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!
