How to make your forehead look smaller- Best Hairstyles

We usually get this question on how to make your forehead look smaller? If you choose the hairstyle for a big forehead, it is the best way to reduce your forehead size. These big forehead hairstyles frame your face, add volume to your hair and draw attention towards your cheekbones instead of your forehead.

1. Bangs for you

Bangs are a perfect solution if you want to balance your huge forehead. They create a curtain style over the forehead instantly, which makes it look smaller.

• Blunt bangs- cut straight across, this hairstyle covers your forehead completely. This is a perfect chic look.

• Side bangs- These side bangs add asymmetry that breaks up the forehead width.

• Wispy Bangs: Light, feathered bangs give a subtle, airy coverage without feeling too heavy.

2. Layered Haircuts 

Layers at dimension, volume and movement, which draw attention away from the broad forehead. If you have shoulder-length or layered cuts it works especially when paired with bangs. We suggest asking your stylist to start layers around your cheekbones, which will guide focus downwards.

3. Curtain bangs with long hair

This hairstyle split in the middle and framed the face. It looks beautiful and has a very effortless vibe. They usually make the forehead look smaller and put more focus on your eyes and cheekbones.

4. Volume ponytails or top buns

A high ponytail or top buns with more volume at the crown, add height to the back of the head, which reduces forehead prominence. To make it look more stylish, Let a few strands fall around your face for a more relaxed look.

5. Side parts and deep side-swept styles

Changing your part will make a big difference. A side part focuses on the sides creating an illusion of a smaller forehead. You can also add loose waves or curls to add texture.

Styling Tips for Less Forehead Appearance 

With the right haircut, simple styling tips can also make your huge forehead look smaller. Here are a few styling tips to minimise the forehead appearance.

1. Usage of hair topper for coverage and volume

If you have a receding hairline or thinning near your forehead, a hair topper will definitely be a game changer. It will blend with your natural hair, adding volume and coverage.

Product suggestion: we offer receding hairline toppers that add volume and conceal your hairline gaps. This makes the forehead look smaller and more proportionate.

2. Silk topper with bangs

For a quick and ultimate fix, a silk topper is a combination that gives the benefit of a topper and also a forehead-shrinking effect in one product. It will cover thinning areas and also give instant fringe without a stylish permanent haircut. 

Product suggestion: we offer Silk Topper with Bangs. It is a natural-looking and comfortable solution for extra coverage and flattering bang effect.

3. Important accessories

Accessories like hair-clips, scarfs, and headbands will draw your attention away from your huge forehead. Push your headband slightly back on the crown, which will add volume and break the forehead area.

4. Use texture and waves

If you keep your hair flat, it will focus more on the size of your forehead. Always go for beach waves, curls or messy texture that will create volume and balance. 

Makeup hacks that you must compliment with your hairstyle

If you keep your makeup strategic and balanced, it will impact your facial proportions directly

• Contour Your Forehead: you must share the hairline with the matte bronzer that will create a shadow effect, shortening the forehead.

• Bold eyes and brows- give more emphasis on eyes and eyebrows, which will shift the attention downward. More fuller brows, winged eyeliner and voluminous lashes will draw more focus.
