Pregnancy: 10 tall hairstyles to slim your face (slide)

When we are pregnant, weight gain and hormones sometimes tend to make us “bloat” more than necessary, to the point that we sometimes have trouble looking at ourselves or recognizing ourselves in the mirror. If having a rounder face need not worry, it can sometimes confuse pregnant women who are already subject to a whole bunch of changes that they have to get used to. Like makeup, hairstyle can nevertheless help to reduce this “round cheeks” effect, and to smooth the features of the face to make it appear more elongated. If the idea of ​​a thinning haircut doesn’t ring a bell, we can do a hairstyle that will give the impression of a thinner face, without affecting our lengths.

Concretely, the idea is todraw the eye elsewhere than on the curves of the face. For this, it is advisable to opt for high bun or ponytail hairstyles, which will create an optical illusion by lengthening the face. However, it is not recommended to put the hair too much on the head. Hairdressers always recommend leave some loose strands around the face, or sideways slanted bangs, almost down to the cheek. We prefer an asymmetrical rounded fringe to a straight and short fringe. As for the ponytail, it is better for it to be “relaxed”, relaxed rather than too tight, and why not embellished with an accessory that catches the eye (scrunchie, knot…), always leaving a few rebellious strands on the before.

Bun bun, braided bun, banana bun, fringed bun, Lady Gaga knot bun, double bun… Discover our selection of hairstyle tutorials to easily refine your face, without going through the hairdresser box.
