01Why the Right Haircut Matters for Round Faces

Why the Right Haircut Matters for Round Faces Image

Round faces typically have soft angles, fuller cheeks, and equal width and height. While this facial shape radiates youthfulness, certain haircuts can either enhance your features or exaggerate width.

The best haircut for round face women works to:

  • Add vertical length and dimension
  • Create angles or structure
  • Frame the face delicately without widening the cheeks

Texture matters too. The same haircut behaves differently on curly or fine hair, so we've categorized options based on hair type to help you find your perfect match.
