Flattering Hairstyles for Plus Size Figures

A side part like Emme's helps minimize a
full face.
full face.
1. It should skim the shoulders. A cut that is around shoulder length or slightly longer creates the illusion of a longer, leaner face. Short cuts aren't a good option because they can add more width to an already full face shape.
2. Play with layers. Layered haircuts are ideal for plus size shapes because they can help minimize a double chin and give more definition to the shoulder area. If you have fine hair, layers will also give it a body boost. But make sure you don't get layers that are shorter then chin length, which could add an unflattering wideness to your face.
3. Try a side part. A side part allows you to sweep bangs of face-framing pieces diagonally over your face, which breaks up a round face shape. This style can also bring out your cheekbones.
4. Get gorgeous color. Whether your hair is curly, straight or wavy, chances are you may want to try coloring it at some point in your life. Many women are perfectly content with their natural color, until they start noticing gray hairs peeking through as they age. Your body size really has no impact on what colors you should choose. Ask your colorist to help you choose a natural color most flattering to your skin tone and, unless you want dramatic results, don't try to go more than two shades in either direction of your natural hair color.
Remember, choosing flattering hairstyles for your size can help you look younger and slimmer! So, take your time and do research to figure out what best suits you. Look at celebrities with a similar face shape as yours to get an idea of what works, or download your photo to the Makeover Studio to see exactly how your favorite hairstyles will look on you!

i will never need this i am 16 and i weight 65lbs
never say never.....
you will never be 165cm tall and at the same time weigh 65lbs.
o.k you might want to stay in school because it says plus size!!!!da and if you only weigh 65lb then there is great concern for you ...your parents should be watching closely!!!!!!
Well... That sounds healthy.
In reality, you're probably extremely overweight and the internet is the one place you can live out your unhealthy underweight fantasy.
Ha just wait.
Trust me, sweetheart, that WILL change. When I was 16, I was 110 lbs. (size 4). But now I'm 35, I'm a size 10-11 and 150 lbs.
Your weight will change and you won't stay that tiny forever. Trust me on that one.
So, why are you on here and you're so tiny? I guess because you are SOOOO proud of your tiny build, that you just want to rub it in the rest of us, right??!! WHATEVER....
webgirl00. 65 lbs is UNHEALTHY! Get some help.
You never know what can happen! I never weighed over 105 lbs.until I was put on medication that I need to take for the rest of my life. One of the side effects is "weight gain". Now, I'm 60 lbs. heavier!
then why in the f***ing world did you read it you nimbwhit
wow, i am almost 13 and i weigh 94 lb, and i don't think i need this either...
I think people like you like comming on sites to make their selfs feel better by puting down plus sizes so please we don't care how much you weigh but I'm more cocern no one is watching what sites you go to since you are just a little girl...you can get in big trouble doing that....

OMG YOUR NOT EVEN A TEENAGER GO CHANGE YOUR DIPPER OR SOMETHING OR GO DO YOU HOMEWORK LOL. THIS LIL GIRLS THIS TIME THEY THINK THERE SO OLD OMG SHES ALMOST A TEENAGER LOL...
Then why would you come to this article if you're not plus size? If you are sooo skinny then clearly your not plus size and obviously you don't need this article!
OMG GIRL YOUR JUST 16 YOUR BODY IS GOING TO CHANGE TRUST ME...
these are great tips i am overwieght for my age and these will help me on my journey to lose weight.
I like when these skinny, young girls come on here and think they are going to be their weight forever.
Let me tell you something, very young ones, it don't last long. By 30-35 years old, you'll mostly likely will be 20 or more pounds bigger than you were at 13. Okay? So, stop bragging about your little tiny body and just be a little girl that you are.
I thought this webpage was to help plus size women find a good hairstyle for themselves. I come on here and see that little immature girls are talking s**t, get a life and go do your damn homework.
