Short haircuts ideally suited for a round face
In ancient verses and poems they were called moon-faced, comparing them to the celestial body and not considering the round shape of the face a flaw... However, modern round-faced women for some reason are embarrassed by their moon-facedness and try in every way to mask it with cosmetics and other means. Most likely, they are not familiar with the ancient texts and do not know that men with narrow faces are delighted by a round female face.
Be that as it may, a host of hairdressers and stylists continues to make great efforts, developing hairstyle models for visually changing the round shape of the face. And all that advanced fashionistas can do is try on one haircut after another - from simple to the most intricate - to make themselves less round-faced and more attractive.
Main characteristics of a round face
If you are not sure that your face shape is really round, this is easy to check. Take a photo of yourself in which your face is shown in close-up, full face. Trace the contour of your face with a marker. Now measure the distance from the right ear to the left and from the tip of the chin to the crown of the head. Your face is indeed round if both of these distances are approximately equal.
There are several more signs that will help determine a round face shape. These are the equal width of the cheeks and cheekbones, a wide hairline on the forehead, and a strongly rounded, soft chin.
Did you find that the shape of your face matches several signs at once? In this case, it will be advisable to give preference to hairstyles and haircuts designed to conceal the flaws of a round face. The main goal of such haircuts is to bring the shape of the face as close as possible to oval, making it visually more elongated.
Hairstyles suitable for a round face
There are completely fail-safe options for hairstyles and haircuts suitable for all round-faced women. Such hairstyles include all those that lengthen and narrow the outlines of the face, making them oval. Hairstyles and haircuts for a round face should have maximum volume at the back, on the crown, and as little volume as possible in the cheek area.
To hide excessive roundness of the face, you can divert the gaze of those around you with soft, light waves. The length of such a haircut should be to the chin or slightly below it.
It is recommended to avoid small curls and completely straight hair without volume, as they will create the opposite effect.
Bangs should be combed to the side, not straight. Thick bangs are generally capable of giving the face additional roundness, so it's better for the bangs to be airy or multi-layered. Elongated side-swept bangs are another effective way to narrow the face with the help of long strands.
Elongated hair, combed slightly back, lightly wavy, with side-swept bangs or none at all, is also a good hairstyle option for a round face.
Stylists do not recommend elongated haircuts for women with fine hair. Voluminous short haircuts with volume in the upper part of the head and short temples will suit them better, possibly with elongated strands to frame the face on the sides.
An asymmetric haircut can become a real find for refreshing a moon-faced look. Such haircuts suit some women very well. With asymmetry, you need to create volume where needed, open the forehead, and cover the cheeks with strands of different lengths. Asymmetry successfully takes the emphasis off rounded features.
