Latest Women Fashion Guide
Is your face round? Are you having trouble picking out the perfect hairstyle that would complement your face? Don’t worry, because you are not alone. Many women also share this dilemma of finding the best hairstyle that would suit their round visage. RoundFull-looking face with a round chin and hairline. Widest point is at the cheeks and ears.TryHair styles with fullness and height at the crown. Off center parts. Short hair styles with a swept-back direction or hair styles that are longer than chin length. By layering the top to achieve fullness and keeping the rest of the cut relatively close to the face, your round face shape will appear longer and narrower.Avoid: Chin length hair with a rounded line that mirrors face’s round shape. Center parts. Short-short crops, straight "chopped" bangs. Fullness at side of ears. A rounded haircut ending at the chin will certainly add weight to your already round face shape. |
A round face is generally as wide as it is long in the dimensional sense. The hairline in a round face is often wide, and the cheeks are usually full. This facial shape also sometimes makes the neck seem shorter.
There is no hard and fast rule to creating the perfect hairstyle suitable for round faces. Most hairstyles designed for the round face, however, aim to make the face appear thinner and longer. They are also meant to direct the eyes away from the fullness of the cheeks. A woman with a round face may want to consider these two things whenever she is trying to fix her hair in a more flattering manner.
There are a few things that you may want to try out whenever you are styling your hair or getting your hair done in a salon. You could opt for short hairstyles that add length to your face, or those with the sides cut short or close to the face. Layered bangs also give the illusion of length to the face and should be chosen rather than the straight or heavy bangs; heavy or straight bangs seem to squash the face rather than lengthen it. Curls are also good, although they should be kept away from the cheeks. A bob cut above the chin will look nice for women with double chins rounding off their already round faces, while cropped hair may seem best to make a short neck appear longer.
A woman with a round face can also wear her hair long if she wants to.
Long hair done in layers or in a shag looks good on a round face
because it makes the face more slender. Long hair piled up on the head
also makes the face look thinner. The same slenderizing effect can be
achieved with the use of cleverly placed highlights, especially
highlights near the face. Long curls with dangling tendrils also suit
the round face quite nicely, as long as the tendrils do not fall near
the cheeks or close to the face. There are a lot of styles that a woman with a rounded face can
choose for herself. It is a matter of being versatile. But the one true
key to finding the perfect hairstyle for a woman with the round face
not lies in following the rules or the guidelines, but in following
whatever she feels comfortable with. She may follow all the rules and
all the trends, but if she is not comfortable wearing it, or if the
hairstyle doesn’t suit her lifestyle, then the effort is lost. What she could do to get the best hairstyle for herself is to
browse through some magazines, pick out the ones she likes best, and to
consult her hairstylist about it. In the end, the perfect hairstyle,whether your face is round or |
I have discovered that the visual sight line, where your attention is drawn to on a person’s face, is enhanced by where a hair style terminates. So, making certain that your hairstyle terminates below or above the jaw line, keeping the hair close to the face vs. rounded or full on the sides and creating height on top are the most flattering shapes for round or square face shapes.
A favorite shape of mine for a round or square face shape, or someone who wants to minimize a few extra added pounds, is what I call a diamond shape cut. This has height on top, crown or bang, minimal amount of width at the temples and a tapering length that just reaches collar length in back which is full enough to be seen from the front. It is just the right amount of hair, not too short and not too long, and it is a classic shape that only requires styling it differently to update it’s shape. If you have a round face shape or feel you want to slim down the appearance of your face shape, stay away from big-hair looks at all costs. Try to avoid hair styles with lots of action going on at ear level. There are lots of things that can be done with makeup that will give the illusion of more length or make a full face appear thinner. I recently ran across this article which may include some new tips for those of you who want to slim down the look of a round face shape. Also see: Bob Haircuts |
