If you’ve got a round face and have been wondering what cut or style would actually be the most flattering for you, you’re in luck. As it turns out, this specific face shape lends itself to be one of the most versatile when it comes to haircuts. “There are several different haircut options that can transform and enhance round faces,” says Andrew Fitzsimons, celebrity hairstylist and founder of Andrew Fitzsimons Haircare.
Blunt cuts, lobs, bobs, pixies, curtain bangs and more, Fitzsimons points to many of our favorite haircuts that can define round faces in many ways. Jennifer Nast, senior stylist at Sharon Dorram at Sally Hershberger Salon, agrees and says there are a couple of things to consider when choosing what cut and length you want to go for to complement your round face. “Portion matters,” says Nast. “Make sure portions are not too close or too far apart. Neck length is also important. If you have a long neck, consider keeping hair on the longer side. If you have a short neck, try cutting your hair to collarbone length.”
To determine whether you have a round face or not, Fitzsimons says to look in the mirror and find the widest part of your face. He explains that people with round faces often find that their cheeks are the widest parts of their face. Then you’ll want to look at the length and width of your face, which, he says, should be similar or nearly equal in measurements. Finally, he says that a rounded hairline is a common attribute of round faces, so something to consider when trying to determine your face shape.
With all that in mind, below are the 30 best haircuts for round faces. Be sure to add this to your hair mood board the next time you visit your stylist.
