It's just a tip or an idea. Why are you all putting beauty standards into this? Is the insecurity level that high? Nothing positive in your life anymore?
I realized it at such a young age and couldn't explain it to anyone, cause people wouldn't understand it properly. Finally it's being talked about. High cranial top makes really big difference. Also fluffier hair on the top makes a face look smaller and more proportionate.
I noticed it too! For convenience I always put my hair up in tighter hairstyles (i.e. neat high ponytails and the like), but I noticed sometimes when I do messier ponytails and there is a weird bump in the middle of my hair it actually made my face look better in some explicable way. I didn't realise this was an actual thing, but looking back I guess it was because the upper portion of my face is a little smaller than the 1:1:1 ratio so adding a bit of volume up top fools the eye a little!
Same. I always explained as if I had a short forehead, so I needed to pull a ‘Amy Whinehouse’ to make it seem like it was bigger, wich made everyone think I as was crazy for thinking that because I don’t have a short forehead at all indeed, it’s hella normal but I just couldn’t understand what it was myself in order to explain properly 🤦🏼♀️ I’m so glaad I found this 🥲
Same! I got my hair permed when I was a child and didn’t it like it when it was at first bone straight and flat to my head, i always felt like i looked weird
Another tip I learned from my hairstylist and completely changed everything for me is this: don’t keep your hair parted the same way every day. If you have a middle part on one day switch it to a slightly different part the next day (sweep it to the right side, then the left side the next day and sweep it back) better yet don’t part your hair at all. You hair is heavier than you think, if you keep you hair parted in the middle it will pull down. It will quickly create a low cranial top at first, your hair will go flat and in some time it will lead to a bald spot
YES. I learnt it the hard way. I parted my hair in the middle everyday for almost 10 years and now I have a permanent middle part and nothing works. So do this folks if you don't want a runner in your head
But you know what? We shouldn't give a fuck, its just a trend , is not like we are supposed to do everything "beauty standard" says ,we are the ones who choose to follow it or not, its damn stupid to let that affect us these days when self love is almost like a trend.
It's not new at all, they just came up with a name but it has been around for a while especially in the US :) check out all the celebrities and models :) But I appreciate that every new season China's beauty bloggers attacks one topic to give us the tips xD
@@emma.l.m Idk I understand that people probably noticed that way before, but it's just another 'ugly quirk' about my body structure that I'm gonna focus on way more than I should 🥲
@@almamater489 hi, I understand how you feel, but you should know that beauty standards are completely different depending on when and where you are. For example in a lot of Asian countries it’s considered beautiful to be slim without so much curves. A lot of Asian people also consider it more beautiful to be very pale. In America it’s considered beautiful to have big boobs, small waist and round hips and butt. Americans also prefer tanned people over pale people. In the 1960s it was trendy to wear dresses that didn’t cinch the waist, they wanted to dress boyish, without showing any curves at all. Being pale used to be seen as high class; because it meant you were rich enough to not have to work outside in the sun. It was the same with being overweight, if you were chubby it meant you could afford to buy lots of food. Now it’s the complete opposite in some places. Also let’s not forget how many phases peoples poor eyebrows have had to go through just because the beauty standards are constantly changing. What I’m trying to say is that beauty standards don’t mean shit and in five years what we see as “perfect” and “most beautiful” right now can be COMPLETELY different. Try not to beat yourself up so much about it. Also it can help a bit to think that even if just 1% of the worlds population would think you’re gorgeous, that would still be 78 million people who find you attractive. Love yourself because you’re the only person in the world who you’ll be forever stuck with no matter what and living with someone you hate 24/7 sounds awful
I have a high cranial top naturally and I used to literally cry about it cuz I thought it look so dumb and no one else in my family had it so that me even more insecure but seeing how many people want it makes me feel so much better
@@rewdskwid actually there are some parts of asia where you STILL don't have Straightner and hair dryer hanging around in your house just like that. ( she might not even be asian but they have their own reason) They don't use hair dryer or heater or straightner cuz mum and grannies think it'll destroy and damage your hair. Soooo. Think about the person before you answer.
i reccomend dry shampoo spray it gives volume when you spray on the roots it’s probably not as good as the one here but it works well for me and i have long hair
It's okay thooo I'm sure you look really pretty :> But there are many many ways to add volume, like cutting your hair in layers, using the flat iron technique, using hair products etc..
