These are the BEST slimming hairstyles for your face...
You don’t need to book in for facelift to slim your features, a new haircut can do the job! From chiselling your jawbones to slimming your jawline, your haircut is crucial when it comes to looking and feeling your best. Time to lock down some super slimming hairstyles.
Slimming hairstyle tips:
- If you have short hair try adding in some shorter latest at the back to boost volume and the height if your hair which will lift your features and create a slimming effect.
- If you have a bob haircut why not go for a graduated cut for the new season ahead. The longer length at the front that sits along your jawline will slim your neckline.
- Transform long hair from drab to fab with some layers which will help to give the hair movement and texture which will stop long hair dragging down your features which can be ageing.
- If you have curly hair avoid short layers which can grow outwards and can make your face seem larger. Instead get longer layers cut in at the salon.
- Try adding a fringe as it will frame your face helping to reduce a large forehead or round face shape.
