How to Make Ears Look Smaller

While oversized ears look cute on a baby elephant, they can be a burden for children and adults. Luckily, there are many ways to create the illusion of smaller ears, or just hide them entirely. Healthy hair and the right accessories are inexpensive fixes; there is also the much more expensive (and permanent) option of plastic surgery.

Things You'll Need

• Hairband
• Bandanna
• Scarves
• Hat

Instructions

1. Grow your hair long enough to cover your ears. Choose hairstyles that maximize body and volume, like layered hair cuts.

2. Wear accessories that will draw eyes away from your ears. Put on a beautiful necklace or vibrant top to refocus attention away from your ears.

3. Wear a stretchy hairband or bandanna that can hold your ears back against your head. Use scarves and hats to your advantage as well.

4. Avoid dangling earrings or pulling your hair back tightly. This will only make your ears look more pronounced.

5. Talk to a plastic surgeon about otoplasty (ear pinning) if you are extremely uncomfortable with your ears and feel there are no viable alternate solutions.
