The 17 Best Short Hairstyles For Round Faces
Short hairstyles and round faces are an iconic duo.
You have more haircut options than you may think if you are an individual blessed with a round face shape. We've found the trendiest short hairstyles for round faces because busy Southern women don't have time to fix a long hairstyle every morning. If you've been debating whether or not you can pull off a short haircut with a round face, we're here to prove that you can. Whether you want to go super short with a pixie or keep it neutral with a long bob, these short hairstyles are oh-so-flattering.
Asymmetrical lobs are incredibly flattering on round faces because it draws the eye down from the cheekbones, says Lauren Rowley, a stylist with decades of experience and the founder of Bella Hue Haircare. Rowley says that if you're looking for a way to style your hair other than wearing it down, try a half-up look, which adds volume and elongates the face. The good news is that these short haircuts are low-maintenance and easy to manage, so you'll spend less time getting ready and more time getting that to-do list done.
If you have a round face and have had the same haircut for years, these short styles are the perfect way to update your look. These stylish short haircuts for round faces will be your new inspiration, so bring a picture to the hair salon for your next appointment.
Sleek Center Part with Lob
A center part with super straight strands will complement a round face, especially with a long bob cut just above the shoulders.
Classic Bob with Bangs
A classic bob haircut with bangs works with the shape of a round face, instead of against.
Swide-Swept Bangs
Side-swept bangs always flatter a round face, whether with a long or super short cut.
Asymmetrical Lob
An asymmetrical lob provides a nice contrast to the symmetry of a round face.
Face-Framing Bob
If you want face framing but wish to avoid the potential emphasis it can cause toward your cheeks, ask your stylist to cut a framing that points just below your cheeks toward your jawline.
Soft Waves
Unlike thick curls, which could overwhelm a round face, soft waves add texture without adding width. Beachy, easy waves will work with any length.
Side-Swept Short Bob
A side-swept bob is another haircut for round faces that creates a flattering asymmetrical look.
Completely Side-Swept
Rock a completely side-swept pixie for a flattering, fun look that you can quickly pin back for busy mornings.
Angular Bob
A lob that's shorter in the back and longer in the front creates a flattering, angled look that makes round faces appear longer.
Blunt Pixie
Show off your face shape and save time getting ready with a blunt, modern pixie cut.
Bob with Back Graduation
Subtle waves give just the right amount of volume without adding too much width. A bob cut with graduation in the back can add more volume for women with thin hair and round faces.
Effortless Lob
A lob that hits anywhere below the chin is always a yes, please! Longer strands draw the eye down your face creating a longer appearance. We love how effortless this style is, yet the not-so-styled look is by stylist Chris Jones.
Volume On Top
Adding volume to the top of any short haircut will be flattering with a round face.
Shoulder-Length Lob
This haircut isn't completely short, but we say it's just the right dance between long enough to wear in a ponytail and short enough to be low maintenance over time.
Angular Lob
An angular cut that's longer in the front and shorter in the back will flatter a round face.
Slicked Back With Volume
The slicked-back look is trending right now, so add height with a teasing comb to make it work for round faces.
Classic Bob
A classic bob hairstyle that hits at the chin is not only flattering but also easy to style.
