The key is contrast! When your hair is big and voluminous, your face will look smaller and slimmer in comparison. Try a layered cut with big waves to add volume all around your face. Check out some ideas for curly hairstyles according to your face shape.

Make sure to maintain volume in the lower section of your hair to help create a balanced look. Voluminous hair around your face but not below your chin will make your face look wider!

If your face is wider at your forehead or cheekbones, long bangs that part in the centre and end below your cheekbones will softly frame your face, making it look slimmer. Curl your hair for a glamorous look that will make your face look even leaner!
