How to Hide a Big Forehead

Choose the ideal haircut. In order to hide a big forehead, you're best choosing a perfect hair cut. It is best to avoid having a shaved head or wearing your hair very short if you are a man. Let your hair grow a little so you can comb it to one side. When it comes to women, the issue is easier to address. Just grow a fringe so the problem is solved.

Bangs

For women, the ideal haircut is one with bangs. You should choose which type of bangs to hide your forehead suit your face shape, though we don't advise you to choose a straight and short-cut fringe, as it will still make your forehead seem larger.

Instead, choose longer layered and blunt bangs to disguise the area.

Layers

Again, layering is everything, so if you have long hair, your best option is to layer your hair, this will make it fall across your face and create volume on the sides of your head, disguising your forehead and taking attention off the area. If you have short layers up to your eyes choose side partings, though if they are longer the best option is to have a parting in the middle and let your hair disguise the forehead on either side of your face.

Avoid certain hairstyles. It is recommended that you avoid wearing high ponytails with all your hair pulled back when wanting to cover a large forehead, as this merely accentuates it. Opt for wearing your hair loose and allow strands to fall onto your face. Check our recommendations for hairstyles to help hide a large forehead.

If you want an elaborate hairdo, create a sensation of volume in your hair by creating a half-up half-down look, creating a bun at the top of your head. Just make sure you have some strands sliding down your face sweetly or a thick fringe so you can cover your forehead.

Another updo that's useful if you have long hair is to make a side parting and create a low side on one side of your head.

Accessories are a good option for covering a large forehead. The following will help disguise a large forehead:

• Hats
• Baseball caps
• Berets
• Head scarves

These are all valid options and will allow you to lose a few centimeters off your forehead. However, remember they should cover the root of your hair too, they should not divide your forehead in half, or it will create the opposite effect by highlighting your forehead.

However they're great for both summer and winter, either to be fresher or to be warmer.

Another way of concealing a large forehead is to wax your eyebrows into a slightly triangular or arched shape. Raised eyebrows create an optical illusion that your forehead is smaller. Check our article on how to pluck your eyebrows according to your face shape.

Keep your eye makeup simple and natural too, avoid smoky eyes and boost the color of your lips instead, so go for rouge, pink or coral on your lips.

You can also conceal a large forehead with makeup. You just need a concealer that is a little darker than your natural skin tone or bronzer to contour the hair root line.

Apply this product to your hairline at the top of your forehead. This will create a dark shadow that will make your face look smaller. Blend with your fingers right down to the temple and lock with some mattifier.

Finally, another alternative for hiding a large forehead is to wear big sunglasses. Big sunglasses draw the attention away from your forehead and onto your eyes, making it appear narrower. Buy sunglasses you like the most and say goodbye to your problem, though cat eye-shaped glasses are the perfect match,
