Have a Round Face? These 25 Hairstyles Will Look Amazing On You

As much as we love the idea of a complete before/after makeover and the transformative power that comes with a brand new cut, there’s still that 50/50 chance it could go very, very wrong. But it doesn’t have to be a leap of faith every time you pay a visit to the salon—especially when you know which hairstyles are best suited for your face shape.

If yours is round (your celebrity doppelgangers include Chrissy Teigen, Priyanka Chopra, Miranda Kerr, and Gabrielle Union), the goal is to lengthen and to add definition, which Matrix celebrity hair stylist George Papanikolas says can be achieved with layers (for more structure), a middle part (to create symmetry), and the right styling (either long flowing hair or a top knot for a lengthening effect—and not slicked-back ponytails).

“Long hair is more flattering on this face shape,” Papanikolas says, but it varies by texture. “Straight hair and soft face-framing layers also lengthens the face, giving the illusion of an oval shape. If you have wavy hair, try to wear it flatter on top with more waves below the chin.”Avoid bobs and blunt bangs (ask for heavy, side-swept fringes, instead), because they will only make you look rounder.
