The best haircuts to adopt when you have a small forehead
- long and mid-length cuts : they are ideal for lengthening the face in general, and rebalancing the features of the small forehead. Adapt the length of yours to the proportions of your face (which is already more or less round or angular) for a more harmonious result. With a round face, keep your hair long, but with more square jaws, do not hesitate to use mid-length or gradient to soften the oval of your face together.
- bold bob cuts : short and super voluminous, asymmetrical to create a graphic look, ultra short or ultra faded, what does their originality matter in the end since they divert attention from the forehead and make you forget that it is discreet.
- short cuts that clear the temples : they are also not to be neglected if you like short hair because they can also help you to make your forehead more imposing.
- voluminous cropped cuts on top: opting for a cropped hairstyle that shows a bit of volume on top of the head can also help you give the impression of a larger forehead.
Which fringe to choose for a small forehead?
- curtain fringe : this type of very trendy fringe is a great ally for small foreheads, because it frames them wonderfully with its 2 wide strands. For it to rebalance your face, it is best to cut it long to give an impression of height on the top of the face. This is what makes the forehead look instantly bigger.
- thick bangs : Contrary to what one might have thought, imposing bangs, wide and thick, are also a clever way to cheat with your haircut when you have a small forehead. It is enough for the fringe to start from very high on the top of the skull and to choose it long, cut just below the line of the eyebrows, so that it gives the illusion that the forehead it shelters is larger than it. actually isn’t. Less radical, locks that give a movement on the side, if they also start high enough on the top of the head, can also offer this effect.
If mini bangs that split the forehead in two lengthwise are to be avoided, the semblance of fringe which simply create an abstract lock at the hairline are an original way to adopt the fringe without having to limit yourself to the constraints of its tedious daily maintenance.
