Short haircuts always look stylish and modern: teenage girls look older with them, and adult women, on the contrary, are younger, but they go for almost everyone. The main thing is to consider the type of face, if you decide to cut your hair short, because the geometry of the haircut is especially important for a short length. From this article you will learn all the nuances of choosing haircuts for a rounded face.
Shape Features
A round face is a shape with chubby cheeks, a tiny chin and a low forehead. If you have just such a face, you do not need to expand it further and emphasize the cheeks. On the contrary, in order to achieve harmony, you should try to visually stretch your face.
This can be done by many types of haircuts: it is important that the main lines are directed from top to bottom, and the shape gravitates to a rectangle or triangle.
If you have a small chin, you should avoid cutting strands on the same level with him. - with many styling options, such hair will visually shorten your face. For a low forehead to look good, you should carefully choose bangs - the classic direct options are unlikely to suit you. Finally, do not make haircuts that open and emphasize the cheeks.
Basic Rules
Many haircuts can look good with a round face, but it is important to pay attention to details. Sometimes the same haircut can look harmonious or not very depending on the length or type of hair.
If you are thinking about a short option, check out the rules that will highlight your face type.
- Try to open your neck as much as possible - this will allow you to visually slightly stretch your face. Various cascading haircuts, in which the main volume of hair is concentrated on top, are excellently suited for these purposes.
- Pay special attention to the strands in the face - carelessness in their design should not be allowed, they must be carefully worked out and lie neatly. For example, a “debut” haircut is a good option - it involves framing the face in an arc that perfectly conceals excess volume in the cheeks.
- Avoid very short haircuts with strands of the same length - a similar option for your face type may look careless and visually fill you up.
- Usually round faces look very miniature, so you should not choose too voluminous haircuts - behind this volume your facial features may be lost. For the same reason, you do not need to cover your face with massive bangs.
- Try to concentrate the bulk of the hair at the top, and abundant thinning can be done on the sides.
Common mistakes
It is important to know about which haircuts are not suitable for a round face categorically. Usually, masters in salons are able to adapt different haircuts to certain types of faces, however, it is useful for customers to delve into the details.
If you are going to get a haircut at home, it is especially important to carefully study the matter.
Pay attention to the main mistakes that cannot be made.
- You should not further emphasize the cheeks. This means that you should abandon the short strands that reach the line of the eyes, and also be wary of long, evenly cut hair framing the face.
- Another common mistake is the extra volume on the sides. Often it turns out in cascading haircuts with insufficient thinning. This type of haircut for curly hair is especially dangerous.
- Smooth straight bangs without thinning greatly reduce the face and make it even wider in appearance.
- A straight cut of all hair along one length is also a mistake when designing a hairstyle under a round face. Regardless of whether the hair is completely short or reaches 10-15 cm, you should try to vary the length at least slightly.
Options and Tips

How to do short?
Many women want to make the shortest possible haircut - for some this is part of the image, while others want to improve their hair after damage or just spend less time on care and styling.
Short haircuts always look stylish. But if you are dealing with a round type of face, you need to choose a haircut shape very carefully.
Consider the technology for the most popular short haircuts that suit you.
A pixie haircut is a pyramid shape: on the sides and on the back of the head, locks are made short, and at the top they are left long. You can comb them both directly and to the side. Consider the step-by-step instructions for performing such a short haircut.
- All hair is combed back and then divided using two parting. The frontal goes from the forehead to the crown, and the radial is carried from one ear to the other.
- The areas above the ears on the sides are divided diagonally. In the lower part, the hair is either cut short with scissors or with a razor. It is necessary that the length of the hair decreases towards the back of the head.
- Then they cut the strands a little longer on top of both sides.
- On the back of the head, you need to take hair in thin horizontal layers and cut it so that the length of the strands gradually increases when moving up - so the hair will repeat the shape of the head.
- At the crown, the hair is divided into two halves, pulled at a right angle and cut the diagonal in the direction from the ear to the forehead. The length may vary depending on what effect you want to get.
- Separate attention requires strands of hair in the face - they need to be drawn very carefully. Usually they are cut in a straight line.
"Bob" is one of the few haircuts that is recommended to do at home.if you have any experience with scissors. This haircut is very simple, but also great for a round face. The diagonal geometry allows you to emphasize the cheekbones and remove the accent from the cheeks. In addition, due to its simple smooth shape, a haircut is perfect for women with fine features: attention will be paid to you, and not to your hair. Performing a classic bean involves several steps.
- Hair is divided into seven parts: one on the crown, two near the temples, two on the back of the head and two near the neck.
- First, shear areas near the temples. The hair here should go diagonally: the longest strands will be on the face, and in the direction back, you need to gradually shorten them. In execution, accuracy and accuracy are important.
- The areas near the neck should be cut equally short - sometimes they even use a razor.
- On the back of the head, you need to make a gradual transition so that the ends of the hair form an even arc. To do this, you need to take the strands horizontally and level them one to the other.
- Finally, it's time to cut the hair on the top of the head. They should continue two diagonals from the sides and connect exactly in the middle. Here the strands will be much shorter than the temples.
"Debut" is a layered haircut, the hallmark of which is the special design of the strands near the face. They are cut out in such a way that they bend around the oval of the face in an arc: it is because of this that the “debut” so successfully conceals the cheeks. A short version of this haircut can be done by cutting hair in a certain way.
- Hair is divided into four conventional parts: front, back and sides. Begin a haircut from the sides.
- On each side, you need to take the horizontal parts of the hair: just three layers are enough for a short version. Each top layer should be slightly shorter than the bottom.To locks neatly looked near the face, easy thinning is done.