This is not a trend. That's something you have to find in order to suit you. As long as you find your uniqueness and the look that better suits you and enhance your beauty, giiiirrrl you'll be golden and you'll see a huge difference. Just find what makes you feel Beautiful and you
Ty peachie, it's soo true we must find things we suit for ourselves not what's on trend. Just because something is trending and doesn't suit you doesn't mean anything. Like why people obsessed w V shape face. Like Angela Joeli has a heavy jaw and she is soo beautiful. Go with whatever you have
As a black girl, l will definitely use these tips for when I wear wigs. Also if your getting a protective style like box braids, maybe try placing more braids at the crown of your head to create the illusion of a high cranial top (but you might need to make the braids smaller so they don't look bulky). I have never done this before so try at your own risk lol
And here I thought this wouldn’t apply to us. I still don’t get it lol. I figured what they’re tb is how much volume you have at the front of head. Oor a straight hairline as opposed to a rounded one. The wider your forehead the less volume you’d have with straight hair vs the taller narrower…Nonetheless my voluminous afro cannot compute.
I was going to say! This is why big natural styles like afros usually look good on me and other black girls it creates more volume at the top to balance out the face
omg, my mom added more braids to my hair than usual like a couple months ago. At first, I thought it would look so bad on me, but after watching this video I realized she naturally gave me a high cranial part with braids. she’s also the one who told me to try lighter hair( clearly we see who knows best between her and I 😆) when I would straighten my hair, I’d always push it up in the back then flatten my hair to see the difference. I’d prefer my hair in a high cranial top, but didn’t know there was a term for it until now. I just thought of it as volume, which it is similar too. With the fuller braids, I noticed I warmed up quicker to my hair than usual and it made a difference on camera too. My head looked rounder and hair looked taller in the best way ever. Braids are already flattering, but I was so shocked at the difference from the fuller braids. I was a bit off and upset, because new hairstyle jitters. Not even an hour or couple later, I was like “Wow.” It gave off such an elegant, classy, and ethereal look. Don’t worry, your tip is actually very helpful 🫶🏽but still try carefully lovely black girls, because you know what fits you best and what you/don’t like
Hi Peachies! We see there are comments asking where to get the tools to achieve high cranial top hairstyles. Here are the tools that are mentioned in the video😚 Thank you! 1.

New insecurity unlocked✨ Edit:Apparently I feel the need to clarify what I mean before anyone starts assuming and saying absurd stuff. I in no means am spreading hate towards the person who created this video. Also no hate to anyone Imao. I'm just expressing my views. If y'all feel offended for smth so little idk what to say to yall.
@@TakenbyDesign ahhh sorry! In the video it says a straightener that's the width of your finger, or just less than two fingers xx Edit: I think that's around one inch xx
OH MY GOD!! ive been searching for a way to make that area look smaller, but i didnt know what it was called.. now ik that it's called a high cranial top! tysm for this
I love how this account has very specific recomendations for everyone and actually deep analysis. I've never seen someone explain in such detail beauty things to enhance our own characteristics. It's always those perfect beautiful girls who don't give tips that work for everyone, just for them. But this is really good! Because it's not about changing to unrealistic beauty standards, but to do little changes that are in our capability to do to look better without damaging or hiding our bodies. I'm so in love!
Lucy Hale from PLL has this and it makes her look younger. When I was younger, I wanted ny hair to look like that, but because of my oval shape, it never looked good
actually, oval shape is "considered" a perfect face shape for women. it is said that every hair style would look good on women with an oval face. for example: beyonce. i'm sure it was not that bad looking:)
I feel like this is something old people have realized, at least my grandma uses something to lift her hair like that and I always thought it was dumb 🧍🏽♀️ but now..
