If you want face framing but wish to avoid the potential emphasis it can cause toward your cheeks, ask your stylist to cut a framing that points just below your cheeks toward your jawline.

Soft Waves

Unlike thick curls, which could overwhelm a round face, soft waves add texture without adding width. Beachy, easy waves will work with any length.

Subtle waves give just the right amount of volume without adding too much width. A bob cut with graduation in the back can add more volume for women with thin hair and round faces.

Effortless Lob

A lob that hits anywhere below the chin is always a yes, please! Longer strands draw the eye down your face creating a longer appearance. We love how effortless this style is, yet the not-so-styled look is by stylist Chris Jones.

Volume On Top

Adding volume to the top of any short haircut will be flattering with a round face.

Shoulder-Length Lob

This haircut isn't completely short, but we say it's just the right dance between long enough to wear in a ponytail and short enough to be low maintenance over time.
