Before we start with the snipping, let’s first help you confirm if you have a round face.

How To Recognize A Round Face

If you have a round face, the key characteristic is equal length and width of your face. Compared to other face shapes, the length of your face is usually the shortest.
Your face is widest at the cheekbones.
Your jawline is less defined and angulated. It’s usually rounded and full. The width of your forehead and jawline is almost the same.
Your chin is rounded too with no visible angles.
Your face is pretty much symmetrical and you have a low round hairline. Overall, you have youthful and fuller face with more curves and less angles.

Ahead, a list of haircuts for round face.

haircuts for round face – bangs with tapered ends

1. Bangs With Tapered Ends

If you’re looking to add an angle to your face, layered bangs will do just the trick. Think of it as an edgy take on the standard style. When styling, backcomb to add a little volume to the crown and to create the illusion of a longer face. Tong the loose hair with a curling iron to lend a softer look while adding bounce to the body.

2. Chin Grazing Bob With Bangs

If you’ve got relatively thick hair, you can snip your way to the classic ‘90s-approved bob with brow-skimming bangs. In this cut, the ends of your hair almost brush the collar bone to make the cheeks appear narrower and to draw some attention to your décolleté. Also nice: the hair grazes the cheekbones and defines them perfectly. Love.

The last thing you want to do is box your face in which is why it’s wiser to introduce angles with dense layers.

7. Straight Cut

The best way to pull the focus south is to maintain a straight cut with long, sleek hair. You can invest in a straightening brush or introduce curls with a curling iron to style your hair. Since, split ends are common in long hair, it’s recommended to trim your hair regularly.

FAQs on Haircuts For Round Face

1. Suggest suitable bangs for round face.

Side swept bangs, choppy bangs, layered bangs, center parted bangs with sharp angles are ideal picks for round face women.

2. Suggest low maintenance haircuts for round face.

If you are on the lookout for low maintenance haircuts, avoid cuts with bangs especially if your hair texture is wavy. That’s because bangs require a certain level of maintenance and regular trimming (every two-three weeks). If you still want to go for bangs, you can get long side-swept bangs or curtain bangs that can be easily tucked in the side or pulled back along with the rest of your hair whenever you please. Short pixies or haircuts in which the hair length falls just beyond your shoulders are easier to maintain.

3. I am confused if my face shape is heart or round. Please help.

The main difference between heart and round shaped face is that the forehead is wider in the former case. Also, if you have a heart shaped face, your hairline won’t appear rounded. In fact, you will have a window’s peak which is a V shaped formation in the hairline on your forehead. Also unlike in a round shape face, your jawline will seem narrower and your chin will seem a bit sharp than curved.

4. What is recommended when considering haircuts for round face women with long hair? Please also suggest products for styling.

If you have long hair and round face, you can opt for long layers, side parted hair with loose curls and choppy layers. The products recommended below can help you maintain your long hair.

5. Which are the best haircuts for round face? Is pixie haircut for round face a wise decision?

Haircuts with a lot of texture, volume and layers are perfect for round face. This helps add movement and character to balance the overall roundness of the face. Pixie haircuts are fine as long as you lean towards messy or wavy pixie cuts. Avoid swept back pixie cut as it will only make your face appear more circular.
