When it comes to choosing a flattering haircut, knowing your face shape is key. Finding a haircut that works for your face shape can make a huge difference to your overall appearance. It’s all about finding a style that balances your proportions and brings out your best facial features.
While you may think that women with round faces have limited options when it comes to hairstyles – this is not true. There are a variety of hairstyles that you can rock – even with a round face!
Sleek Pixie Cut
Pixie cuts are surprisingly versatile and, unsurprisingly, fairly low maintenance. They are great on round faces as the jawline is clear and clean and as the length is around the hairline it gives the illusion of a thinner face. The perfect ones will be cuts with feathered strands framing the face, asymmetric side-parted hairstyles, and styles with volume on top of the head as this gives length to the face.
Straight Asymmetrical Bob
An asymmetrical bob that is shorter in length and cut into an uneven bob-like shape , meaning one side is longer than the other. Even having a soft fringe which is broken up and not solid will still create the illusion of face length while softening off one side.
Medium Shaggy Cut
When you go for layering, longer length on the top with choppy layers through the back and bottom of your hair is good option for those with a round face hairstyle. Having a longer curtain-like fringe gives the illusion of length as it shows from the top of the forehead to the bottom of the chin either worn central or to the side.
Short Bob
This is when your hair is one length in the exterior shape. These images show a soft fringe that is swept to the side which again gives the illusion of length because you can see the whole length of your face but just as a peek-a -boo. Ensure your length DOESN’T end at the jaw line, as this can add width to your jaw which is what you are trying to avoid. Either finish the overall length above or below the jaw as shown in these images.
Here is another great example of styles that are shorter that still suit a round face. These have variations of length however the layers are shorter that are feathered to give that see through effect…
