Best Hairstyles for Round Faces

Round faces have equal width and length, with soft angles and full cheeks. The goal is to add height and angles while elongating the face.

Long Layers

Long layers that fall past the chin create vertical lines that elongate the face. Add side-swept bangs for additional angle creation. Avoid blunt cuts at chin level, which emphasize roundness.

Textured Pixie

A textured pixie with volume on top adds height and creates the illusion of a longer face shape. The short sides slim the face while the textured top adds interest.

Long Bob (Lob)

A lob that hits below the chin with subtle layers is universally flattering. The length creates a slimming effect, and the layers add movement. Part it slightly off-center for maximum face-framing.

Styles to Avoid

• Chin-length bobs that add width
• Center parts that emphasize symmetry
• Volume at the sides that widens the face
• Blunt bangs that shorten the face
