If you have a larger forehead, you’re not alone—and the right haircut can help balance and flatter your unique face shape. Certain styles work wonders for drawing attention to your best features, framing your face, and creating harmony.
From strategic bangs to layers and creative parting, these hairstyles are designed to complement and enhance your natural beauty. Here are 15 of the best haircuts that will give you confidence and help balance a larger forehead.
1. Side-Swept Bangs
Side-swept bangs are perfect for creating a softer look while reducing the focus on the forehead. They create a diagonal line that balances the face and works well with various lengths and textures.
2. Wispy Fringe
A wispy fringe adds a soft, textured look that doesn’t overwhelm the face. The lightness of the fringe frames the forehead without making it the center of attention, giving a subtle balance.

Curtain bangs part down the middle and blend into your hair on each side, giving a retro look that’s flattering for larger foreheads. This style adds softness and frames the face in a chic, effortless way.
4. Layered Lob (Long Bob)
A layered lob is versatile and adds volume around the face, which can help balance a larger forehead. The layers bring movement, drawing attention to the cheekbones and jawline.
5. Textured Shag
A textured shag works wonders with its playful layers and relaxed vibe. The shaggy layers add volume throughout, giving a casual look that distracts from the forehead and highlights your natural texture.

A deep side part can create a face-framing effect that minimizes the forehead’s appearance. It’s a simple adjustment that can work wonders, adding instant sophistication to your look.

An asymmetrical bob, with one side longer than the other, gives a contemporary edge while balancing the forehead. The asymmetry draws attention away from the forehead and adds a touch of drama.

A pixie cut with side bangs is a bold option that still complements a larger forehead. The side bangs soften the look, and the short length brings attention to your eyes and cheekbones.
11. Soft Curls with Side Parting
Soft curls with a side parting add volume around the sides of the face, creating a balanced effect. The curls add fullness, which makes the forehead appear more proportional to the rest of the face.
