When it comes to face shapes, we know how confusing it can get, especially since there are so many different types of face shapes to go around. There’s diamond, oblong, square, round and plenty others we don’t want to bore you with. What’s most important is that you know how to identify the kind of face shape you have and what hairdos will complement your face the best.
Here, we zone in on all the deets about rounded face shapes: it’s circular and appears wider and shorter. People with a round face also have a lower hairline and a shorter chin. Those with round faces may be very focused on bringing the attention away from their faces, and while we’ve got some hairdos to do just that, we also think that flaunting your unique round faces may be just the way to go.
Read on to get the lowdown on the types of hairstyles you can try that are not only celeb-approved but will also give you the confidence to put your best face forward.
We start off the list with the easiest hairstyle to achieve, it’s fuss-free and only requires a minute in the morning (especially if you already have straight hair). We spotted Sohee from Korean girl group Wonder Girls rocking this look that complements her round face perfectly.
To achieve the curled ends, just run a hair curler over the ends of your straight hair and you should be good to go. This gives your hair a bit of structure and an added touch of femininity.
Show off your round face shape with this hairdo that’s sure to turn heads. We love how well this look complements Oh My Girl’s Arin and how her blunt bob actually lengthens her face.
The bangs are also perfect for covering up a low hairline and a shorter-looking forehead. Tip: add a clip above your ears for that effortlessly dainty look.
This long bob is a perfect match to Adele’s rounded face shape, and if your face shape is similar to hers, you may want to give this look a shot. It’s short enough to make a statement but not too short that you have to worry about your hair taking forever to grow back.
You can even switch things up a little and add a half updo to your lob for some added volume and definition.
Too busy to come up with a complicated hairstyle? Well, you can let your hair down with this one as it requires little to no effort (especially if your hair is already naturally wavy).
But, if you do have straight hair and can’t find the time in the morning to curl your hair, try this tip that requires no time at all. All you have to do is to tie your hair into four braids the night before and spritz your favourite beach spray onto each braid. And there, you’ll have perfectly natural beachy waves in the morning that’s effortlessly easy to achieve.
Those with round face shapes may be looking for ways to get the attention away from their faces but we say, why not embrace it? Take it from model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen – she loves showing off her features and does so frequently with a sleek high bun.
To cop her look, all you’ll need is a hair tie, hairspray (to keep those strays in place) and lots of bobby pins. It’s a look that’s perfect for a day at the office and in the evening on a date.
The La La Land actress sure knows the best hairdos to complement her rounded face shape. From long wavy curls to high ponies, Emma Stone’s tried it all – but our favourite has still got to be this updo.
We love it because it gets the hair away from your nape while also looking super classy. For this look, let your bangs be free as you tie the rest of your hair up. If you’ve got naturally straight hair, run your bangs through a hair curler and you’re good to go.
No bangs? No problem. To give the illusion that you’ve got bangs, take a small section of your hair from each side of your head and pin them back with a bobby pins (or if you want an extra feminine touch, opt for pearly clips).
We stole this idea from Selena Gomez when she rocked this look in her Bad Liar music video – we love how it makes her look younger while also letting her round face shape shine.
