Top 5 Hairstyles for Round Faces

We have compiled the top hairstyles for round faces! Round faces are about as equal in width as they are in length, and have a smooth jawline. The key to a great hairstyle for a round face is to give the illusion of length rather than width.

1. Bouncy Lob

A longer bob will help to elongate your face and the soft waves will help to elevate your check bones!

TIP: Adding soft curls to your hair will help to balance the roundness of your face.

2. Long Layers

Layers that fall past the chin will help to slim rounder faces by opening up the face and adding length.

TIP: Layers should be angled outward not inward!

3. Top Knot

Wearing a Top Knot hairstyle will help to add volume to the top of your head and away from your face. This will help to make your face look long and lean.

TIP: This can be done with an Ultra-high pony as well!

4. Sleek and Straight

This style works best with hair that is shoulder length or longer. This look will help to smooth a round face, which will help it to appear less circular.

TIP: Mixing in a side part will create an asymmetrical look that will flatter all of your angles!

5. Side Swept Bangs

Side Swept bangs work best when they touch the cheekbones! The length of your bangs will help to offset the look of a rounded face. Side Swept Bangs will help to frame the face and create angles!

TIP: Wearing your hair on the same side of your face as your bangs will help to offset a symmetrical rounded face!
