Separate Your Baby Hairs

If the sides of your hairline are curved inwards, similar to a widow’s peak, this trick can help you hide areas with thinner hair.

Start by sectioning off your hair and pinning back the majority of your bangs. To prevent any mishaps, be careful to only trim the thinnest layer of hair!

Next, use a flat comb to delicately pull at the thinner hair strands until your baby hairs are exposed. Slowly release your baby hairs to frame your face, and repeat the process to ensure you cover all the strands.

Trim Along Your Brows

After that, position your scissors at an angle towards your ears to trim those baby hairs.

Begin cutting from the center of your forehead and continue downwards until you reach your ears.

To achieve the right angle, aim for an end result gives your baby hairs a subtle curve that follows the upper edge of your eyebrows. This will help create the illusion of a slimmer and more defined face.

Repeat the same steps on the other side to ensure symmetry, allowing your baby hairs to curve outward towards your other ear!

This particular trim looks especially great when your hair is styled in a bun or ponytail, as it eliminates any concerns about accidentally exposing thinning spots.

Instead, you’ll have trendy wispy bangs that delicately frame your face, giving you a naturally stunning appearance!

Trim Near The Ears

Another way to slim down your face is to utilise the baby hair near your ears! These tiny hairs can still be seen when your hair is tied up and, when styled correctly, can give you a more casual and relaxed appearance.

To start, gently untuck the baby hair from behind your ears and twist them together slightly to gather them. Then, make a diagonal cut once more, making sure the final length aligns with the corners of your mouth.

For the finishing touch, you can clip and style your baby hairs to angle them properly, creating a gentle inward curve that frames your face nicely.

Pretty simple, right? Combine both of these techniques to create the illusion of fuller hair, while achieving a trendy and flattering hairstyle that slims your face!
