Hairstyles for Baby-Fine Hair for Full Faces
A round face provides a look of youthful innocence that is emphasized by fine, limp hair. Round cheeks may be adorable on a little girl, but they're a feature many women wish to avoid. There are many ways to give your hair a thicker look, drawing the eye to your luscious hair and away from your round cheeks and chin. Emphasize your best features with the perfect style for your fine hair and full face. Does this Spark an idea?

Cut
-
Whether your cut is short, medium-length or long, layers will add volume and texture to your baby-fine hair and make your face look slender. Medium-length is ideal for a full face and fine hair. Try shaggy, choppy layers that frame your face. Pieces of hair that rest on your cheeks will enhance your cheekbones. Long textured bangs that sweep to one side give additional fullness to your hair and minimize facial roundness.
Color
-
Use color to emphasize fullness in your hair and minimize the fullness of your face. Ask a professional stylist or colorist to give you highlights at the crown of your head and lowlights to frame your face to add height and volume. Chunky highlights throughout will add an illusion of length to your hair, which will lengthen your face as well.
-
Add Volume
-
Maximizing the volume of your hair will make it look thicker and minimize your round face. Apply a root-lifting spray or mousse to the roots of your damp hair. Flip your head upside-down and dry your hair with a blow-dryer to inject volume at the crown of your head. Use a round brush to give your ends and bangs an inward flip and infuse additional volume. Experiment with curls, waves, back combing and other volume-boosting techniques.
What to Avoid
-
Stay away from short, blunt-cut bangs, styles that mirror your face's shape and extremely short haircuts that will emphasize the fullness of your face. Avoid chin-length haircuts; they create a round shape and draw attention to a round face. Instead, choose a hairstyle shorter or longer than chin-length. Decrease the fullness of your hair around your ears and cheeks to avoid making your face look wider. Also avoid a solid, flat hair color, parting your hair in the center, cutting your hair all one length and perfectly straight, limp hair.
