  • Question
    My crush likes me back, and he said he would only date me if my forehead wasn't as big, how do I make it smaller?
    Community Answer
    You cannot actually make your forehead smaller, and if a boy says this to you, you should find a different crush. If he doesn't like you for you, he's not worth it.

    Try not showing interest in what they saying. If they approach you try saying "What's your point guys" they'll will feel more disorganized. If you feel you are getting bullied, go to your principal or teacher. In most places they are obligated to deal with bullying.

    My forehead gets extremely oily throughout the day, so I am advised to keep my hair tied back from my face, but my forehead is big. What can I do?

    Face powder and contouring will be your best friend! Face power will help soak up oil (also easy to reapply throughout the day), and contouring will help you shape your forehead, along with the rest of your face.

    Grow it out and define your hair with a detangling wet brush. This will make it easier to style it for bangs.

  • Question
    I want my forehead to look smaller but I can't wear make up or wear accessories and I look really bad in bangs. Is there any other way to make my forehead look smaller?
    Community Answer
    You could try to wear your hair in a side part, updo, or have it cut in layers - essentially, more volume evens out your facial structure by adding width to height. You could also try to frame your face with your hair a bit more, wearing the sections right on the sides of your face more to the front.

    Try taking a picture of yourself and giving yourself bangs using an art/editing app. If it looks good, you should get bangs! If it doesn't, try the other tips or style your hair another way.

    How do I make my forehead look smaller when I have a big forehead?
    Community Answer
    You could contour it or get bangs to draw attention away from it. You could also just do a loose style with part of your hair framing your face. Some studies show that an attractive "flaw" is big foreheads, so if you got it flaunt it. For some people it signifies a big thinker.

    A low, loose updo or bangs. Try that, if not, try dramatic eye makeup for a focal point that is not your forehead.
  • Question
    What hairstyle should I have if I have a large forehead?
    Community Answer
    Bangs are good for hiding your forehead. Try not to pull your hair up too tight, because it pulls your hairline back and will make your forehead appear larger. Wearing your hair down and using some dry shampoo will give your hair more volume and distract people from your forehead.
  • Question
    What can I do when people tease me for having a big head and a wide face?
    Community Answer
    You just have to do a bit of research on different hairstyles that suit your face. The key is learning to like yourself first. If you don't like yourself, you come across as awkward. But if you pretend to be confident, people wont care that much. If you have a wide face, try a middle parting or keep your hair framing the sides of your face. Also, pull out wispy strands at the top of your head to make your forehead look smaller.
