From time to time, everyone has been disappointed after a session at the hairdresser. It can happen because your idea is not always understood and implemented like you thought it would be. Or it can happen that not all cuts are suitable for every face shape. Each face would needs a cut that enhances its lines and enhances its strong points.

Those with a round face, for example, often look for ways to make their face appear longer and slimmer, but this don't always succeed. A well done cut can satisfy this need. There are some cuts, in particular, that hair stylists recommend to easily achieve this goal. These are listed below:

For many, long hair is a source of pride. And often, for those with a round face, it is recommended to have long hair which is not tied up. However, length is not always enough to slim down a face. In reality, if the hair becomes too heavy and flat, it can even have the opposite effect. The ideal, for those who want a long cut and have a round face, is to cut the hair by trimming them with asymmetrical locks, to give volume and create movement.

For long cuts - and also for shorter cuts - another way to make the face appear longer is using frayed bangs on the side. The bangs will immediately give a slightly more bohemian look and the fact that it is on the side and frayed, will immediately make the face appear slimmer.

There are those who opt for a short cut, despite having a round face. A short cut is a wild card in the hands of those who need practicality and coolness. A highly recommended short cut is the so-called "pixie cut". If worn frayed and with more attention spent to volume and length in the area between the ears and the cheekbones, it can help in trying to slim down the face.

And then there are the medium length cuts which are the really best ones to make a face appear slimmer. The so-called "bob" is a great classic. It is usually longer in the front and shorter in the back, it is always a little frayed and it is preferable to wear it unbrushed. Since the front is long enough to cover the jaw, the slimming effect is guaranteed. And this is a really cool and very fashionable cut.

The "lob" is short for "long bob" and is, in fact, a slightly longer and less trimmed bob than the classic bob. It is a simple, but elegant way of wearing hair and, whether it is wavy or smooth, it guarantees harmony and slimming for slightly rounder faces. Thanks to its characteristics, it is versatile and really suitable for everyone.

You just have to ask the hairdresser for your favorite cut among these types and you will be amazed by the results.
