- To add roundness to the chin area of the face wear a hairstyle that is layered, doing so adds body around the lower part of the face. Waves should be soft and angled toward the jaw and cheekbones so they fall toward the face and soften a pointy chin. Use a leave in conditioner to eliminate frizz and mold the waves into a soft s-shape.
- Bobs that are cut at a chin level can help you to achieve the effect of width. Stay away from bobs that have a sharp line however. They should be layered towards the bottom to create volume and soften the chin line. Waves should be scrunched with a mousse or gel to form a soft curl line at the bottom of the hair.
- Wear a side part to detract attention from the middle of the face which may accentuate a pointy chin. In addition, a wispy bang helps to camouflage a wide forehead of the heart-shaped face. Have the bangs texturized heavily to remove excess wave. Use texturizing shears to cut bangs about a 1/2 an inch from the ends until they are the desired thickness. Texturizing shears can be purchased at a beauty supply store or online.
- Short wavy hair can be worn in a pixie shape that is wispy around the cheekbones and flat on the top to detract from the length of the chin. The hair should be cut short on the sides to eliminate extra width. Wispy bangs will help to hide the width of the forehead and any height should be worn in the crown area.
- Ukhairdressers.com recommends adding highlights to the hair in the area surrounding the face and above the ear area to accentuate the width of the chin. The hair above the highlights should be slightly darker to detract from the width of the upper cheekbones and forehead. Use a Baylayage hair color technique to add highlights to waves by following the wave pattern for best results.
