Hair ye, hair ye. Did you know that the right haircut can actually make it appear as if you’ve trimmed away some of those extra pounds? It’s true. A face-flattering hairstyle will leave you looking as if you just stepped out of the salon… and the gym. It’s all about working to get the proper angle. Here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that you make the kindest cut. Always opt for layers. Layers minimize the dreaded double chin and add more definition to the shoulder area. Layers will also give your hair more volume, drawing attention away from a fattish face. But before you go peeling away the layers, think of the length. Don’t ever go shorter than the chin as it will make your face appear wider. In fact, go long as a general rule, but don’t go all Rapunzel.Hair that’s too long will make you look older and frumpier. Stick to hairstyles that are shoulder length or slightly longer. This creates the illusion of a leaner face, while shorter cuts make the face appear fuller. Another popular option is going with a side part. Bangs will act as a distraction from an overly round face and will also emphasize the cheekbones. If you’re still unsure of which way to turn more into less, look to your favorite plus-sized celebs. Check out how stars such as Queen Latifah, Sara Ramirez, Gabourey Sidibe, Kirstie Alley and other celebs to take a tip from how they put their hair to work for them.
