider, while darker tones are slimming," says Dubre. So keep the strands closest to your face a shade or two darker than the others, he suggests.
Do: sport side partings and sleek, glossy, long locks to streamline a round face. Do: play with darker powder eyeshadows, placing them underneath the lower edge of the cheekbones to create some flattering, sharp angles to your face. Just ensure that you blend well. Don't: be heavy handed when applying your blusher.
Shoulder-length hair (or longer) with layers
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.
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.
Long Face: The longer your hair is, the longer it will make your face look. It's often best to go with shorter styles or those that have plenty of volume.
The distinction between the butterfly and other layered cuts is that the butterfly cut has two obvious sections: long layers that fall below the shoulders to give the illusion of length, and short layers that hit two to three inches below the chin to frame the face and add volume.
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.
Long hair can enhance facial features by diverting attention away from wrinkles or age spots and adding volume to your hair. Short hair does not need to age you, though, as the style and texture of shorter hairstyles can add a youthful appearance.
Your hair won't affect your overall weight more than a few ounces. Hair isn't a living structure–it's dead cells of protein. The more hydrated you are, the more your hair will weigh.
Don't opt for bulky clothes with heavy fabrics, especially when you are overweight. Instead, add layers to your outfits to dress stylishly and enhance the way you look. Pick a handful of attractive layers that you can throw on to craft unique, original outfits and look fabulous in no time.
