What is a Round Face?
Round faces are characterised by full cheeks, a rounded jawline, and similar face width and height, making them appear softer and more youthful. Celebrities like Selena Gomez, Emma Stone, and Chrissy Teigen have round faces and often wear hairstyles that elongate and define their features.
Round Face Dos and Don'ts
Dos
- Add volume to the crown to elongate the face.
- Choose side parts for a slimming effect.
- Opt for asymmetrical styles to add angles.
- Go for longer layers to create length.
- Use texture to add definition and balance.
Don'ts
- Avoid a blunt fringe that can accentuate roundness.
- Say no to rounded or circular cuts that mirror face shape.
- Avoid full curls or bobs ending at the jawline.
- Avoid centre parts that broaden the face.
- Avoid too many layers as they can add volume to the sides.
Our Recommended Hairstyles for Round Face Shapes
1. Side Part Lob
A side-parted lob (long bob) frames round faces beautifully, adding the illusion of length. This style helps define cheekbones and adds a touch of elegance. Selena Gomez, who has a round face, often goes for this style for a sleek yet soft look. To help create that enhanced body and volume from root to tip we would recommend opting for the round brush attachment featured in the 6-in-1 AERIS Multi-Styler to help give the side fringe extra volume it needs to stay in place. Complete the look with our Texturising Spray for instant texture and hold without weighing down your hair.
2. Sleek Lob
A sleek, straight lob that falls below the chin elongates the neck and adds sophistication. Chrissy Teigen shows how this style, with smooth edges and subtle volume, gives round faces a streamlined, polished appearance. To help achieve this sleek result with long-lasting smoothness, we recommend using the Beauty Works Straightener.
3. Textured Lob With Feathery Fringe
For a softer, chic look, a textured lob with feathered fringe works wonders for actress Emma Stone enhancing her jawline whilst remaining effortless. This layered fringe paired with the lob lengthens the face and highlights cheekbones. Shop our Clip in Fringe giving you the freedom to experiment at home, minus the commitment. Available in a range of colours, snap one in using the super handy four built-in clips.
