broad forehead female - #15513
I am a bit worried about my appearance lately, like I've noticed that my broad forehead female friends keeps talking about their hair styles and how it works for them, but I'm not sure if it suits me. I've always had a broad forehead, and in my teenage years, I really struggled with self-esteem issues regarding it. I mean, I see my friends with smaller foreheads, and they seem to have it easier when it comes to styling their hair and choosing bangs or whatever. I tried some hairstyles to cover it up, like side-swept bangs, but nothing feels really right? Does a broad forehead female typical enhance the look or, like, totally change it? Should I be trying to make it look less broad or, like, lean into it? I've read some articles about how celebs own their broad foreheads and rock it, while some others say it can affect perceptions of beauty. Honestly, I'm torn! Is there a way to embrace this broad forehead female feature without feeling awkward? Any tips would be super helpful - I just want to feel confident and find a way to style my hair that doesn’t make it look even bigger. What works for you?

Doctors’ responses
It’s understandable that you’re contemplating the aesthetics of broad foreheads and how to best style your hair around it. From a medical perspective, your forehead size or shape doesn’t influence your health, but it’s completely normal to have concerns about appearance as it ties into confidence and self-esteem. Broad foreheads are quite common and can indeed be styled in a way that feels right for you. Balancing personal comfort with style preferences is key. Though I’m not a hairstylist, I can provide some general suggestions that might help. Side-swept bangs, like you’ve tried, can certainly be flattering as they add dimension and create a softer frame for your face. Another option is to try layered hairstyles; these can add volume and texture, which can divert attention from the breadth of the forehead. You might also experiment with styles that create volume at the crown, drawing the eye upward rather than to the forehead itself. Consulting a professional stylist can give you personalized advice and possibly demonstrate various styles that suit your face shape and hair type. Consider discussing styles that gang celebrities use to highlight a broad forehead, allowing a blend of personal expression with inspiration from iconic looks. Exploring what makes you feel confident is fundamentally important, and remember that beauty standards are subjective – style is about expressing your unique self, so own it.
