Small eyes are considered to be attractive, round faces give us a youthful look, and people with big ears are adorable, just look at Anne Hathaway! There are so many unique features out there that give us our own special charm.
Some people, however, want to fix these things anyway. That’s their choice, but we hope they keep in mind that they can actually do it without surgery. All they need to do is change their hairstyle.
1. Double chin
Cropped haircuts are a big no-no if you have a double chin. Instead, go for bangs and curls, layered, or face-framing haircuts. This way, you’ll draw attention to your hair and not your chin.
Remember that having layers is the trick. They add volume and give the illusion of a narrow face. For short haircut lovers out there, opt for a layered chin-length bob cut, but make sure to keep the ends unevenly cut.
2. Big nose
Choose hairstyles that widen your face so that your nose looks smaller. Different types of bangs do a great job: side-swept, curtain, or layered. You can do your hair up in a messy bun or a ponytail, letting a few strands fall on your head. Try to stay away from short and straight cuts.
3. Big forehead
Bobs with bangs, long or short hair with a central part, or razored bangs look great on people with big foreheads. According to a stylist, horizontal framing, lots of volume, and soft layers are the keys to balancing it all out.
4. Small eyes
Avoid blunt and thick haircuts and focus instead on short hairstyles or low-volume cuts. Bangs are okay, but as long as they don’t cover your eyes and forehead completely. Pixie haircuts accentuate eyes, especially if your eyebrows can be seen well.
5. Round face
Those who want to make their face appear more oval should definitely go for a shaggy wavy bob or face-framing balayage highlights. You can also add more volume on top and leave elongated locks by the sides. Stay away from sleek hairstyles and thick bangs, since horizontal lines will widen your face.
6. Oblong face
People with thin faces have more prominent noses, chins, and necks, and some haircuts can make their faces look even longer. Straight and long hair is a no, while hairstyles that add lots of volume are always welcome. Try a parted shaggy lob, an asymmetrical choppy lob, wispy-layered long hair, or a long wavy center-parted hairstyle.
7. Big ears
It’s not hard to cover ears, yet, it might be challenging to choose only one haircut out of all this diversity. Make sure there’s enough volume and fullness at the sides of your head, and let the hair stand away from the scalp a little bit. Bob haircuts or long and layered hair are a great choice.
How long have you had your current haircut? How easy is it for you to change it?

In Тhе Shаdоw Оf Irоn: Undеrstаnding Оur Неritаgе Тhrоugh Нistоriсаl Аrtifасts
Have you ever visited a history museum or a battlefield with your school, when the teacher would give you a cannonball to hold and demonstrate how heavy it was, describing the sounds of battles and explosions in the open field? These experiences encouraged people to think, and provided a glimpse into our history and the physical reminders of conflicts that defined a country.
Cannonballs, the huge iron balls that used to roll out of the barrels of cannons, are typical relics of warfare of earlier centuries. Its basic yet effective structure was instrumental in battles from the medieval period up to the 19th century. Made from solid or hollow iron, these round shaped projectiles were used to knock down walls, disperse the enemies and to pierce through the sides of the enemy ships.
Cannonballs provide a rich understanding of how wars have been fought and the technologies used in the course of history. Every cannonball found or conserved today has a tale of ancient battles and the unrelenting search for military improvement. They were not just weapons of the warfare but also means that played a role in determining the fate of major battles and thus history. Their application and evolution offer an interesting insight into the creativity and adaptability of the military engineers of the past.
To those who collect antiques, an old cannonball is a precious find, a piece that tells a story of great history. People keep these artifacts as trophies for their historical value and the tales that are told by the rust marks on the items. But it is important that collectors do not mishandle these pieces as some of the older cannonballs may still contain unexploded explosives
Thinking about the cannonball, we recall that people are capable of both dеstruсtiоn and innovation. Nowadays, as we showcase these relics in museums or preserve them as antiques, they become sources of information and topics for discussion that can pique the curiosity of people and make them more aware of history.
In conclusion, whether one considers cannonballs to be valuable collectibles or relics of the past, they remind us to look into the past to learn more about our forebears’ victories and tribulations. They urge people to protect and cherish the culture and history so that the coming generations may be able to understand and feel it as we do.
