50+ Hairstyles For Round Faces To Compliment Your Look
Any face shape that is remotely different from the classic ideal of the oval is, or was at some point, shamed. But not anymore! Here are over 50 hairstyles for round faces that you can try, all picked to highlight your attributes, not hide them!
Like square faces, round faces tend to be shorter and more aligned. A defining feature of round faces is that the distance from the nose to almost any point on the edge of the face is the same.
Short Hairstyles For Round Faces
1. Natural hair
Natural hair tends to form an even, rounded shape around the head if left alone. This matches the shape of your face and compliments it, so have a go at it!
2. Straight bangs
This kind of bangs add contrast to the lines of your face and can either distract or highlight it, depending on the length.
3. Pixie hairstyles for round faces
Why not try a pixie cut? After all, the style fits so well it might as well have been designed for this face shape!
4. Side swept bangs

Hi there! I’m Kate, great to meet you! I used to be the kid in school who always had the most complicated braids and as young as 14 years old I was the go-to schoolyard hairstylist. Working with hair has always relaxed me and I am always looking for new styles to try. My latest achievement is a great looking undercut and blue-black dye job on one of my friends. Now I’m blending my skill at hairstyling with my passion for writing and doing what I love.
