Face Shape: Round

This face shape:

• Round face shapes are typically very symmetrical
• Face is about the same width and length
• A soft, rounded jawline and chin
• Cheekbones and chin aren't particularly prominent on a round face
• Tend to be circular in appearance and have no major angles or edges
• Note: Fuller faces are not automatically "round" just because they have rounded curves; you can have a full, rounded heart-shaped face, for example; this is mostly about bone structure and proportions

Recommendations:

• Pixies with volume on top and styles with center parts can be very flattering on round face shapes
• Opt for longer fringe and face-framing layers to lessen the appearance of width and help add angles to your face (adding a "frame")
• Sleek bobs are extremely flattering, particularly if they are an inch or more below the jawline
• Avoid styles where the majority of the volume appears on the sides of the hair; aim for volume above or below the mid-face instead
• The goal is to minimize the appearance of width and add definition to the angles of the face
