Okay let’s face it–this time of year is when the holiday pounds slowly start to creep on. First there’s Halloween and all that bitesized candy that slowly transitions into turkey, gravy and loads of mac n’ cheese and then it’s holiday parties, mulled wine, and a bevy of baked goods. The opportunities for cheat days are seemingly endless. Our approach? Serve yourself a second plate (or four) and style up your ‘do in the most flattering way possible. Below, our favorite slimming hairstyles to thin out your face for when you’ve chowed down on a few to many pumpkin pies.

Half-up Half-Down With Body
A tousled, bedhead ‘do pulled into a half-up half-down pony adds height to the crown, slimming out round faces and jawlines.
Tip: Don’t be afraid to up the anti on your backcomb for a dramatic, Brigette Bardot moment.

Teased Pony
While a super slicked back ponytail can enhance fuller faces, a textured, teased ponytail does just the opposite. The fuller the ponytail, the slimmer the face looks, so go wild with that texture. Plus, this is great if you’re entertaining or cooking all day and don’t want to deal with your hair.

Low Bun With Face Framers
Face-framing pieces create the illusion that your face is thinner by breaking up the roundness. Think about it, they basically cover a quarter of your face! Paired with a low bun, this is a sweet, elevated look that’s guaranteed to slimmmmm.

High Bun
You know what they say, the higher the hair the slimmer the face. Okay–no one actually says that but they should because a super high bun draws your eye up. The more height you can add to the crown of your head, the better.
)
Messy Side Styles
One of the easiest, and most flattering styles, is a messy side swept style. Read: side braid or side pony with a bit of texture and volume at the root.

Short, Texture Lob
Most people associate short hair with being less flattering than longer locks. And even though longer hair tends to be more flattering, it doesn’t mean that short hair can’t be flattering. The trick? Load up on tousled texture. The fuller the hair the slimmer the face!
