the 7 best
haircuts for
round faces

From a choppy lob and modern mullet to face-framing layers, tousled waves and a textured pixie, we tapped celebrity hairstylists and searched the world wide web for the best haircuts for round faces.

SHORT & TEXTURED

"Without a doubt, a side-swept shape always delivers on softening rounded shapes," says celebrity hairstylist Kieron Justin Fowles.

CHOPPY LOB

Take it from Selena Gomez: Blunt ends create a flattering contrast with a round face, while the length–not quite skimming the shoulders–makes your neck appear longer.

LONG LAYERS

If flowing locks are more your speed, opt for a cut that is full of dimension. "[This cut] suits everyone and the options are endless!" explains Fowles.

BLUNT LOB

If a round face is often seen as extra young (which, no problem there), a sleek, almost severe cut and style will offset any sense of being too "cute."

WAVY LOB

"This haircut is flattering, as it opens the face up with soft layers to give an elongated look. It can also soften features," says celebrity stylist Jennifer Korab.

VOLUMINOUS PIXIE

You might think a close crop would draw even more attention to the shape of your face, but as Jennifer Hudson proves, it actually does the opposite.

FACE-FRAMING
LAYERS

"This is more flattering than a harsh blunt cut. By having long and layered hair, it will also help elongate your face shape," says Korab.
