Ahead, find hairstyles that help slim your face, set to refresh your look into something more striking, with depth and dimension.

Wispy Bangs

Add wispy bangs to your do, rather than heavy or blunt bangs. The blunter the bangs the more your face will look rounder. On the other hand, if you fringe the bangs shorter in the middle and longer on the edges, you’ll get the slimming look you desire.

Curtain Bangs

Swooping, soft, face-framing curtain bangs are a great way to add structure and clean lines to a rounder face. Make sure you ask your stylist for the fringe to be able to softly open up around the tail of the brow for an eye elongating effect.

Shaggy Layers 

Adding width and volume to your hair can help balance out your face shape. Shaggy layers are great for face slimming, as you can easily play up the texture with different styling products for added body.

Ballerina Bun

The slimming effects of a high ballerina bun lies in the vertical illusion it creates. If you’re uncomfortable with having all your hair slicked back, leave a few strands out.