@@sleepygirl96 I had no idea, I just thought i had a misshapen head and like, and the whole hairline is visible so I was just like :/ big head but now I guess I see it differently!!!
IZ*ONE's Wonyoung made me notice this style and after trying it on myself, I realized how much it helps improve the look of my face shape. Thanks for all the tips on how to do it! Time to improve my methods!
*TLDR:* *-Adding height on the top, but not the sides, of your head, makes your face look taller and bigger, which can make you look more elegant.* *-Adding height on the top **_and_** sides makes your head look bigger compared to your face, which makes your face smaller and cuter.* *-Therefore, high cranial top, while it is not a bad feature, can either make you look cuter or more elegant depending on how you style it.* *-So saying someone has a high cranial top doesn't really mean anything in terms of defining their personal aesthetic.* This is interesting. It is important to learn about beauty from a place of understanding of facial aesthetics. I think having a shorter face is cuter, because it resembles a baby, and looks very innocent and sweet-natured. However, having a taller face is the opposite: it is a more grown up look, reflecting the wisdom, maturity, and grace that comes as you grow- it is more elegant. As you said, whether you like cute style or elegant style is an individual choice. The emphasis on cranial top is a good first step, however, it does not give the full picture. If you emphasize only the top, without emphasizing the sides, it will make your face taller, which will make you look more elegant. I try to do this with buns, ponytails, and other high updo's because I personally like the elegant look, but I have a round little baby face. If your hairstyle is like a perm, for example, it doesn't just add to the height of your head, but also to the sides, which can give the appearance of a larger head, and by contrast, a smaller face. This makes your face look cuter. So having a high cranial top can either work in favour of cuteness or elegance (Do not despair, high cranial top, girls! You still have a lot of individual choice♡). High cranial top is not like, say, fringe, which shortens the face, pretty much no matter which style you get (although finding the right style of fringe for you is also important, if you want to go in that direction!) The women in this video who have low cranial top also have an elegant look already. Take Dilraba Dilmurat, for example. She has that beautiful forehead, which is so tall. She also has a slim jaw and a long facial midsection. This all gives her the elegant queenly look. If she had a high cranial top (without anything on the sides), that would heighten her face further, which might look like overkill. So although low cranial top won't add height to your face, it doesn't necessarily make you more elegant or cuter, it is just neutral.
TLDR of this High cranial top -makes you look cuter, and defines your facial feature Low cranial top - you seem more mature/older, pretty neutral You can try to mimic high cranial top with up-dos, which add elegance and flatters your facial features Height to the top (high cranial) make you seem cuter, while adding height to the sides and top, makes you seem more elegant and mature.
I was wondering the whole time why my hair looks so flat even though I have a thick hair. I realized, I just have a low cranial top. Thank you so much for this video, your tips are really helpful!
I’ve tried a Jennie haircut but it never looked the same now that I know I will use this method!!! Yay!! When she said everyday products I thought like toilet paper rolls 😂
🥺 thank youuuu, in my teenage years I was so uncomfortable with how flat my hairs were, they were long heavy and I was so insecure and I’ve been wearing ponytails all the time from there on, my hairs been falling off a lot due to the tight ponytail. I can’t believe it’s been this long, I can finally wear my hairs down now 😢❤️ so much thanks!!! I’ll try this right away!
same, i just subscribed this morning at 1am before bed. i woke up at 6 for school, and now its 8am and i have come right back, haha. the channel is like a magnet
Wow finally. I’ve literally been wondering how to achieve that fullness at the crown that I never naturally have and literally no one knows what I’m talking about. But ofc this channel does 😂 I swear I’ve been waiting for this for years
Babies reading this, this tip is a tip for you to find and achieve what feels good on you, you either discover that you like another cranial top shape or you love it. Either way you know more about how to please yourself and enjoy your life. Don’t be hypercritical just when someone took it as their beauty standard it’s not yours. You look the most gorgeous in the pairs of eyes of people caring about you, including yourself, when you feel the best and please yourself the best, it shines through.
