Having a round face doesn’t limit your hair possibilities, it multiplies them. The right short haircut can bring out your cheekbones and define your jawline. Think face-slimming angles, volume in all the right places, and short hairstyles for round faces that make getting ready easier than ever.
1. Tousled Pixie
Try an energetic cut like this pixie that has layers that look like they danced into place. The messy texture creates playful height and movement, giving round faces that perfect lift. It’s low-maintenance but sharp.
2. Sleek Pixie With Side-Swept Bangs
If sophistication had a haircut, this sleek pixie would be it. The straight lines and smooth finish make it feel sleek and stylish. Perfect for fine or medium hair, it keeps everything in place with a smooth finish.
3. Tapered Bob
This tapered bob is where clean lines meet a modern aesthetic. The straight and rounded cut tapers subtly at the nape, creating a soft, elegant shape. The angles elongate round faces and streamline, adding balance.
4. Side-Swept Pixie
Bring your gorgeous eyes front and center with swept-up styling and feathered layers. The short sides of this stunning pixie create lovely angles, while the longer top pieces add movement and lift. Plus, natural volume at the crown helps elongate round facial features.
5. Tapered Layers With Side-Swept Bangs
This ultra-sleek bob is pure hair goals with its rich deep chocolate shade and perfectly angled cut. The subtle point-cutting technique at the ends creates such soft movement. This modern take on a classic shape proves that sometimes less really is more.
6. Cropped Layers With Curtain Bangs
Short layers meet curtain bangs in this easy, breezy hairstyle. It’s a cut that feels fresh thanks to the side-swept curtain bangs, working well with both straight and wavy textures. The cropped, textured layers give it a lightweight feel (and a lift if you need one!).
7. Tight Layered Curls
These springy curls are bouncy, beautiful, and absolutely brilliant. Your natural texture becomes the star of the show with this perfectly proportioned cut for round faces. The carefully carved shape lets those gorgeous spirals do their thing while keeping the shape totally refined. (Mix your favorite leave-in conditioner with curl cream for the ultimate definition cocktail.)
8. French Bob With Bangs
This timeless French bob hits all the right notes with its chic blunt cut and face-flattering bangs. The chin-length perimeter creates vertical lines that shine. The full, straight-across bangs add a gorgeous focal point. Quick Tip: dry shampoo at the roots gives this style wonderful lift and texture between washes.
9. Side-Swept Pixie
Rocking a pixie cut has never looked fresher than with this swooping side-swept style. The longer pieces on top create fabulous movement, while the tapered sides keep things super sleek. This cut works well on fine hair by creating natural volume at the crown. For that salon-fresh look, flip your brush upward while blow-drying to get maximum lift at the roots.
10. Wavy Bob
Hello, gorgeous waves that look totally effortless but pack major style points. The minimal layers create natural volume while keeping the shape lifted but not too triangular. A 1-inch curling iron is perfect for recreating these soft, bouncy waves.
