A Comprehensive Guide

Narrow forehead. Look for layers which feather away from your face with minimal volume around the front. Select a style that is less voluminous than Farrah Fawcett’s but more like Jennifer Aniston’s. For a pixie cut, what about a pompadour or faux hawk?

Asymmetric nose. Try an asymmetric hairstyle with a side part in it. A bob or lob is classic and timeless. If you want something edgier, ask about shaving one side to create asymmetry.

Petite nose. Certain hairstyles on a small nose may make her look child-like and youthful.Hair styles should be full but without bangs.A medium or long shag with top volume will give you a polished youthful appearance.

Prominent nose. One can create softness around the face so as to elongate it thus creating balance.Select wispy facial framing starting at the cheekbones and blending towards the ends of your hair.This approach goes well with any kind of hairstyle.

Small chin. These hairstyles balance out this feature by being swept up and away from your face.Hence, avoid having too much puffy sides because this has an effect of making round faces look wider.Consider either getting choppy layers on shaggy bob or short shag instead.

Large chin. No chin-length hairstyles.If your hair is shorter or longer than your chin then it makes your face appear longer, slimmer and balanced.To get some facial framing, advise the stylist not to go below the level of the chin when cutting.

Maintaining Your Haircut

Before looking at our gallery of haircut for round faces consider how often they require maintenance in terms of salon visits & daily styling requirements?

Haircut Frequency:

Make a low-maintenance hair decision that will leave you visiting salons either annually or biannually. Your best bet would be bobs, lobs, shags or layered cuts. If you don’t want to visit the salon regularly, avoid pixies or extreme styles. Visit the gallery and pick any hairstyle if you can handle monthly trims. Tell your stylist about your preferred maintenance level for bangs. Are you ready for two weeks’ salon visits? Share your thoughts with your hairstylist on whether to choose a punky style or classic angled bob cut. Try to show the picture in the gallery that attracts you most among others so that he/she could follow it as a guide.