Honestly me being an Indian I've always had a high cranial top and everyone made fun of it. This is what I can show them now that high cranial top is not ugly 😃
Why people making fun of you? I always envy a girl that have a high cranial top because their hair looks more thick and healthy... My hair is so thin because of genetic and yeah sometimes I insecure with my own hair because it looks flat af lmaoo 😭
You made me feel so dumb😂I always tried to make myself look good with middle parting, but end up looking like a granny😂Now I got to know how its actually done. I feel so dumb for not knowing this😂Hope I'm not the only one haha
So this is the reason my head always looks smaller than my body 👁️👄👁️my forehead is small and my hair looks way fuller because of high cranial top... whenever I try to add more volume in my hair I look crazy 😆😆😆
@@MaddieMimi no actually not much...this Will only make you look youthful if your face shape is oval/v shaped...mine is a mixture of oval+diamond shape so even if it does make my hair look fuller and face more youthful only if I style it right,buns and high ponytails doesn't suit me,I always wear my hair in braids...either wise with or without cranial top you're beautiful ❤️take love dear...a cranial top can't make you prettier if you're not from inside...
As stated in the video, low or high cranial top doesnt define how beautiful you are. It's the matter of defining what features you have a embrace a style that fits you the most!! If anyone feels insecure abt having low cranial top, remember that most people don't actually know the difference!!! You do what looks good on you ;))
Woah- I used to hate having a high cranial top because I didn’t like the ways that high poneytails looked on me, but this gave me a new view.. thank you!
lmao i don't see how this makes people insecure... if it makes you insecure you are sensitive in general (that can't be helped ik), beauty standards or whatever has nothing to do with it...
it is not about worrying, it is about figuring out what style would suit one better based on skull structure. we often look at certain looks by celebrities and try to recreate/follow them but somehow that looks off on us and we think "oh well I cant just pull it off I guess" but no, it is because of reasons like in this video. celebrities usually get styled based off their body shape, head shape, length of limbs etc so as to enhance the entire look to perfection, of course it is going to look bad on other people if followed blindly. videos like these help in understanding the reasoning behind visual aesthetics so that we can create a great look for ourselves.
oh wow this was so helpful! my hair naturally has a lot of volume at the ends but not much at the roots and i've always felt my hair is so flat on top yet really fluffy at the bottom. i'm definitely going to try these tricks, thank you!
tell me why growing up i was always insecure about the shape of my head and how my hair fell over it and how it wasn't "flat" like other girls and now i find out that people are actually trying to achieve this pointy head look lolol this makes me happy
Same, I used to hate it. Especially when the flower crown headband trend was around because my head would not cooperate lol. This made me feel a bit better.
I mean,like she said,it depends on your face. If you got a long face already and don't need your high top then it might look bad. but if your face isn't long,having the hair flat will just make the face look round and fat. (which I can give a thumbs up to because that's exactly my problem. I always thought I was just lacking volume in general)
@@jos-josradvanji6203 true, all beauty is subjective to the individual. however the main point of my comment was to simply highlight how i found it heartwarming that some people find something i used to be ashamed of as admirable. i think it's a poor judgement of you to comment that there are conditions under which having having a "high top" might look bad, as that is not only a hypercritical statement, but you're also further feeding into invasive ideas and essentially saying that some girls look bad, for everyone to read on the internet likely including some sensitive populations. while i don't think you meant your comment to come off this way or negatively at all, but i encourage you to think about the phrasing of your words and to further think about the implications of what you say, especially on this comment that was aimed to spread a positive message only
If you don't have a straightner like that, you can use a blow drying brush and blow dryer at heat setting. Keep the brush under the scalp and blow hot air, let it cool and Remove. It works same💙
thank you so much, your channel is such a useful channel so far 😭 you're not only give us new tips for better ways to style ourselves but you also encourage us to be in the ways we are too! 💕
Beauty trend : look at this pretty girl .. I ll teach you how to look like her so you to can be pretty.. Honestly though there is beauty in being unique and yourself
Just remember that this is due to genetics. If you want a higher cranial top, you’re going to either need to add extra volume to the top of your hair/head or change your hairline by surgery or laser.
