Short hair

[Tesia]

I heard short hair cuts make your face look smaller/more defined. Is that true? I want to cut my hair up to my chin and it would be great if my hair cut made my face look smaller. I feel like my cheeks look so big sometimes.

A shorter bob like cut accentuates your chin and jawline area a lot more because that's where it's cut..it defines that area, but I'm not sure if it makes your face look smaller.

It would depend on the cut. Some shorter cuts can define your features while others can make your face appear rounder or larger, since there isn't much extra hair framing it. Best to tell your stylist what you have in mind --- they can usually visualize pretty well how it'll look on you - and be able to help you decide.

Thanks for the info jannelle and kam

i was thinking of a haircut like this. I want to cut my hair like the second picture but i havent gotten a bob in so long.

I totally agree with Janelle! I know I can get away with a short cut because it accentuates my face, but at the same time, my friend can't because it makes her look pudgy.

Maybe if it was cut on an angle toward your face it would make it appear slimmer?

ive always been having short hair..i had long hair when i was young..ever since i cut my hair short i dont wanna leave my hair long anymore..i think short hair is easier to manage..even though i think i spend more time doing my hair compared to when it was long

my hair is like in the second pic..i think bob hair is nice!

I would love to have long hair but everytime I let it grow out I feel like my face looks fat so I try to keep it no longer than my shoulders. I always try to grow it out and I always feel the same way, I think my face looks thinner and more defined when my hair is shorter.

i dont think it makes your face look smaller but rounder and you said you had big cheeks so i wouldnt recommend it. my hair stylist told me that is good i have a narrow face because i cut my hair short and i would just look fat

I love that haircut and had mine like that for a long time.

Won't make your face look smaller but rather accentuate what you have.

It will depend on your face shape. A certain short haircut might look great on an oval face, but awful on a round face.
