Long haircuts designed to flatter fat faces can help conceal unwanted weight by creating balance, emphasizing the best features, and parting in flatter ways. The keys to slimming down a round face include finding long haircuts that feature flattering parting options to help create balance in appearance and highlight those areas where extra volume may have built up before weight is shown elsewhere.
Oval or Long Faces
Oval or long faces look best when sporting below-the-chin lengths, side-swept bangs, and layers with texture.
Inverted/Asymmetrical Bob
Short bobs suit virtually every face shape, while long, choppy, asymmetrical styles are an eye-catcher. This model’s impressive, asymmetrical cut – which features one side longer than the other and almost chin length – adds dimension and definition to her round face by creating sharp contours around her cheekbones and jawline. A swooping bang adds even more dimension and completes this stunning hairstyle!
Asymmetrical Bowl Bobs
Asymmetrical bowl bobs make a striking statement when worn to stand out and look unique and eccentric. Their short stack heightens cheekbones while their longer side frames your face to make it appear smaller – perfect for any special event or casual or formal look! Versatility also allows this style to work for every occasion; feel free to experiment with textures and colors for both formal and casual looks!
Add Some Fun Flair
Add some fun flair to this classic bob haircut by incorporating messy bangs and subtle blonde highlights, giving it a playful edge. You are paired with a straight shoulder-length cut with face-framing layers to help slim and youthful up your appearance while providing volume for thin locks. For optimal results, use smoothing pomade or an anti-frizz serum on the crown of your head before styling to avoid frizz issues.
Cheekbone-Grazing Curls
A classic bob may seem the obvious solution for fat faces, but other lengths can also provide balance. For instance, this midi bob adds weight below the cheekbones to balance out a full face shape. In contrast, its feathered layered bangs add height and dimension – creating that Farrah Fawcett vibe while simultaneously adding some definition and definition to the overall look.
Layered Inverted Bobs
Layered inverted bobs can effectively slim round faces with double chins. It keeps its length shorter at the back to create more face-elongating proportions, and having long layers sliced in at either side to frame the forehead and eliminate any widening bulk creates an ideal silhouette to suit such features.
Short Microbangs
Though blunt cuts may not be recommended for thick faces, this short microbang style works beautifully on long ones. Its face-framing layers help open up the eyes while defining lean facial features. You can wear this style up or down to the shoulders if the length lands just above the brow.
Loose Waves with a Side Part
If you have extra weight on your face but prefer round shapes, using haircuts recommended for oval, heart, or square faces can still work to flatter chubby cheeks and disguise the roundness of your features. Just avoid chin-length styles that exaggerate rather than hide this.
Long wavy hair works beautifully with any facial structure, and this loose shag bob with side-swept bangs is particularly suitable for round faces. To create this look, begin with washed and dried locks prepared with heat protectant and texturizing spray, then use a medium barrel curling iron to style loose waves at face-framing sections of your bob.
Red Carpet-Ready Look
Gabrielle Union proves otherwise with her red carpet-ready look – featuring a voluminous lob with lots of volume and a central part designed to elongate her face. You could try the same cut on straight or wavy hair for similar slimming effects.
Inverted Asymmetrical Bob with Short MicroBangs
If your face shape is round and your weight distribution largely rests around your head, consider treating yourself to a haircut designed to slim and lengthen for an eye-catching sculpted aesthetic. The key to creating this effect with round faces lies in adding visual weight on top while adding angles and interest, along with parting hair appealingly.
Inverted Asymmetrical Bob with Short MicroBangs does all that beautifully. By stacking all bulk on one side and creating a deep side part that directs your line of sight diagonally across your face, this style emphasizes jawlines and cheekbones while making the forehead thinner – ideal for plus-size women who wish to conceal bulge while showing off beautiful features like jawlines and cheekbones more prominently while downplaying any visible chub or flab on their bodies. A caramel Balayage provides added visual depth and dimension which creates an eye-catching and head-turning result – guaranteed!