I love the way they said it depends on which style suits you and which style you’re aiming to. It’s the first time I’ve seen a video about beauty standards act modest and not make people think they’re ugly lol
I discovered this when I was in my teenage years. There was a singer she looked really really attractive (she sang a song where she said "uh-oh, uh-oh") and I found out her hair looked different. She had so much volume at the top it looked very nice
I Love that this is being talked about. I always felt like there was something about my hair and head shape that made it look like something was missing so I would widen and heighten my cranial hair to balance it . Teasing it, using dry shampoo, using hairspray or using a straightener like in the video. Now I know even more about it.
what? having a high cranial (or whatever) doesnt make you petty or ugly it makes some 'prettier'and others the opposite. it just depends on your face shape, a low one might look fab on you, or terrible. it depends what YOU think. stop getting insecure over tiny things. she literally said both look pretty('i think both are gorgous'),and this is just a hair tutorial. are you going to get another insucurity because someone made a video about ponytails? no.
If you naturally have voluminous or curly hair you can make your cranial top look higher by cutting short layers in the back. It doesn’t need to be much, only some thin layers that sit on top of your hair will add a lot of volume to it
Interestingly, I have low cranial top because its a beauty standard here to have flat heads. So since birth, babies are only made to sleep in a specific position so that the skull becomes flatter over a period of a month or a bit more. I didn't know abt this until a few days ago and it's so weird that this was even a thing because I'd never heard of it. But now you know ✨
@@Amnaaamir3310 neither did i until two days ago by my mom. Apparently her mom (my grandma) was super adamant on doing this. I think this is a dying tradition which is why no one cares about it anymore.
I mean... its just voluminous hair. it's why people used to back comb (tease) the fk out of their hair, just right at the roots. and why people use shit like volume powders, plumping hair mousses, dry shampoos. flat hair was never in or appreciated lol. so many shampoos advertising against "thin flat hair" bcus majority of people look better with some volume/body to their hair. as for the shape of your cranium, ain't nothing you can do about that so just figure out how to style it best. but yeah, groundbreaking stuff in this video guys ✨
Ive never heard of this, I always thought my high cranial top looked weird or like I had a wig on. I always thought I should make my hair flatter on my head for this reason. But looking at these I realized I've always had that look! I had no idea it was a good thing to some people! 🤣 I feel more confident.
Nah…I have a big forehead so I put a flat cloth headband in the front section of my hair to lay it. That way the same effect is there with no heat damage. I have natural cowlicks in the front of my hair I have to part in the middle to lay. Like the curtain bangs area.
for a permanent solution,you can try to grow your hairline. Not recommended if you already have a low hairline/small forehead, but for me my forehead is on the larger size so i use hair serums to make it smaller
this would be effective but it will not change the inherent distance between the top most point of the head and the eyes. the trick is to achieve that ratio between the line from the flat of the head to the bottom of chin and line from the flat of the head to eyes. idk if u get what im saying. we use these 1/3rd 2/3rd ratios to draw a well proportioned face in art class
@@buldakcarboboth! I had some hairloss so it did help my hair become fuller, but I noticed the most result on my hairline since little hairs started popping bellow my existing hairline making it lower!
Personally for me, I like low. It's just how I feel, I think high is a bit intimidating, low looks natural and neutral often. I also found Jenny looked better with low cranial top. For me, low cranial top suits her more.
I have afro hair and I use box braids, I always liked to do a high ponytail with the braids, because my face looks more beautiful like this... I think I did this trick naturally kjkjdasd when we see the mirror we know this things, and we do naturally
Fok that is the reason why I look ulgy. I have a high cranial top, I always feels good in my skin but when I see myself in pictures i always feels like my head looks big.
