Not all short hairstyles are good for a round face, but some of the ones below look so cute that you just can’t deny yourself the pleasure of trying a cheeky short haircut for a change. Pixie is the most popular short cut for a round face, but shorter versions of bobs can also be flattering if styled right.
If your face is round, your short hair should cover your ears. Normally, short hairstyles are created easily with a mousse and a blow dryer. Any round face looks thinner if the bangs are styled asymmetrically on one side. You can run your fingers through the hair to add vertical lines and make it sharper.
As you can see, most short hairstyles for round faces have elongated A-line contours. Virtually all bobs, pixies and graduated cuts with a feathered finish feature side swept bangs that visually elongate the round face. Take this idea as a base when styling your short hair for a super flattering look.
There is a perception that hairstyles with rounded shapes are not suitable for round faces. In reality, if you add texture to your short bob by defining edges and occasional braids, you’ll get a really fantastic look that’s extremely chic and complementary to your face shape.
Retro short hairstyles also look lovely , say finger waves combed back over the base of a short bob. Do a side parting and comb wavy bangs to one side as in the photos below for a stunning dramatic look, appropriate for most big events or theme parties.
