The Most Flattering Haircut For Your Body Type

Curvy and full-figured body types shouldn't shy away from big hair. According to Silvia Reis, long sleek hair on curvy women creates an illusion that your hair is thin and your body is bigger (via YouTube). If you want to achieve balance, opt for a more voluminous hairstyle to stay in proportion with your body, such as wavy hair or layers. Full-figured bodies should use this same philosophy when considering length.

More suggests staying away from a dramatic short crop, too. Instead, go for a medium-length cut, about shoulder length, with extra angles like a side part or side bang to maintain volume and balance. If you're looking to appear taller or slimmer, Reis recommends adding some volume to the crown of the head. "Anything that creates attention and brings the eye to the face," she says.

If you're used to a shorter cut, go for it! It will always grow back, right? Remember to keep the length somewhere between your chin and shoulders to balance out the top and bottom of the body (via Live About). Most importantly, embrace those curves!
