Best hairstyle for fat faces?

[babyboots]

Currently have long, brown, straight, fine-but-lots of it hair.

I am also enormously fat and have a double chin although I don't have a round face and still have high cheekbones and a longish pointy nose...

I purposely kept my hair long thinking it would keep me looking younger (am 42) and not frumpy. However it's not in great shape and I worry now it just makes me look like an aging hippy. Had purposely avoided shorter bob type styles thinking they would age me and make me look old.

Any suggestions?

Shorter than a bob I think.

You sound as if you have quite a long face despite the double chin, so I'd be wary of going too short or not having a fringe. I think I'd keep it longish but with some choppy layers so attention was drawn more to the sides and not to the chin are, which seems to be what you like least.

that should say "chin area"!

Like cropped? Won't I just then look older? I mean I know I look bad but maybe I'm just desperately trying not to look worse...I did have very short hair when I was thin but just don't think I could pull it off now

I suggest a long A line bob front longer than the back with the frong being just past sholder length. Maybe get it ombre ? I have a similar body shape and got loads of good comments with that hair

Front not frong 😂

This is what i was trying to explain

Wow that's really fab colour. Thanks for the ideas...

yes keep it at least shoulder length

I consider that I have a fattish face although I'm not overweight. I'm also 42. When my hair is shorter it definitely looks fatter. I've longish hair, with a fringe. I'm going to the hairdresser this Saturday and going to suggest something like this. But unless he can also give the model's 20 something yr old face I'm guessing it won't have the desired affect!!

Got it now

How does one achieve that tousled look? I'd love to know anddoes it take hours?

Like that pic- never had a fringe before though... seems a big commitment!
