First things first: there’s no single “right” way to get a haircut. Hair is personal, and what matters most is that you feel comfortable and confident in your style! If you’re searching for haircuts for a round face, you’ve likely considered what styles suit your shape.
Even if you think certain looks won’t work for you, remember that it’s all about finding a skilled hairstylist. Celebrity stylist Justine Marjan, who has worked with stars like Khloé Kardashian and Ashley Graham, emphasizes that your haircut should be a team effort.
The best haircut is one that boosts your confidence, so don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t have a certain style just because of your face shape. A skilled hairstylist can help adapt your desired look to fit your unique features since there’s more to consider than just the shape of your face.
If you want some specific ideas, hairstylist Jennifer Korab says her clients with round faces often ask for styles like long layers, lobs, side-swept bangs, shags, angled bobs, and asymmetrical bobs. These styles can help create the illusion of length and angles.
Volume at the crown can help elongate your face,” she explains. “Side-swept or curtain bangs highlight your eyes and soften your features, while layers add movement. Longer styles that go past the chin are especially flattering for a more elongated appearance.
Bangs That Frame Your Face
Curtain bangs look fantastic on everyone, making them one of Marjan’s favorite styles. She loves the face-framing look with layers, like Sabrina Carpenter’s hair. To style, use a round brush and blow-dryer, then set with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Hairspray for light hold and shine.
French-Inspired Bob
Who says round faces can’t wear bobs? Marjan loves the short French bob with blunt ends above the chin, which helps lengthen the neck and enhance your profile. Pair it with face-framing bangs and style with TRESemmé products for a polished finish.
Smooth Layers
Minimalists will love this classic look. Sleek, straight, long hair looks stylish and flattering,” says Marjan. Pair it with long layers that frame the face, and if you need extra length, extensions work well. For a shiny finish, use the GHD Chronos styler.
Butterfly Haircut
The butterfly haircut has romantic, bouncy layers that flatter round face shapes.”It adds volume at the top and texture to the ends,” says Marjan. Just ask your stylist for lots of layers to achieve a bouncy blowout, and use Velcro rollers for long-lasting curls.
Side-Swept Long Bob
Side-swept bangs are back, showcased by Emma Stone’s effortless long bob. The bangs create angles and highlight her cheekbones, while the lob makes her face look longer for a more balanced look,” says Korab. To style, blow-dry the bangs to one side and use a curling iron for soft waves in the lob.
Textured Bob Hairstyle
Texturing your bob adds dimension and style.” Kerry Washington’s bob brings volume and movement, making it a great option for round faces,” says Korab. For this look, ask for choppy layers, use a texturizing spray, and style with a medium-barrel curling iron.
Wavy Long Bob
A wavy lob is ideal for round face shapes, adding texture and movement. “The soft waves create dimension, while the length enhances the face shape,” says Korab. Use a curling wand for loose waves and finish with a texturizing spray for a relaxed look.
Middle Hairstyle Part
Middle parts are perfect for round face shapes as they frame the face and highlight the eyes.“To create this style, use a straightener to make your hair sleek,” says Korab. Part your hair down the center and apply a smoothing serum or light-hold hairspray for shine and hold.
