Hairstyles for Big Face

Big faces are usually fuller and round in shape, though sometime the bone structure is large. But most of the times when you put on weight it shows on your face. The cheeks become chubby, neck becomes thick and you may develop double chin. If you have a big face with curly or wavy hair it can be a nightmare to get the right haircut. This kind of hair is best grown long, else it will look like a nest on the head. Grow it way below the shoulders length, this will make your face look thinner. It is advisable to straighten the tresses if you can, to reduce the volume. The most important factor of any hairstyle is balance, specially for large or round faces. Adding volume will make the face look even bigger, so too short hairstyles like crew cut and razor cut or very short bob should be avoided. So also, steer away from hairstyles that add lots of volume and body.

Also avoid hair that is swept back in a bun or a pony tail or plait. This will make the round face look even more rounder and will reveal the frame of the face. Some hairstyles that will suit big, round face are enlisted here.

1) Bob – Chin length bob which frame the face are perfect for this facial type. They make the face look oval, bangs can be added if the forehead is large.Gradual layers can be added to a Bob cut to suit the face type, this type of layer is done at the edges and gives a rounded look and adds volume at the top and sides. It perfectly suits hair that is straight or slightly wavy but doesn’t compliment hair that is too curly.

2) Long straight hair – Long hair will narrow down the face and make it appear thinner. Chin length bangs can be added to long hair to balance the facial structure. Layers that start below chin length will suit this face type.
