Layers can help balance round faces by drawing attention away from soft features and down to your neckline. They also add volume and texture to thin hair, making it feel more full.
Modern Middle-Parted Shaggy Cut
Try a modern middle-parted shaggy cut with face-framing layers for an authentic Bardot vibe. The length should hit just beneath your chin for frames that perfectly frame your face shape.
Long Layers
Layers can be the perfect finishing touch to a look for any face shape, particularly those with round faces. Layers add movement and depth where there may be none.
Long Angled Bob
For example, a long angled bob that begins below the ears and extends up toward the shoulders, like that of Lana Condor, can help slim the jawline by drawing attention upward.
Shaggy Cuts with Face-Framing Layers
Shaggy cuts with longer face-framing layers can also be an excellent choice for rounder faces, providing balance to their curves while stunning in bold colors.
Long Wavy Style with Middle Part
Another popular style option is a long, wavy style with a middle part and side-swept bangs, perfect for those transitioning into cracks slowly. Feathered layers can help elongate the face and balance fullness on round faces.
Feathered Hair
Feathered hair adds movement and dimension to any haircut, but is especially striking on round faces. Feathering creates a soft frame around your face while working well with all lengths and textures of locks.
Softly Textured Layered Cut
Try a softly textured layered cut starting just beneath your chin if you have medium hair. This style works for any face shape; however, round faces often find it particularly flattering as it softens their curves around cheeks and jawline.
Medium-Length Layers
Longer hair works wonders for round faces when styled with layers to soften its appearance and avoid creating an artificial helmet effect. Layers may range from soft and blended to bold or even choppy; just be sure that their length complements your facial structure properly.
Modified Pixie
For example, a modified Pixie with long front layers that sweep across your forehead with cropped sides and a short back can elongate your face while showing off your gorgeous cheekbones.
Shaggy Center-Parted Cuts
Shaggy center-parted cuts can also work wonders on round faces when combined with highlights. Their wavy texture draws attention away from soft jawlines while adding dimension and helping accentuate facial features.
Short Layers
The “New Shag” has gained much praise recently, but don’t be afraid to add face-framing layers for an updated take. An asymmetrical cut can help slim your silhouette by creating the illusion of a thinner front and drawing attention inward to eyes, lips, and cheeks.
Long Mushroom Cuts
Long mushroom cuts can do wonders to elongate a round face when styled wavy with choppy layers, like Olivia Munn’s signature style. Brush back your locks for an understated or spike up for an edgier vibe!
Peekaboo Highlights
Peekaboo highlights can add visual interest – particularly when combined with two-tone styles or an ombre effect!
