Two of the biggest helpers for a big forehead are shorter lengths — which makes the face look wider, thus making the forehead look smaller — and volume, which makes the face look smaller overall. "A shorter haircut is always better to disguise a bigger forehead," celebrity George Northwood told Byrdie. "If you think your head looks long, then you need to create width in your hair."
Keeping things short and full of volume leaves the door open for a lot of different hairstyles, from afros to a short shag. To choose which short, voluminous haircut you want, consider things like your face shape, your lifestyle, and how much time and effort you want to spend on your hair. These factors can help you decide between, say, a wash-and-go bob or a high-maintenance pompadour. Whichever hairstyle you choose, it's always a good idea to incorporate a little layering around the face to emphasize your features. "Shorter chin- to collarbone-length pieces will really help to soften up the hairline around the face and forehead," hairstylist Jordan M told Byrdie.
