Asymmetry Bob

The bob cut is the hairstyle is a timeless trend. For round faces, there's nothing better than an asymmetrical cut, like Rihanna. If your hair is short, this option will frame your face giving you the same effect of an XL hair (long hair will be the most favorable for your face type).

The Ideal Ponytail

An Ariana Grande pin-straight style ponytail is not the most suitable for you. Try and stay away from those. Opt-in for a texture pony and waves to show off those locks.

Add Movement

As the hair expert indicates, adding body and movement to your hair is the key. Look how good waves in her long blond hair look on Amy Schumer. Her round face looks thinner! Long and loose waves visually lengthen the face.

Lateral hairstyle

One of the key hairstyles for a person with a round or plump face is a style like Amanda Seyfried's. Combing your hair sideways will create a non-centered hair effect, making your face look less round. It's something very similar to what you would achieve with the asymmetric bob.

Volume and Layers

Like an XL mane or asymmetric cuts, layers have the power to stylize and refine your face. Jennifer Lawrence's trick helps to make the longer layers fall under your chin, giving the illusion that your jaw is lower. With it, your face will look elongated.

Delicate bangs

Try to avoid heavy and marked bangs, like Dakota Johnson's. If you cut shorter bangs in the middle and longer ones to the sides, the effect will be very flattering. Although long hair is much more favorable for those with a round face, bangs won't be a limitation.