- Then the hair is cut on the back of the head in a similar way. It is important that the difference between the layers of hair is no more than a few centimeters - the minimum difference will allow you to create a neat shape.
- The top of the head is cut along the same length, pulling the hair at right angles in small strands, and then level them together. The length should be slightly less than the length on the upper tier from the sides.
- On the top and back, you can make a light thinning to remove excess volume - so the haircut will take a beautiful rounded shape.
With or without bangs?
Straight straight bangs do not go too well for girls with a round type of face: a horizontal line further extends the forehead. In addition, the middle and long bangs cover a significant part of the face, making it actually wider.
Nevertheless, these restrictions are not a reason to refuse to cut with a bang.
You can consider all kinds of long oblique bangs. If you comb the hair on one side, you will create the necessary asymmetry and horizontal orientation of the hairstyle: this way the face visually stretches.
Oblique bangs can be successfully fit into almost any haircut, implying a gradation of length: it does not fit except for the classic "square", but in principle it is not recommended for a round face. In other cases, the oblique bangs are not only an actual option, but also very convenient: it grows easily, and if desired, you can always just comb it back.
A very short curved bang is another good option.
Due to the short length of the bangs, it will seem that your forehead is larger: for this, the strands in the center should be no longer than 3-4 cm. Due to the fact that the bangs will be lengthened to the sides, you will slightly cover your face on the sides.
In combination with competently designed front strands in a haircut, this will give the necessary effect and will allow harmonizing the shape of the face.
If deliberate negligence is close to you, you should definitely try ragged or profusely milled bangs.
Her idea is that shorter and longer strands will be layered on top of each other. This will create an interesting effect, and, most importantly, the line will cease to be exactly horizontal, so that a round face will look better.
A similar version of the bangs is well combined with a slight asymmetry: for example, on the one hand, the bangs can be cut short, and on the other, become longer and gradually turn into a hairstyle.
Nuances and Secrets
The type of person is not the only item that is important to consider when choosing the right haircut. Age and body type will also be important. Explore the secrets of the perfect hairstyle, depending on the totality of all the criteria, determining the most successful option for yourself.
Women over 50
It is especially difficult for adult women to choose a haircut - creative unusual options look too youthful, and classic models add age. In addition, it is often on a round face that age-related changes become obvious quite early: after 40-45 years, you should think about a hairstyle that would hide your flaws and emphasize your advantages. Women older than 50 years old want the haircut to harmoniously fit into their image, look modern, but at the same time solid and elegant.
It is worth abandoning shaved temples and shortened bangs - Such options look bold and fresh, but are unlikely to suit middle-aged women. Consider the same shortened "bean" and haircuts based on it. “Bob” is suitable for all types of hair, it looks quite restrained and traditional, and due to the fact that the hair on the sides is cut diagonally, it perfectly visually tightens the contours of the face, allowing you to hide age-related changes.
In addition, the “bob” looks its best with a long oblique bang, which is well suited for a round face and gives the hairstyle a fresh informal look.
Curvy ladies
To full girls it is also not easy to pick a haircut. Guided by two basic rules. Firstly, a haircut should visually stretch the face, make it thinner and emphasize the cheekbones - all recommendations for a round face are especially important for you. Secondly, it is necessary that the haircut blends well with your figure, creating a harmonious proportional silhouette. This means that it is better to abandon smooth hairstyles and not choose options with the same length of all hair - you need extra volume.
Cascade and any other layered haircuts will suit you.
Due to the different lengths of hair, they will create a magnificent hairstyle that will organically fit into the full figure. To hide the cheeks and outline the contours of the face, you need to carefully study the front strands of hair. Full girls can use lightweight thinning, which creates the effect of deliberate negligence.
Smooth and strict styling will more likely emphasize your voluminous forms, and soft lush hairstyles, on the contrary, will not attract attention to the shortcomings of the figure.
Girls
Almost any haircut is suitable for girls: the main thing is to consider all the tips for a round face. Nevertheless, often young people abandon the traditional simple haircuts that seem boring. Very often, girls prefer shaved whiskey or a nape that can be successfully combined with pixie or bob haircuts. All sorts of interesting bangs are also relevant: although their choice for a round face is limited, oblique and very short bangs with a certain styling look bold and modern.
Very young teenage girls often want to seem older, and a short haircut can help with this. For these purposes, you do not need to choose graduated haircuts or options that imply diagonal geometry from the bottom up in the direction from the nape to the face. It is better, on the contrary, when the face has longer strands and shorter in the back: this allows you to further highlight the cheekbones and makes the face more adult. The classic "square" and a short ladder that neatly frames the face also look good.
Beautiful examples
Fashionable women's haircuts are very diverse. Before choosing it is important to delve into all the details, think through its front and rear views. The choice should be based not only on the type of your face, but also on the condition of the hair, figure and even age.
If you haven't decided what short haircut you're ready for, consider stylish examples for inspiration.
- A bob haircut for short hair with a slanting bang is a very convenient option. Depending on your image, it can look both boldly and traditionally. In addition, such a haircut almost does not require styling: both curly and straight hair lie in it well. Finally, the slanting fringe creates an asymmetry, which is important for a round face, and if it gets bored, the length makes it easy to comb it back or just stab it.
- A pixie haircut approaches a round face due to the fact that in the temple area the hair is cut as short as possible, and on top create a small volume. This geometry of the haircut allows you to visually stretch your face and give it clearer contours. In addition, the unusual haircut looks playful and allows you to look younger than your age.
- Haircut "debut" is suitable for those who love voluminous styling. And also this is an indispensable option for owners of curly hair. The extra volume that a graduated haircut gives makes the face look longer. The main role in this haircut is played by the strands that make up the face: they are cut in an arc that allows you to create a neat appearance, hide your cheeks and emphasize the chin.
