How can I make my head wider?
Are you not satisfied with the shape of your head? The look can be easily changed with suitable hairstyles. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman: there are several options for making your head appear wider.
Conceal an elongated head
- With an elongated and rather narrow one face the forehead area is often very pronounced. If you have such a high forehead is a pony perfect for you. Thanks to the optical division into bangs and face, it takes a piece of the length of the head and makes it appear correspondingly wider.
- As a woman, you can have full bangs cut for you by your hairdresser. Whether you prefer straight or sloping bangs is a matter of taste. The only important thing is that it is cut very wide and preferably just before the eyebrows ends or even covers it. The deeper the bangs fall into your face, the more length you take away from your high forehead and the generally long face shape.
- As a man, a cut with oblique, longer bangs is well suited - up to about the level of the ears. Your sides should also be hair be cut a little longer. You have a clear advantage with curls or very voluminous hair, as the volume on the sides can visually distract you from a long face and a high forehead. You should definitely avoid absolute ones Short hairstyles, in which the hair may also be gelled upwards and the forehead is completely exposed, because this visually elongates the head even more.
A bob hairstyle makes the face look wider
- In principle, a long mane is not advisable for a narrow head. Especially if you also have very straight hair, your head is optically pulled down by the long hair and then looks even longer. You should also avoid a middle parting, as it divides the face into two exactly the same, very narrow halves, which are also not conducive to a narrow head shape.
- As a woman, on the other hand, a bob hairstyle is very suitable for you, which can also be worn with bangs. Here the hair is cut to about chin level - if you dare, a cut at ear level is also perfect. Working out volume on the sides with gel or hairspray will make the head appear a lot wider. If you are lucky enough to be curly hair, this is even easier than with straight hair.
- You can also have the bob graded by the hairdresser. If the volume is mainly at the level of the ears, the face is optically ideally drawn in width.
