5 quick style fixes

HairHair not working for you? Your style may not be complementing your facial features as well as it could be. Here’s 5 quick fixes that will highlight the good and balance the rest.

Long fringes can shorten your face and create a horizontal emphasis - great for someone with a long face.

Short Fringes accentuate your eyes, brows and cheek bones.

Layers have the ability to add volume without weighing you down. They are also great for softening an angular face.

Curls add volume and are a great option if you are trying to balance a large feature like your nose.

Waves can create the illusion of height at your crown, which is perfect for balancing a strong jawline.

Find out about choosing the right style for your face shape here!

this is so true ! long fringes really dont suit people with wide faces it makes it look even shorter it annoys me when people do this! im going to go and get a haircut now raspberry

side fringe, does that count as a long fringe?
Posted by Blah. "on" 09/30 "at"12:03 PM
I have quite a wide nose..what also really gives the illusion that its not big is having big, volumist hair. I plait my hair every night and the result is just what i want..hides my sticking- out ears and balances out my nose
