Best Hairstyles for Big Foreheads

Although Olivia sometimes prefers to slick her hair back and proudly show off her large forehead, she also has incredible taste in bangs hairstyles when she decides to cover the top half of her face. Olivia’s bangs are full-coverage, but they are not heavy which makes this a great look for girls who want to avoid making a dramatic or blunt statement with their bangs. Full-coverage bangs that come straight down are a super strategic way to give the illusion of a smaller forehead because the beginning of your hairline appears ambiguous. In addition to using bangs to disguise the height of her forehead, Olivia also styled her long hair so that it frames her cheekbones which softly disguises the width of her forehead. This gorgeous look is flattering on generously foreheaded girls with any face shape!

Rihanna is a style icon for ladies with larger foreheads because she always works an incredible hairstyle that not only flatters her face structure, but also expresses her fun and edgy style. Wavy bob and fringe, like Rihanna’s are smart choices for women with larger foreheads for two main reasons. First, the slightly parted fringe immediately cuts the forehead in half and draws attention to your gorgeous eyes. Second, the bob cut that’s behind the ears brings the eye downward and away from your forehead. This means that you don’t need to be self-conscious about your forehead since everyone will be too busy admiring your stylish cut and gorgeous eyes to notice anything else!

Rachel is one of our favorite ladies with a generously sized forehead. This hairstyle is the perfect example of a look that flatters large foreheads without actually covering any portion of the forehead.

In proportion to her glamorously tall hair, Rachel’s forehead looks to be average, even below average, in size.

This look is so gorgeous and exudes elegance which makes it the perfect updo for girls to wear to special events!

Although it may seem counter-intuitive, Angelina Jolie creates the illusion of a smaller and more proportionate forehead by actually adding width to her look.

Middle and side hair parts are also great ways to visually break up an expansive forehead which helps create the illusion of a proportionate forehead. This beautiful look is versatile which makes it perfect for both elegant and casual occasions!
