Great Hairstyles for People with Round Faces

Are you looking for hair styles that will suit your round face? Well, there are plenty. But first, make sure that you have determined the shape of your face correctly.

If you are sure, then we can proceed. If your face is round, it means that it is as wide as it is long. There may be slight variations where the face may not be as wide as it is long, but it will be within a quarter to half inch of each other.

Having a round face means that you will have full cheekbones. People who have round faces are also likely to have short necks and wide hairlines. One thing must be remembered that shapes of human faces always may not fit into some specific category. In fact, a human face may include features of different shapes.

There is actually nothing that can be called a perfect hair style for people with round faces. Many different factors play their role in determining the best hair style for you, like the length and texture of your hair, your lifestyle requirements, and many other things.

If your face is a perfect round (adhering to the criteria of a round face) then you can consider the following hair styles:


1. You can go in for layered hair instead of heavy or straight bangs.

2. You can decide on short hair styles that will offer some height to your crown instantly.

3. You can try out shag hair styles.

4. You can wear the sides of hair closer to your face and keep them short.

5. You can try out a style in which the curls will be kept around the crown but will never come near the cheeks. This will enhance your height. The sides of your hair can also be kept short and curly.

6. If you want, you can wear your hair very long and form it in layers or graduated shag. This will give your neck a slender shape.

If you have a round face and double chin, then you can keep your hair above the chin level and wear it around your face. You can grow your back hair a little longer.

A bob cut will also look good on you. If you want your short neck to appear long, you can get a short cropped hair style.

Long hair styled properly can give your round face a slender look, and strategically placed highlights can make your face look slim.

You can wear your hair in any length you wish to. Long hair can also be worn as comfortably as medium or short length hair.

However, you must remember not to wear the hair backward as that won’t give your face an oval appearance.

If you have a lot of curly hair, then make use of the curls to add length to your face. You can also pull back a bulk of hair behind the ears and wear a few ringlets in the front to tone down the full face of the hair.

As you can see, there are many appropriate hair styles for a classic round face.  But keep one thing in mind. You must enjoy your hair style.

It is meaningless to select any style which is not possible for you to maintain or one that you don’t enjoy at all.


It is not always necessary to stylize your hair according to your face shape. Modify the rules to suit you. You must have fun with your hair, and if you are having fun, you will look great automatically.
