Let’s see some simple tips you can follow to choose cuts and hairstyles that complement your face perfectly.
But first, how can you determine if you have this kind of face? You have a round face if:
- Your forehead, cheekbones and jaw line are almost the same width.
- The width and length of your face are approximately equal.
- You have soft features and you do not have sharp angles in your face.
Pixie with side bangs
A pixie with long layers that extend over the forehead, sides and a pair of layers on the back of the head draw attention to the forehead, which makes the face look thinner. The multiple layers enhance the eyes and cheekbones.

You can choose bobs with layers that go over the chin, while the back layers stay shorter. The lines of the side bangs balance the curves of the face and make it thinner.
Shaggy bob

This cut is also ideal for fine textured hair because it adds movement and you can add volume to the crown easily with a lightweight card and fixer.
Long hair in layers
This is another option, but there is one thing you should keep in mind. Whether you have straight or curly hair, make sure the layers do not end up on the chin, as this will widen the face. The layers that go over the chin give the face a more oval shape and, therefore, help create an illusion of smaller width.
Try cutting hair in triangular layers. Layered in the back and bottom of your hair is another good option.
Long hair with side bangs
