Haircuts for a round face, photo and video
Holders of a round face shape are often complex because of their appearance, not finding similarities with film actresses and models, who usually have an oval type of face that seems to them to prevail. Chubby girls constantly find it difficult to find the right hairstyle for them. However, this problem can be solved by following the advice of hairdressers and stylists on choosing the right haircut, which will correct all imbalances and allow you to look at yourself in a completely new way.
How do you know if you have a round face type?
A round face is characterized by wide cheekbones and a wide forehead line, a smoothed chin. Usually, with a round type of face, the difference between its height and width is no more than 3 cm. At the same time, the width of the forehead, cheekbones and chin differs only slightly. The main disadvantage of this type of face is that it often looks flat.
What is recommended for a round face?
To make a round face look more elongated, we recommend using the following techniques. Firstly, this is a tall, fluffy haircut, which visually increases the height of the face, as well as the width of its upper parts – the cheekbones and forehead. This hairstyle should expand slightly upward.
The main task for you when choosing a haircut and hairstyle is to visually narrow the face, giving it a more elongated shape, which will more resemble not a circle, but an oval
Secondly, it is either a side parting, or a not very thick oblique bangs covering a significant part of the forehead. In this case, the effect is based on the asymmetry of the hairstyle. You can enhance it with contrasting hair styling on the left and right side.
Thirdly, it can be a haircut based on long curly hair covering the cheekbones, which will bring the shape of the face closer to oval. With this solution, a side parting is also recommended, but it should not be very pronounced.
Also, when performing haircuts for a round face, you can use the following techniques:
- hair length to the chin and below
- elongated square with sharp angles in front
- side bangs
- volume at the back of the hair and at the crown, but not at the cheeks
- multi-level haircuts that visually narrow and stretch the face, make it more proportional
- coloring and highlighting
What’s not good for a round face?
With a round type of face, it is not recommended to comb back the hair, do a straight parting, and also put the hair hanging down on the sides of the face inside. Due to the combing of the strands back, the round shape of the face becomes clearly visible. Inward curling and parted hairs accentuate it.
It is advisable that the strands slightly cover the face on the sides and be laid as naturally as possible.
In addition, with a round face type, you should avoid:
- straight and clear lines in the haircut, especially in the cheekbones
- short haircuts on curly and too lush hair
- heavy, voluminous bangs that can add extra volume to a round face
- spherical shapes in a haircut
- straight bob, which creates an emphasis on the cheeks (the only exception can be a bob with elongated strands)
- emphasizing the shape of a round face with round lines – rings, curls, curls and curls, which visually expand it
- straight, heavy and thick bangs
Short haircuts for round face
A short haircut helps to achieve maximum volume by grading and lightness of the cut hair. That is why short haircuts like “cascade” will look good on chubby women. Short layered haircuts create volume at the top of the hairstyle, so you can visually lengthen your round face.
In addition, you can use some tricks – for example, cover problem areas in the cheeks and cheekbones in a haircut with falling individual strands, which will visually narrow the face
Asymmetrical haircuts also create the appearance of a more proportional facial structure. They distract attention from round cheeks and wide cheekbones. Various light haircuts with “torn” strands of various lengths act in a similar way. Such strands, falling over the face, hide the extra centimeters from the side. The effect of disheveled, deliberately carelessly styled hair helps to distract attention from the rounded shape of the face.
Long and semi-long haircuts for a round face
Many haircuts for long and semi-long hair are capable of visually narrowing a round face, making it more elongated and symmetrical. The main rule of these haircuts is to avoid creating extra hair volume in the cheeks and cheekbones. The strands around the face should be worked out in such a way that they taper towards the ends, gradually becoming more airy and light.
When choosing the right haircut, consider your lifestyle, image and style, as well as facial features and hair characteristics.
In asymmetric haircuts and cascading hairstyles for hair below the shoulders, strands look very impressive in the front, at the level of the lips or chin. Such hairstyles can be supplemented with elongated oblique light bangs, which will visually narrow the round face even more. Colored strands, picturesquely shaping the entire face, are also able to give it an ovality.
So, haircuts “cascade”, “bob” (better in an asymmetrical version) and an elongated bob are the most advantageous haircuts for owners of a round face type. The main thing is to correctly place accents with bangs and strands. The bob may well be classic, but its graduated variation will allow you to achieve the greatest effect of narrowing the face.
