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
