6 Hairstyles That Can Make Your Face Look Thinner and Younger
SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 - BEAUTY

A different hairstyle can do wonders for you, literally. Believe it or not, it can even have an impact on how your face looks. There are numerous hairstyles for every face shape, and choosing the right one can actually make your face look thinner, regardless of its shape. So, what haircut makes you look younger? Let's discuss these six hairstyles and how they can manage to make your face look different. I'll give you some of my own tips and tricks, as well, so stay with me. Let's begin, shall we?

Long Hair

It's as simple as it sounds. This is the cheapest option because you won't have to manage your hairstyle. The only thing you have to focus on is to cut split ends every month or two, and you'll be fine. Hair can elongate the face, so just make sure you take care of your hair, so it looks healthy and shiny. There are also many home remedies for helping your hair grow long faster. They're literally all around the internet. I haven't used them myself, but there are people who claim that they are helpful.

The only drawback of this hairstyle is that you need time to dry it, and it doesn't guarantee that you will actually look younger. One more tip: don't tie your hair from the sides, because you will highlight the widest part of the face. If you want to tie it, it's best to just simply tie it a ponytail.

Wispy Bangs

If you're a bit lazy to adjust your bangs every day, this hairstyle isn't the one for you. But nonetheless, it does the trick. This is one of the haircuts that make your face look thinner for sure. Wispy bangs are longer on the edges and shorter in the middle, unlike regular bangs. It's not so easy to maintain this haircut, but if you don't like or want long hair, these cute bangs might be a better option.

What's best about wispy bangs is that it makes your face both thin and young! If you want to tie your hair in a bun or ponytail, make sure it's not too low. High buns can drastically make your face look thinner, and that's why many celebrities adore high buns. Look how stunning these bangs look on Dakota Johnson in the picture below!

Side Part

This is one of my favorite haircuts that make your face look thinner. You don't really have to do much work, just part your hair in a different way. It will draw the attention away from symmetry and make your face look elongated, but also a bit younger, which is always a good idea.

This occurs because your facial features look much softer. You can choose any side you want. For example, I part my hair on the left side. I find it more convenient. You can try both and see what suits you better.

Asymmetrical Long Bob

It's also called lob. According to Schwarzkopf, this is the absolute best haircut for slimming your face. Aim for the length at least three inches down your chin in the front, and angled shorter in the back.

This is a great hairstyle that is very trendy this year, so if you're a fashion and beauty lover, you could choose this one. This is probably the best short haircut for elongating your face. Most celebrities don't recommend shorter hair at all, but this bob is a big exception.

Wavy Hair

Soft curls can make you look way younger, and your face thinner. Just make sure to adjust the curls to your height. Puffy, wavy hair will create a very good framework for your face. There are many shampoos and hair conditioners you can use in order to get that wavy look, apart from actually curling your hair. Try to avoid the heat, if possible.

There are ways to curl your hair in many other ways. To be honest, this is one of the prettiest hairstyles to make you look younger, but it's a bit demanding, and if you use hair curlers too often, you can damage your hair. Some people even can't maintain curls at all; their hair just strengthens after some time. If you have hair like that, maybe this is not the best option for you.

Face-Framing Layers

This hairstyle works just like long hair and asymmetrical bob. Never go for straight lines. Also, make sure that you make the layers long enough so they fall directly below your chin. It will make your jawline a bit lower, and your face considerably thinner. Even if you decide to grow your hair, cut it in layers. It will give your hair a wild look, which will make you look younger.

Summary

As you can see, every hairstyle has its pros and cons. You should go to your hairstylist and ask him for his opinion before you decide. I've given you the six hairstyles that will definitely elongate your face and make you look different, but it's up to you to choose. You can even try a few of them, and then make a change after some time. Hair will always grow. You can even combine some of these hairstyles, such as curly long hair, or long hair with a side part. There are so many interesting choices and combinations. There aren't many hairstyles to make you look younger than these mentioned above. My final advice to you is- whatever you do, keep your hair as healthy as possible.

Bangs can indeed make a person look younger, but also pay attention to the matching of it and the face shape.
