The right haircut is the one that will be able to enhance your face, no matter what its shape. Choosing a hairstyle that isn’t really suited to round faces can make your face and your overall look look heavier. Here are some tips and hairstyles to adopt if you have a slightly round face.
Is my face round?
Round faces are characterized by full cheeks and a chin that remains fairly short. In this case, pay attention to the haircut you are going to adopt and even more so if you have decided to go for a short haircut. You have to take into account that the horizontal length and the vertical length are almost identical, in this case, the roundness is very pronounced.
Attention: Do not confuse overweight with round face. It is never because you have a few extra pounds that you have a round face. If you don’t like this round face, you can perfectly correct what you consider a defect thanks to an adapted haircut.
Round face: why choose a short cut?
Many people think that a round face and a short haircut do not go together. However, it is a mistake because the latter allows you to clear your face and avoids weighing down your features with the length. Thanks to the short haircut, you will emphasize your assets such as a fine nose, beautiful cheekbones…
You will create a more important volume on the top of the head and it is easier to do on short hair. By having volume on the head, the face already seems more oval. Don’t be afraid to add movement to your hair to soften your facial features and correct the roundness of your face. Straight hair accentuates the roundness. The volume will then be brought by the structure of the cut and then maintained thanks to the styling products and the perfectly adapted care. You can also opt for a balayage which gives an impression of volume and depth. Bright, light colors on top and darker tips soften the curves a bit.
Tips to adopt the short and slim your face
There are several ways to go for a short haircut despite your round face. Start by adding volume to the top of your hair. It is also possible to keep a bit of length until below the chin, it allows to break a bit the round shape of your face. Keeping a long lock on the forehead is also a good solution, it allows to refine your face.
No cut is forbidden for round faces, you just have to choose the length of your cut. The bowl cut is however among those that should be banished. You hide your assets by weighing down your face. As for the nature of your hair, which is also an important factor, ask your hairdresser for advice.
The gradient like the wick brings a little volume above the head and refines the features of the face. You can adopt it if your face is a little round. However, avoid volume on the side, which tends to reinforce the roundness, and the helmet effect is not very attractive either. The slightly plunging square is a good idea if it is not smooth so as not to accentuate this shape. The thin tabs on the ears are great to break the roundness, refine the face and give movement to your hairstyle.
Mistakes to avoid with a short cut and a round face
The bangs are too stiff
The straight, rigid, too flat and too strict fringe is to be banished completely and definitely. It brings even more roundness to your face and in addition it weighs it down. Volume is essential to avoid this sensation. Avoid the straight bangs and bet instead on the asymmetrical bangs or movement on the side. The asymmetrical wick makes it possible to create an angle which will make it possible to rebalance the curves.
Flat hair
Flat hair accentuates the curves of the face, so it is better not to give in to temptation. This is particularly true of women who let their hair grow and who, as a result, flatten their hair by being satisfied with a parting in the middle. Hiding your face behind a curtain of hair is not the best idea. It is better to make it an asset. Adopting a mid-length hairstyle with lots of movement is perfect.
Don’t give away the edges
If you have a round face, by clearing the edges, it allows you to elongate the face and avoid highlighting the roundness of your face. You then keep the lengths in the nape of the neck.
The lack of care
Once you’ve found your ideal haircut, it’s time to take care of your hair, especially if you have dry hair or if you like to do highlights or highlights. Do masks twice a week, moisturize your hair, in short pamper it!
