10 Short Hairstyles That Will Make Your Face Look Slimmer

These days, the weather only seems to get hotter and hotter. Even as we’re sitting in the office, we’re tempted to chop our hair and be done with the heat.

However, cutting your hair has its risks, as the standard bob has a bad rep of making your face appear rounder than usual.

Are there any short hairstyles that can actually help make our face look slimmer?

The answer is yes, and here are five of them to share with your hairstylist at your next visit.

Ruffle Perm

The ruffle perm is made of parallel irregular curls, so you won’t have to worry about the symmetry of your hairstyle.

Not only is this easier to take care of as you just need to give it a quick blow dry, but it also has a chic and retro feel to it.

Tassel Cut

We lowkey dig the tassel cut, as it looks so mature yet refreshing to us. It perfectly frames the cheeks and chin, making the face appear smaller.

Plus, this is yet another hairstyle that doesn’t need much upkeep, as you only need to straighten and smooth it out.

Bonnie Perm

A bonnie perm is where the lower ends of the hair are trimmed to create volume that looks light, fluffy, and totally cute.

If you have high cheekbones, you can go for naturally drooping bangs, which can also lengthen the face’s proportion and make it look slimmer.

Wind Cut

Look familiar? The wind cut is similar to the layered cut, but with less layers involved. The little flick at the end of the hairstyle makes it look feminine yet playful.

What’s great is that if you change your mind about keeping short hair, it won’t look awkward at all as it gradually grows out.

Layered Perm

An adorable haircut, you’ll love how light and short this hairstyle is. The layered perm at the back of the head reveals the neck, making the face look slimmer.

We recommend adding curls to your bangs to give the style more volume and make those cheeks pop!

Jellyfish Cut

This trendy haircut, popular in Japan and Korea, slims the face and flattens the neck with its short front and slightly longer layered back.

Fluffy layers at the back creates a rounded, feminine silhouette.

Wendy Cut

As Red Velvet’s Wendy to-go signature hairstyle, the Wendy Cut is a low-maintenance hairstyles, slightly longer than jawline length with wispy, barely-there layers!

This creates a subtly slimming effect by framing the face without the need for extensive styling!

C Shaped Curls

C-shaped curls gently frame the face, softening sharp angles and highlighting your features.

Layers near your ears are key for this style. For thicker hair, add more layers for a voluminous, airy look!

Gentle Pixie Cut

This haircut combines air bangs and sideburns bangs to create the illusion of a longer face.

Short bangs are best paired with air bangs, which allows some of the forehead to peek through! These wispy gaps add a vertical element, subtly elongating your face shape!

Loved in Japan and Korea, the Flower Bud Cut features inward curls at the top that transitions to outward flips at the ends.

This style adds definition to the face by sharpening the jawline and balancing roundness. The overall effect is a gentle, feminine look!
