Want a Sharp Jawline? Try a New Hairstyle

Not everyone is born with the ideal face shape, but what's that anyway? Many Asians dream of a sculpted face, which has resulted in high demand for cosmetic procedures. Usually, the goal is to have a sharp jawline that can cut glass, as they say.

You don’t need any reason to want a more defined jaw; the heart wants what it wants. The good thing is, you don’t need to go under the knife or get all sorts of treatments to achieve it. Just get a haircut. Here are some of the best hairstyles for a sharper jawline, or to flatter a sharp chin.

A good haircut can help you create the illusion of a sharp jawline while highlighting your other features. Don’t shy away from short hairstyles like pixie cuts. Choose a style with longer layers at the top for more volume at the crown. It allows you to style it, drawing attention from the bottom half of your face while highlighting your eyes or cheekbones.

Lengthen the look of your face and slim the jawline with a graduated or angled bob. The style carries more weight at the top with longer layers around the face, helping draw focus upward. Talk to your stylist about the most flattering length for your face shape. You don’t necessarily have to cover your jawline to make it look slimmer. Want to go punk? Try black hair with dyed tips!

These hairstyles create lots of soft movement around the face, creating balance. Your hair can be straight, wavy, or curly, and it would still work. Volume and strategically placed layers can make your face look sharper and more angular. Plus, you can wear your hair down whenever your face feels puffy. Or, you can take advantage of sea salt spray benefits by spritzing it on dry locks for more volume.

A shaggy cut creates a lot of volume and draws the eye toward the piece-y layers that camouflage the lower half of the face. Add depth on top with a face-framing fringe or curtain bangs for balance. Texturize your layers with wax for a more rock ‘n’ roll vibe or wear them sleek for a more classic style. Enhance the look by contouring the sides of your cheekbones.

Although long hairstyles can easily camouflage a soft jawline, you don't want your hair to lie flat against your face. Long layers with waves or curls are lighter and look more youthful. While this style doesn’t necessarily make the jawline appear narrower, it does attract a lot of attention – as big hair usually does. Show these long hair inspirations to your stylist on your next salon visit!
