LATEST HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES
Anyone who has a round face will tell you – not every hairstyle works. Those with round faces have to be careful when they select a new hairstyle or they could end up looking much heavier than they actually are. Round faces are very pretty, and the perfect hairstyle highlights the round face and makes it even prettier, without accentuating the roundness.
One of the most important things to consider when looking for a new hairstyle with a round face is the cut of the hair. Super short styles look great on round faces. A pixie cut can be a good idea, but only if there are some short, spiky layers that will draw attention away from the face. Otherwise, a pixie cut will make a round face look rounder and heavier than it actually is. If you don’t want such a short hairstyle, medium and long hairstyles are also excellent choices for anyone who has a round face.
Volume helps greatly when you are trying to find a good hairstyle for round faces. Medium length hair with lots of volume is one of the best types of hairstyles that you can wear. Layers added in the crown and back of the head will add volume as well. If you don’t want to have actual layers, you can use hot rollers or even hairpins to get the same kind of looks. Framing your face with the layers will help to lengthen it, but make sure that you avoid flat, straight hair, as this will make your face rounder.
EXAMPLES OF HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES
People who have round faces look for hairstyles that will not make their face appear even rounder. They want a hairstyle that will highlight their beautiful round face but not accentuate it.
When trying to pick the perfect hairstyle for a round face the cut of the hair is one of the most important features. People with round faces look very good with super short hairstyles. The pixie cut is a very good idea because the short spiky layers help to distract from the face. Long hairstyles are also an option. The best length to aim for is below the chin but slightly above the shoulders to achieve great volume. Layers can also be added throughout the crown and back of the hair in order to add even more volume. For those who do not want actual cut layers throughout a few rollers or pins can help them to achieve the same look. Layers, especially around the face help the face to appear longer rather than round.
Generally, people with round faces should try to stick to hair with a little volume rather than straight flat hair. Hair products and a brush can be used to help and add volume when doing daily styling.
SHORT HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES
You may think that it’s impossible to wear a short hairstyle when you have a round face. While it is true that those with round faces need to be a bit more careful when choosing a short style so that they don’t end up looking like balloons, there are plenty of great styles for you to choose from. Here are just two such styles.
Bob with Bangs
The bob is a great hairstyle. It’s become much more popular in the last year or so, and there is no end in sight to its popularity. A basic bob is a great hairstyle choice for anyone who has a round face. Have your stylist cut your bob so that it ends under your chin. Keep your bangs long and you’ll want the ends to be smooth, not choppy. Using a round brush, style your hair so that it all curls just slightly under. You want your hair to follow the curve of your face. Style your bangs in a sweep across your forehead and make sure to part it on the side to help bring out your face.
Fringed Pixie
Believe it or not, you can wear a pixie if you have a round face. The secret is the fringe. Have your stylist cut your pixie close to your head, but long enough that your hair still comes down in front of your ears, at least to your cheekbone. You want your hair to still frame your ear. Have your fringe either cut to angle across your forehead, or long enough where you can angle it yourself. This will help keep you from looking too round, and is a sexy and fun hairstyle that is so easy you’ll be out the door in five minutes.

All season she came out with dramatically new hairstyles for the different dances she performed. Whether you liked her dance performances or not, Kelly’s styles definitely stood out as wonderful examples of fashion-forward thinking. From dramatic spikes in her tango to her father’s Crazy Train to the cuter almost-bob style she had for her Samba.

How did she do it? Well, she certainly played with the color often. She showed us full blonde, streaked colors and brown for all different performances. She kept surprising us! She styled in spikes for her tango with dramatic flair, she had a 20’s style almost-bob for her samba, and she had a softer style for some of her other dances with some wavy, up-styled curls. She also used accessories like flowers to accent some of her cuts and add style or period fashion to the dances.

Mostly, however, her styles all conformed to some simple rules. With most of her styles, she creates length in her face by bringing the styles up and away from her face. She gives them lots of volume too, creating more length and balance for her face. Even with her brown bangs and curls, she kept the volume of the curls way above her chin. She avoided framing her face with chin length hair styles. That is how Kelly stayed in style!
HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES, WINTER, SUMMER 2010
HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACES, WINTER, SUMMER 2010
When your face is about the same length from your forehead to your chin and from your right side to the left side, your face can be clearly identified as round-shaped. If you are looking for a less scientific approach, you will find that your cheeks take up most of your face, and your features are close together. With a round face you will want your hair style to elongate your face.
Lengthening the look of your face is best done with layered bangs not straight or heavy bangs. This winter bangs are going to play an important role in hair fashions, so this is a great choice right now. The layered look with short or medium length hair can make your face appear longer, and give you a more balanced look.
If you like the shorter hair styles, then just stay away from the chin length bob style. You can get a bob if the bangs are cut much higher than the chin, or somewhat longer than the chin. This will not frame your face. Framing your face will make it look rounder, and while there is nothing wrong with a round face, you simply don’t want to accentuate that feature more.
For curly hair, make sure that your curls are higher than your cheeks. You do not want to create volume on the sides of your face because that will also make your face appear rounder. Use some natural-looking highlights to create depth in straight or curly hair as well.
