Are you going to get a new haircut? You can’t do that without considering your face shape. Picking a hairstyle that suits your face’s shape is very important. The hairstyle that you choose, must glorify your look. And when we talk of a round-shaped face, we have to think more technically. The round faces often have chubby cheeks and the first impression we get is of a plus-sized woman. So, the focal point for getting a haircut should be to camouflage the roundness of the face. So, pick a style that gives a slimming impression to your face. Before we proceed towards the most suitable hairstyles for round faces, here are a few points to remember (only for round-faced women).
Things to Remember!

- For a chubby face, you need to distract other’s attention towards some attention getting thing (a stylish hairstyle).
- Both medium-long and short hair can be experimented on a round face. Just know, your hairstyle MUST be asymmetrical.
- Too long hair is not recommended for you. Maximum length should be a bit longer than your shoulders. Not more than that.
- Avoid heavy straight bangs as it forms a horizontal line and that tends to add an illusion of width to your face.
- For an overweight girl opting for a sleek and sassy hairstyle would be a wrong decision. It would not go right with your personality.
- Be it a longer or shorter hairstyle that you choose, make sure you have some long bangs covering both sides of your face. It’s the best way to get an elongated or oval-faced effect.
- Adding some volume on top of your head, brings glamour and length.
- While picking, your hair cut, your overall personality and hair texture should also be considered. As some hairstyles are not suitable for thin hair and vice versa.

Normally, a messy hairstyle is suggested to those having an oval face. As the short messy curls broaden the face. But the ladies with round face, who want to have that sassy messy look, you too can put on this look. Firstly, make sure your hair dresser does not cut your locks too short (it should be more than your chin length). Length is important. Short locks are more voluminous and that’s what you don’t need. Keep it straight on the sides and opt for messy curls on the roots.
