Finding an eye-catching haircut when you have a round face can be challenging. To emphasize both your beauty and slim down your features, the perfect style needs to balance between both elements.
Emma Stone’s Signature Look: Wavy, Disconnected Lob Cut with Textured Ends
Try Emma Stone’s signature look: a wavy, disconnected lob cut with textured ends for added dimension while an elongating middle part elongates your face.
Side Fringe Bob for Height and Length
A side-swept fringe and feathered lob create height, lengthen a round face shape, and hide broad foreheads while softly framing cheekbones to offset a more giant or more prominent nose.
Angled and Structured Haircuts for Round Faces
Hairstylist Frederic Fekkai advises that haircuts with plenty of angles and structure, like choppy shag or layered bob cuts, can be most flattering for round faces as they feature plenty of tips that soften their features and sculpt them away from one-length scratches. He suggests staying away from all-one-length cuts.
Glamour Waves for Volume
Don’t turn to your flat iron if you have thick, straight hair! Try Emma Stone-inspired 1940s-style glamour waves instead to add volume and more balance to your facial structure. This style works exceptionally well on women with longer locks; longer locks can even be tucked behind ears for easy storage during work or travel. A subtle blonde hue works beautifully in this look, or experiment with hand-painted highlights for bolder looks!
Textured Lob with Volume and Depth
Add texture to your lob for an exciting twist! A layered cut with textured finishes is one of the best haircuts for thin hair as it helps add volume and depth to strands – plus, balayage looks beautiful with this style!
Long Choppy Bob for Elongating and Softening
Long choppy bobs are another stylish hairstyle for round faces that is ideal for lengthening and softening jawlines and chin areas. Their deep side part helps elongate the face and effectively distracts from heavier jawlines or chin areas. Furthermore, this style works equally well on thick or thin locks with platinum blonde hues.
Avoid Short Hairstyles for Round Faces
Short hairstyles are best avoided for round faces as they can add bulk to your features. If you want something quick–such as a bob–that suits this face shape, opt for a longer back and shorter front length. This versatile style works well with or without bangs; Selena Gomez and Kelly Osbourne both favor this sultry style!
Side Undercut for Balance
Good Housekeeping states that wavy hair works best on round faces because of its volume-boosting qualities and side part styling; long front locks help elongate the profile and draw attention away from heavier jaw and chin areas. Alternatively, try an undercut with a thin, hard part and slight pushback to balance out your round face. It is a classic yet sophisticated haircut suitable for casual and formal events; it even looks stylish when worn with a beard.
Long Bob with Layers for Definition and Softening
If your hair is incredibly thick, consider opting for a long bob with layers that fall down the face to add definition and soften its proportions with feminine touches. Celebrities like Jordin Sparks and Jennifer Lawrence show us that broad faces and thick curls can work harmoniously together!
Pink hair for Dimension and Angles
Pink has long been associated with pop stars and punk rockers, but this beautiful feminine shade works beautifully on all skin tones. Darker shades tend to pair better with dark makeup, but soft pink hues are better suited to younger people or more subdued styles. If you want a subtler shade, try opting for rose or coral hues instead. They complement honey blonde beautifully and add dimension and balance to round faces by creating angles in the front and providing tips and balance to each corner of your features.
Disconnected Wavy Lob Cut for Framing
A disconnected wavy lob cut is another excellent choice for framing a round face. This lively cut can be worn with either side or center part to balance your facial structure, and would look especially great with long locks that feature balayage highlights that softly blend pink shades into natural hair colors for seamless results. Balayage highlights are another excellent solution that require less maintenance compared to bold pink colors like this option would.
