ROUND FACE HAIRSTYLES
I have a round face. What tips do you have for me?
Decrease the volume at the sides and ear area. Increase height
and length should be beyond the chin or just above it. A side
part works well. Keeping hair off the face at the cheek area is
also recommended.
You have a round face if it is as wide as it is long. However,
this can
vary slightly and your face might be slightly less wide than long.
With a round face you need a hairstyle that is longer than chin
length.
A chin length style would accentuate the round face.
If you prefer short hair however you should opt for a swept back
style.
Avoid very short crops, haircuts with straight bangs and center
parts.
A side swept fringe would be ok and could even have a flattering
effect.
Side fringes can make your face look narrower.
Layer the top and keep the rest of the hair close to the face.
It will make the shape of your face look longer.
Try to avoid big curly hairdos because again it would add volume
to the side and makes the face look wider.
You need less volume at the sides because that would make your
face look wider and more volume
on the top to make it look longer.
The widest part of your face is where your ears and cheeks are
and you must avoid having the weight line of the hairstyle in
this area. It would make your face look even wider.
