Hair Cut for Round Face

» from 2short on Mar '06 | 3 replies.

When choosing your new haircut style you should consider which styles you like, which styles suit your lifestyle and hair type, but above all — which style of hair cut will look the most flattering on you.

While choosing the right haircut style is ultimately about your personal taste there are some basic rules you should follow. At the top of this list is considering what styles suit your face shape.

If you have found out that you have a round face, remember either to have short hair or chin length hair. You should consider layering your hair right from the top and keep your hair close to your face. Do not cut your hair very, very short and have a haircut that is rounded and ends at your chin. This will exaggerate your face shape even more. Straight bangs are not recommended, but if you love bangs, you should curl them and wear them to the side. These types of hairstyles will make your face look longer, which is what you want to strive for. Do not keep a lot of hair near the sides of your face and near your ears. However, wispy curls curled towards your face is recommendable. The point of all these hairstyles is to make your face look longer and less rounder and to accentuate your beautiful features.

Round faces are characterized by a round chin. Because they lack the length of the oval face, the hair should be cut to create the illusion of length in the face. This is achieved by creating height on top of the head, and minimizing hair width by keeping it flat at the sides and around the ears.

Jessica - Wed, Jul 23rd, 2008 this article contradicts itself twice! 1) "remember either to have short hair or chin length hair." vs. "Do not cut your hair very, very short and have a haircut that is rounded and ends at your chin" 2) "Do not keep a lot of hair near the sides of your face and near your ears. " "This is achieved by creating height on top of the head, and minimizing hair width by keeping it flat at the sides and around the ears." This article was obviously not written by a hairdresser, so what validity does it have? 1 | 0 | Quote | Post to Blogs Post this to Blogs

Joannah - Thu, Jan 24th, 2008 Short uneven and/or short angled bangs work better for my high forehead and round face than long shaggy bangs that many round faced women are encouraged to wear. I've tried both but am sticking to my short angled bangs from now on. They're less irritating too and don't grow too long too fast either. 5 | 0 | Quote | Post to Blogs Post this to Blogs
