Women come in all shapes and sizes and the truth is that all women are as beautiful as they feel. It’s all about confidence and attitude, and regardless of age or size, we can look incredibly stunning every day. However, when it comes to our hair, certain hairstyles work better on different people because of face shape, age, hair texture or – let’s be honest, our weight. Below are the best hairstyles for plus size women, but it’s important to keep your own facial features in mind.
These are your face shape, cheekbones and your skin tone. Also consider the length of your neck. Some hairstyles don’t suit short necks while others don’t suit long necks. After knowing all this, choosing a flattering hairstyle becomes easy.
Hairstyles for plus size women
Bob chin length
This chin-length bob is one of the most versatile hairstyles for plus size women. A short length can help elongate the neck, and you can add bangs or waves for texture. Aside from being a time-consuming hairstyle, we love how well it flatters our face shape. It is perfect for plus size women with straight hair.
Straight and smooth Pixie
We love pixies for their versatility, and this popular hairstyle is also very affordable and easy to manage. And no, this style does not make you “old” as many people assume. If anything, it makes you look younger and accentuates your natural facial features. This is one of the best hairstyles for plus size women of all types and ages. If you have thin hair and would like to try a pixie cut, we suggest you opt for this straight and smooth look.
Layered wavy hair
All eyes will be on you rocking this style, whether it’s a wedding, prom, office dinner, or just at your son’s soccer game. Textured layers add body to the hair, giving the effect that your hair is full and thick, while side bangs that fall away from your face help to frame and slim your face. This style looks better on highlighted hair than on single hair.
Mid Parted Bob:
This is another great option for curvy women. A wavy parted bob flows beautifully, giving you that feminine touch. We love how this style enhances the look of the face.
Short spiky hair
Some hairstyles just never go out of style, like short, spiky look. It’s been around for centuries, and every year a new version comes out. We love it because it’s a low-maintenance hairstyle that doesn’t require constant styling and manipulation. We also believe that tall women short, spiky styles look fabulous. The trick to nailing this style is getting it right with size, length and color. This style is mostly suitable for casual events.
Messy Bob With Bangs
Bobs tend to be one of the most popular hairstyles for older women because of how easy they are to manage. Add bangs and a messy look to add volume and you’ll have a style to remember. This is the perfect hairstyle for plus size women with all face shapes.
Simple long and straight hair
Long, straight hair seems to be the age-old hairstyle for plus-size women. It makes them look simple yet elegant. In addition, it is an inexpensive style that does not need constant styling and can be worn for any occasion.
Trendy medium length waves or curls
If there are facial features that you would like to hide, this is the rock style. Trendy medium length curls suit plus size women of all face shapes and hair textures. We love that you can pull off so many looks for so many different occasions with this one style.
Long curly hairstyle
Here is another classic hairstyle for plus size women. This curly hairstyle looks amazing whether your hair is long or medium. It suits oval and diamond shaped women best and can be worn at parties, weddings or any other social gathering.
Lob hairstyle
Bobbers come in many variations. A lob, also called a long bob, looks more flattering on chubby faces. It frames the face, making it look slim and sleek. This style is suitable for all occasions and can be worn by women of all ages.
Half Up Bun:
Another simple and easy hairstyle that can make your chubby face look slimmer is the half up bun. This classic chic hairstyle disguises a double chin and enhances other more attractive features of your face, such as your eyes.
Sleek and swept ponytail
Abandon your skepticism and try a sleek and swept ponytail. Contrary to what you may believe, this will not enhance your double chin, but will show off your long neck and body curves. High tails also draw people’s attention upwards and generally have a more slimming effect than low tails. Pair it with chunky or long earrings for a great look and get the perfect hairstyle for dinner, a party or a night out.
Short, curly hair with bangs
A short, curly bob haircut with long bangs frames your face to make it look slimmer. If you want to look younger, try this hairstyle.
