Getting a short haircut is a drastic move, a scary thing for a lot of women. But going short is a way to spice up your look and feel Hollywood chic. For women with round faces, it can be even more daunting to go short, and many assume they can't pull it off. Although your style depends on the length of your hair, its texture and weight, your age and lifestyle, it's possible to get a short haircut that will make your face appear slimmer. Does this Spark an idea?
The Cut
The cut of your hair is going to be the most important aspect in your new hairstyle. The length of the cut should never be directly at your chin. This will only make your face appear rounder. Instead, aim for a few inches above or below the chin. If you want to go really short, consider a pixie cut, in which the short layers break up the roundness of the face. For hair that falls between the chin and shoulders, get a shag cut with wispy ends for texture. Your style should keep hair close to the sides of your face, framing it.
Shape, Style & Color
Another issue to deal with when getting a new haircut is the shape of your crown, where your hair meets your forehead. Hair flat on your crown will make your face appear rounder, but may be balanced by soft, medium-length layers. If you have a cupid's bow, it may help to get bangs cut into your style.
As far as bangs go, avoid blunt, heavy bangs. Go for long, wispy bangs with a side part. Avoid a center part, which creates a wider face. Color can make a round face look elongated---avoid allover monotone colors and go with chunky highlights instead.
Make It Your Own
Do not lose your individuality. If you see a hairstyle you love, but think you can't pull it off because of your face shape, take the picture to a hairstylist who has a good reputation for short 'dos. See if he has ideas on alter the cut and style slightly to work for you. Never get a hairstyle that doesn't make you feel great, is hard to maintain or that you think just isn't you. Just because it fits the "rules" of your face shape doesn't make it right for you. Have fun with your hair. If you're having fun, you'll look confident, and confidence is always beautiful.
