Below is the list of the best hairstyles for round faces. 

1. Blunt Bob

A round face is way too symmetrical that it is difficult for short hair to look flattering. However, do not let it feel you FOMO as you can get a blunt bob. 

In a blunt bob, all hair is cut in one length in a way that adds volume to the upper half of the face while the lower half looks more prominent. 

2. Shaggy Bob

Are your hair waxy or have natural loose curls? If yes, the most compatible and effortless hairstyle for your round face is the shaggy bob.

With short hair, Shaggy Bob has asymmetrical layers that balance out the symmetrical round face and make your facial features more prominent without making the face look big. 

3. Sleek Bob

For an elegant look with short hair, go for a sleek bob. Although a straight sleek bob looks great, you can choose an angled sleek bob as well for a more voluminous look.

A sleek bob with a middle or side parting covers the broad cheeks and gives the face a skinny appearance. 

4. Wolf Cut

Wolfcut is one of the hairstyles you cannot go wrong with regardless of your face type. Shoulder-length hair with shorter layers around the face gives round faces an instant slim look.

Also, it works great for ladies who prefer little messy hair with center parting. 

5. Long Wispy Bangs

Does your round face resemble that of Sabrina Carpenter’s? Well, it is your sign to get inspiration from her hairstyle and go for long wispy bangs.

Whether it is for a party or an official event, you can always style long wispy bangs for any event. Moreover, they are a good choice for women attracted to blunt bangs. 

6. Tight Curls

Tight curls can be a bit challenging hairstyle to try for round faces. But, it can also be the most trending and chic haircut when done right.

Tight curls can help you hide your round cheekbones and make your face look slender. 

7. Curly Updo

Curly hair is generally thick and being on the sides of the face can make it look more round. Therefore, it is recommended to tie your hair in a curly updo.

In this way, the attention will be more on your hair rather than the roundness of your face and your face will get comparatively slimmer as well.

8. Butterfly Cut

If you want an ethereal haircut on your long hair, no other option can beat the butterfly cut. 

The bouncy layers in the butterfly cut to soften the round facial features. So, it is a chubby hairstyle for round face to look slim,

9. High Ponytail

For women who prefer straight long hair but cannot decide how to style it so that their faces appear more structured, a high ponytail is worth a try.

A high ponytail adds lengths to the head region. Resultantly, it gives a round face an elongated look, perfect for a friend’s wedding or a day out.

10. Lob with Soft Wave

Without any doubt, long hair suits a round face the best. This is because the attention is divided between the hair and the face making your feature more uniform.

So, how about you go for a long bob instead of a plain bob and give it layers? This is how you can make your thin hair a voluminous form.

11. Long Layers with Side Part

If you are looking for slimming haircuts for chubby faces, long layers with side parts can be your go-to choice. When you part your hair in a way that more of your layers are on one side of the face, it softens the sharpness of the round face.

Thus, the face appears oval and slimmer. 

12. Deep Side Part

If your face is both round and chubby, then the deep side part is for you. Deep side parting helps to lengthen the face and add a slimming effect to it.

Furthermore, adding waves to the deep side of parted hair elevates the outcome. 

13. Pixie Cut 

Last but not least, we have a hairstyle for ladies who just want short hair on their round faces. As it is difficult for short hair to make a round face slender, we suggest a pixie cut.

In pixie cut, there are short layers in the head region above the ears which balances the chubby cheeks. 

Even if you get the best haircut, it is essential to style it right for the haircut to compliment you.

So, here are 5 tips to avoid while styling the hair on round faces.

1. Do Not Tug Hair Behind the Ears

It is generally recommended to wear hairstyles with a side parting to create asymmetry on the round faces. However, you can wear a middle part as well.

The only condition is that avoid tugging hair behind your ears as they make cheekbones apparent and your face chubby. 

2. Try to Add Texture to Your Sleek or Dead Straight Hair

Hair with less volume draws more attention to the shape of the face. In contrast, wavy or curly hair adds volume to the hair and covers both sides of the face. 

So, your face naturally looks slim. 

3. Give up on Blunt Bangs

Bang hairstyles for round faces to look slim can be quite tricky. So, there is one tip to it. Do not get hairstyles with blunt bangs.

This is because blunt bangs cut the upper part of the face and the lower two-thirds of the face become more round and big. 

4. Do Not Cut Your Hair Shorter Than Your Ears

Just like blunt bangs, short hair also makes the lower part of the face appear wider and chubbier. So, avoid cutting your hair too short, and even if you want you, the pixie cut is a good option.

5. Avoid One-Length Long Haircuts

The trick with a round face is to add asymmetry in the round symmetrical face shape. As one-length long hair is symmetrical, it is good to avoid it.

Rather, you can go for hairstyles with layers or a jaw-length blunt bob cut. 

Round faces become slimmer when you add dimensions to the sides of the face through layers, curls, updos, and side parting. You can try each of these hairstyles without actually cutting the hair by using a Beauty Plus camera.
