Okay, so as you might have noticed, I typically favor side bangs over straight bangs. The reason for this is that proportionally speaking, my head is WAY too small for my body! xD If you also have a tiny head, here are some tips to even out your appearance:
I. – Side Part. A side part make the face appear rounder, whereas a straight part makes the face appear longer.
II. – Side Bangs. Same reason as A, but if you pull hair over from one side and back past your normal bang-line, this adds volume and definition to the bang, making it a large, bold, animated feature which actually increases space between the contours of your hair; This is what makes your head appear larger, and your body appear smaller.
III. – Layers. Layers create a greater potential for volume (especially when blow-dried upside-down. This makes your hair appear fuller. Thus, your head appears larger. Caution: DO NOT cut too much off and end up with a mullet. Unless it’s an “asian mullet” (which is a contemporary version of the traditional mullet), it is probably atrocious.
IV. – Curls. For me, this is the ultimate life-saving hair tip. Since I have extra fine hair, layers + curls increases my volume, adding bounce and an overall “adorable-factor.” Caution: Curls can either make you look younger or older. Generally, the tighter the curls, the younger you look, but if you’re 40+, do not get a perm unless you want to look VASTLY older than you are.
V. – Color. Coloring is extremely important. I am extremely tall, so when I went from blond to brunette, a lot of folks stopped me to say that the dark brown hair looked better because it “brought me to earth.” Although I prefer to think that blond makes me ascend to the divine. xD Anyway, choose your color wisely.
Okay, I feel I should briefly touch on hair coloring. Should you choose to color your hair, choose a color that matches:
—A)your complexion. I don’t care what people say, women with tans do NOT look good as redheads. Similarly, blonds do not look all that great with ghostly-pale skin, and it’s easy to look “washed out” in this case.
—B)your personality. Are you a bubbly blond? a crazy redhead? or a mysterious brunette? Since your hairstyle is probably the first thing a person is going to see when they look at you, you need to ask yourself if the color you are sporting says anything at all about the person underneath.
—C)your age. Don’t let your 13 year old dye her hair. That’s ridiculous. If you’re 20 years old, don’t dye it grey unless you’re a runway model. If you’re going on 60, don’t go bleach-blond.
Well, I hope these tips helped!
Stay fabulous! ❤
