A Word on Hairstyles for Women with Big Noses

Plenty of hairstyles are not one size fits all. Many styles are known to only flatter certain head and face shapes. Although discouraging at times, hairstyles for women with big noses can be equally as hip and stylish as the rest.

If you happen to have a fabulously distinctive nose, you can choose to emphasize your nose’s shape and live life feeling blessed with all your beautiful characteristics, or you can try your hand at a hairstyle that can flatter and balance this unique attribute.

What to Avoid

If you’re certain you’d like a style that minimizes the appearance of a large nose, the following tips are pertinent to keep in mind.

  • Avoid short hair styles. Although cute, many pixie style hair cuts will only emphasize the appearance of a large nose. Pixie cuts are best for petite frames and petite features.
  • Watch the bangs. Hair styles with bangs create breaks in the face, though placing a bang strategically can work wonders on the face. Not only can an artistically placed bang lengthen the face, it can also widen it, shorten it, slenderize it, and emphasize features. Be careful what features you highlight as you create a visual break.
  • Watch sharp edges. Your haircut should be soft and blended rather than edgy and straight.
  • Avoid flat hair. While sedu hair styles are a popular of the moment hair style, flat and limp locks can emphasize a large nose.
  • Be careful with eye makeup. If your eye makeup is working to create the visual appearance of close set eyes, it’s also adding to the illusion of a large nose. Look for eye makeup tips that widen the eyes and implement these techniques to minimize your prominent facial features.

Flattering Styles

Once you’ve got the list of what to avoid, it’s time to move into hair style ideas that will flatter your features. Hair style magazines are a great place to find inspiration. Keep in mind that the following tips will help balance a large nose.

  • Layers. Layered hair style will add softness to your features while creating visual interest that distracts the eye from focusing on a prominent nose.
  • Soft wave and curl. Waves and curls widen the face, which in turn shrinks the nose. Set hair in rollers or opt for a loose perm to create visual softness.
  • Color. Unique and edgy hair color makes your style, rather than your nose, the focus. Find a colorist who has some great ideas to make your hairstyle edgy, without breaking up the soft cut.
  • Length. Generally medium to long hair works best on women with large noses. A longer style also allows you the freedom to play with rollers and updo styles which will add volume elsewhere when you need it.

How to Soften the Look

In order to soften this most prominent facial feature, choose your makeup palette carefully. Although many women use makeup shading tips to distract from their noses, you can also play up one particular feature, such as your eyes, and put the focus where you want it rather than covering up or hiding features that you’re self conscious about. Eyewear can also enhance or distract from certain features. Get creative and try on different styles and create a look that balances your assets.

Come to Terms

No matter the cut, the success of any style – including hairstyles for women with big noses – boils down to wearability. If you feel comfortable sporting a style that may or may not enhance your nose shape, then by all means, wear it! The most beautiful feature anyone can have is acceptance. Once you’ve come to terms with all your unique traits, you’ll find yourself able to take on any hair style with confidence..

Steph, you'll want to grow your hair longer to help balance your face, but in the meantime you can opt for layers that will add volume and bounce to your style. Enjoy!

I made the mistake of cutting my hair short kinda bucket style. I dyed it as well, it was supposed to go blonde but it went orange. After some research I figured out what happened lol. But what hairstyle should I get? I have blue eyes, thick, kindof wavy hair. It doesn't suit my face at all, please someone help me! Oh and i'm almost 16, if that helps :p