@@asiscandyshop648 I mean yeah it's pretty easy, but I prefer sculpting it to be higher with hair clay or fluffing up washed and blow dried hair with hands and setting it in place with hairspray. And if I want to slick it back I use hair mouse and push the hair in the front near the hairline more forward to increase height as well. Note that it might be different on me cus I'm Caucasian so my head is more rounded out and 'higher' as is. I know that Koreans have been doing this for a long time though because a lot of them have flatter head shapes I guess. So they fluff it up in the back of the head and on top. Oh also teasing the hair works as well.
@@asiscandyshop648 Fluffy hair used to be a thing in the west too though, like 70s, 80s etc. And hairstyles known as 'feathered hair'. A hairstylist basically cuts the hair in layers so that it would have more volume and fluff. For example Farrah Fawcett.
Also, if you keep your hair swept back with no parting for a significant amount of time, and then do a middle part, it won't be as flat as usual, you're welcome :)
I have a high school classmate who has a literally high cranial top and tbh with you it doesn't really look pleasant in real life especially at lateral and back view. She kinda looks a an alien. I'm not downgrading her because she's pretty. Cranial top looks only attractive in photos and she's actually photogenic. But that doesn't really reflect in real life. I mean she's still beautiful. And this was the time when the first iPhone was realeased. So her pictures were not photoshopped. Now I know why.
I think I have a high cranial top :/ I had never heard of this. I have always been called "cute" and looked young for my age. I never thought it was my cranial top. 😆
Why do ppl always say “not downgrading her...?” You’re literally analyzing her looks on the internet. Saying she only looks pretty in certain angles, scenarios lol. Pretty sure she would feel creeped out and uncomfortable
you know what u were doing when u wrote this bs comment, trying to make people who felt good from this video insecure for no reason! just let everyone be happy, it’s not better than low cranial but is being appreciated here that’s all!
Omg i finally found out why i look terrible when my hair is voluminous on top. I have a long oval face and a naturally slightly low cranial top. Wearing a high cranial top hairstyle makes my face look awkward
I've always been so insecure about she shape of my skull, I naturally have a high cranial top, always trying to make my hair as flat as possible but it never being enough because hyperfocussing on it makes it appear large and disproportionate and wrong (the longer you stare into the mirror, the more your reflection will morphe and look wrong),. always cropping out the top of my head from photo's 🥺 now I have a scientific reason to feel confident about it
You dont have a problem about this anymore when you have naturally thick her and have volume . 😂✌ And this is why people love yourself because people may want to achieve something you already have like maybe thick eyebrows . When i was little i hate my hair because its really thick , my cousin have straight and managable hair , silky and thin yes its beautiful now that im an adult i found out that many people want to have thick hair and want to have volumes on their hair . My hair will be wavy when i wake up in the morning so its not a problem to go out 🤣😂😂 . Just hair combed it and your done . Atleast thats how i do it . The point is Love yourself , love your own beauty .
Am I the only one who thinks jennie having a high cranial top makes her head look a little to huge because her face is small and he forehead is bigger and on top of that having a high cranial top
I used to unintentionally try to achieve this (never had a word for it) by constantly switching my side part to either side, but now that middle parts are in I’ve been trying to figure out to do this. Thanks for sharing! The handband/pony tail trick is so useful!
Another tip I learned from my hairstylist and completely changed everything for me is this: don’t keep your hair parted the same way every day. If you have a middle part on one day switch it to a slightly different part the next day (sweep it to the right side, then the left side the next day and sweep it back) better yet don’t part your hair at all. You hair is heavier than you think, if you keep you hair parted in the middle it will pull down. It will quickly create a low cranial top at first and in some time it will lead to a bald spot
best tip would be to stop caring what others think of your beauty... there's so much more to life and you don't need people obsessed with vanity in your life
