If the haircut you desire may seem too full or round for your face shape, don’t let that discourage you. With hard work and persistence, edgy haircuts for round faces may actually slim and flatter them instead!
Choppy Angled White Bob
A choppy, angled white bob can accentuate your facial structure, making your face less round. Add highlights and skin fades for an eye-catching and stylish style.
Shaggy Bob
The shag cut, commonly known as the wolf cut, is an expertly-layered haircut that works wonders in framing round faces. While bangs may add extra texture and volume, without them, this style remains timeless and ideal for women looking for short haircuts that slim their facial features visually.
Asymmetrical Bobs
Asymmetrical bobs are an edgier alternative to classic bobs that flatter various face shapes. Their longer side can be pulled back or swept forward for an oval frame around your face. This style can be enhanced further with highlights or braided half-up style braids!
Money Piece Highlights
Though we may associate chunky highlights with the 90s, they’ve returned and remain popular among celebrities today. Chunky highlights create a dramatic contrast and frame your face beautifully, creating an expensive aesthetic perfect for protective styles.
Messy Updo
Add a wavy flair to this classic haircut to frame and soften its roundness, and achieve this look using a curling iron and texturizing spray.
Textured Pixie
If you’re afraid of going short, a textured pixie with a deep side part could be the thing for your round face shape. Chrissy Teigen and Janelle Monae both showcase this trendy cut as proof. Add blunt bangs for an updated look if you have long, wavy hair. This hairstyle instantly elongates your face and reduces its width, pairing nicely with bold lips and perfectly-formed eyebrows.
Undercut Pixie
Purple adds depth and boldness to this choppy pixie haircut, adding both depth and dimension. Muted pastel hues of lavender and violet highlight its edge while providing soft feminine appeal that’s easy to style into stunning side sweeps or daring spikes.
French Bob
French bob haircuts offer a chic way to upgrade any standard bob or short style. With its face-framing bangs and sleek yet timeless aesthetic, this cut can easily transform your style. Round or wide-square faces can benefit from the elongating effects of a classic French bob with full bangs for their face shapes, which will add length and balance the fullness and width of their features. Furthermore, its gentle silhouette adds a softness that compliments delicate features like the delicate chin.
Short Buzz Cut
This short style is ideal for men looking to appear dapper without giving up their independence. Additionally, light-haired individuals will benefit from having it help regularise their features and make for a sharper silhouette – it particularly suits Diamond and Oblong face shapes. In contrast, it might not fit Square or Heart shapes as much. To soften the sharp edges of a buzz cut, opt for a fade that starts lower or midway down your head. This will add length on top while looking more natural than a high taper taper.
Pixie with Fringe
Pixie cuts with fringes are perfect for adding drama to their look, creating flattering angles that contrast the round shape of your face while emphasizing sharp features like your jawline and cheekbones. Make your style more noticeable by choosing bold hues like this dark red shade! An effective way to add some edge to your pixie is with a high-contrast undercut and bangs, drawing attention to sharp features while complementing any skin tone. Plus, its layer texture lets you tease it for added volume!
