Is My Head Too Big?! How to Make It Smaller — Recommended Treatments

When you feel “my head is big!” you probably want to shrink it, or at least find a way to make it look smaller.

While it’s difficult to shrink the actual size of your head, several methods and treatments can make it look smaller.

This article introduces ways to make your head look smaller and KADOMORI’s recommended treatments.

What Causes a Big Head?

Have you ever worried that “my head might be big…”?

Actually, many factors are involved in head size.

Skeletal distortion, hormonal influence, and tightness in the expression muscles — small daily habits can all be causes.

Even without realizing it, you may be unknowingly making your head look bigger. First, it’s important to know the cause. Here we introduce what causes a big head.

Skeletal Distortion

The skeleton is involved in head size.

The skull is made up of dozens of bones joined together, and it’s said that the joints between these bones can become distorted through small habits.

For example, do you have a habit of resting your chin on your hand, or often spend time hunched over?

Also watch out if you tend to chew only on one side during meals, or always carry heavy items on the same side.

Accumulating these habits can gradually shift the skeleton and affect the shape of your head.

Skeletal distortion doesn’t change drastically right away, but continuing over a long period can make your head look larger.

Being mindful of your everyday posture and using your body in a balanced way is important.

Influence of Male Hormones

Hormonal influence also can’t be ignored when it comes to head size.

Male hormones in particular are said to be involved.

Male hormones create “masculine” traits like body build and body hair thickness, but they actually exist in women’s bodies too.

Those with higher male hormone levels tend to develop muscle more easily and have a sturdier skeleton, which can result in the head looking bigger.

This isn’t limited to men — women with higher male hormone levels can be affected similarly.

Hormone secretion is greatly influenced by constitution and genetics, but it also changes with stress and lifestyle habits.

Making time to relax and taking care of your body are key points for regulating hormonal balance.

Stiffened Expression Muscles

People who don’t move their expressions much on a daily basis tend to have stiff expression muscles.

When the expression muscles stiffen, facial sagging and puffiness become more noticeable, which can make the face and head look bigger overall.

Watch out if you rarely show emotion outwardly, or are always tense.

When the expression muscles aren’t used, the facial muscles weaken.

As a result, the facial line can collapse, potentially causing a double chin or a widening of the face’s width.

The expression muscles can be trained by consciously moving them.

Practicing smiling in front of a mirror every day, or simply moving your mouth firmly while speaking, can make a difference.

Enriching your expressions may be the secret to preventing a big head.

Teeth Grinding

Many people actually grind their teeth unconsciously while sleeping at night.

Teeth grinding often involves clenching the back teeth strongly, which can develop the jaw muscles.

If this continues, the jaw angle can widen, spreading out the whole facial contour.

Especially when the jaw muscles strengthen, the whole head can take on a sturdier impression, making not just the face but the head look bigger too.

Since teeth grinding is often caused by stress and fatigue, creating a relaxing environment is important.

Using a mouthguard is one method. It can ease the effects of teeth grinding, so if it concerns you, consult a dentist.

Genetic Factors

The human skeleton is strongly influenced by genetics.

If your parents or grandparents have big heads, you may inherit a similar skeleton.

A genetically inherited skeleton is difficult to change on your own.

Aside from surgery, you basically have to accept it as is.

That said, you can create a balanced impression through your choice of hairstyle and fashion.

What Are the Methods for Shrinking Your Head (Skull)?

When you feel your head is big, many people have thought “I want it to look at least a little smaller…”

While shrinking the actual skull is difficult, reviewing your scalp massage habits and lifestyle can reduce puffiness and create a cleaner impression.

Cosmetic surgery is also an option, but we recommend first trying methods you can do yourself.

Here we introduce two representative methods for shrinking your head.

Scalp Massage

Scalp massage is recommended for those concerned about head size.

While it doesn’t shrink the actual skull, softening the scalp and improving blood and lymph flow can reduce puffiness in the face and head.

As a result, you may achieve a cleaner-looking impression.

Simply massaging your scalp gently with your fingertips each day while shampooing is effective.

It can also offer a relaxing effect, potentially helping relieve stress too.

Rather than rubbing hard, it’s important to apply just enough pressure to feel pleasant.

A stiff scalp impairs blood flow and can cause dullness and sagging in the face.

Incorporate scalp care and aim for a healthy, tightened impression.

Cosmetic Surgery

For those who want to fundamentally change their head size, cosmetic surgery is one option.

Surgery to shave down the skull or reduce the jaw angle are representative examples.

However, since these carry risk and cost, choosing a clinic and treatment menu carefully is necessary.

Recently, more treatments have also emerged that refine the facial line without shaving bone.

Less invasive methods like liposuction and lifting exist too, so choose a method that fits your wishes and constitution.

Cosmetic surgery offers immediate results, but it’s important to consult thoroughly with a doctor and proceed only once you’re satisfied.

As one means of building self-confidence, it may be worth considering with a positive outlook.
