How To Identify A Round Face?
A round face shape is typically characterised by a softer jawline with equal proportions in length and width. Additionally, those with a rounded face won’t have angular features like a protruding chin or high cheekbones.
Whether you prefer your hair long, short, straight, wavy or curly, with a round face, you don’t have to compromise. Our tips and tricks will advise you on the best styles to embrace and accentuate the beauty of your face shape.
The Long Bob
If you have a round face, you might have heard people tell you that a shorter cut will only draw attention to it. This is because shorter styles with choppy face-framing layers can give the illusion of adding more width to the face and making it appear fuller. However, with the right stylistic hacks, your round face can really work a shorter style.
For example, if the idea of a bob tempts you, opt for a cut that’s just a few inches longer than the traditional style. In doing so, the extra inches below your jawline will help to lengthen the look of your face and counteract any roundness. Adding longer or feathered layers to the cut can also help to frame your face and shorten a rounded jawline.
The Pixie Cut
The pixie cut offers fantastic opportunities for a variety of different styles. Try a pixie cut with a long asymmetrical fringe for a rounder face. Visually, this cut can reduce the broadness of a fuller face by adding more volume to the top of your head. Because of this, the face appears elongated, giving it the appearance of an ideal oval shape. Alongside your pixie cut, you may try introducing a few colourful highlights to refresh your style.
It is generally believed that a pixie haircut only flatters women who have lean, long and somewhat angular faces. Examples are Audrey Hepburn, Keira Knightley, and Emma Watson, who have previously sported a popular pixie cut. But the good news is that round faces with delicate facial features can also flaunt a pixie cut as the style helps to enhance the natural charm of this face shape.
Those with round faces trying to embrace their natural curls and coils can also take full advantage of the pixie cut. The style will flatter your face shape by adding height and texture to your hair. In turn, this accentuates your cheeks and eyes by providing a subtle slimming effect.
Mid to Long Length Cuts:
Mid-length cuts that fall below your chin are a great option for those with a rounder face. Whether you choose a blunt cut or softer style, this length will add some angle to your face. If you are aiming for a softer look, pay attention to framing your face. The shortest layers should fall closest to your chin, with the longer layers coming after to soften the effect gradually. This will bring attention to the best aspects of your facial structure.
For mid to long cuts, the right fringe can make any haircut suit your round face, with either straight, wavy or curly hair. Try a long fringe that reaches your cheekbones at its longest point. Angling your fringe will make it easier to style and sweep to the side.
If your hair is naturally wavy or curly, try extending this to your fringe as well. Wavy hair looks great on girls with round faces and even better when you have a fringe to bring some definition to the way your face is framed. Gentle waves will perfectly compliment and contrast your softer face shape.
Every long haircut looks beautiful on ladies with round faces, as the length helps to elongate the facial structure, making it look more proportionate. Flowing layers will also add movement around a round face, hiding the curves of your cheeks and creating the illusion of an oval face.
