: It actually works backwards. In general, when having your hair down your face looks thinner because your hair frames it.
: Havent you ever heard people saying that having long hair makes you look thinner? Thats because long hair framing your face creates that effect.
Having more hair makes your head look bigger, because your hair is seen as part of your head. This makes your body look smaller in comparison.
Shaping your hair and beard can affect how your face, head, and neck areas are sensed. You can correct for an unusually shaped head, a long neck, a large or small chin, protruding ears, etc., by growing enough hair that you have something to work with in the trimming endeavor. You shape, of course, to make your combined head and hair mass to yield a more average-looking shape.
