Round Face Hairstyles

Styles that add length and definition tend to flatter round faces — think soft layers, height at the crown, and face-framing movement.

Face shape traits

Soft angles with similar face width and length.

  • •Full cheeks
  • •Rounded jawline
  • •Similar width and length
  • •Soft chin

What works well

  • •Long bobs (lobs)
  • •Straight hair with long layers
  • •Side-swept bangs
  • •Textured crops or pompadours

What to avoid

  • •Short bob cuts that hit at cheek level
  • •Chin-length styles that add width
  • •Blunt bangs that create horizontal lines
