Bob haircut for a round face: design options and selection tips

A haircut called "bob" in recent years has gained immense popularity both among celebrities and other women. This hairstyle is often preferred by owners of a round face. To find out what features of a round face can be favorably emphasized by a bob haircut and what its varieties exist, check out the materials presented in this article.

In the process of selecting a bob haircut, you need to consider not only the shape of the face, but also its features. To correctly determine the hairstyle, a number of nuances should be taken into account.

• Degree of volume. In any case, such a haircut implies the presence of volume, however, it can be performed to a greater or lesser extent depending on the selected length. Remember that this property of haircuts can visually stretch a round face.
• Most women prefer to leave a parting on their heads. In the case of this option, it is recommended to make a side part. Typically, the bob haircut is asymmetric, and a non-standard parting line is able to further emphasize the unusual nature of the haircut. You should not wear a straight part, as hair divided into two equal parts can accentuate the cheeks.
• Many chubby ladies complement this haircut with bangs. This is a perfectly acceptable option, but you should carefully calculate the length. Too long bangs can violate the integrity of the haircut concept.
• Remember that a similar haircut can be chosen by girls with a round face, only if their curls are naturally straight. Naughty hair will be more difficult to style, it may look sloppy (which is unacceptable in a bob haircut), and curls can emphasize the volume of the face, which will look unattractive.

Based on the variety of modern trends, there are various types of haircuts “bob” for owners of a round face. Consider the most popular options.

The maximum length of hair in a similar hairstyle is usually slightly below the chin. Please note that the strands on the sides of such a haircut are the longest. In this case, the back of the head is cut short enough. There is also the opportunity to create additional volume at the crown and occipital part, and owners of a round face should not neglect this opportunity.

Younger people choose this option. It is even larger than the standard "bean", visually lengthens the shape of the face. The maximum length of the strands usually depends on the client’s desire, as well as the very concept of haircuts and the initial length of the hair. But it is worth remembering that in the case of a round face, the transition should be smooth.

An important feature of this type of haircut is the contrast between short hair on the back of the head and long on the sides. This effect perfectly emphasizes the neck. To make a round-shaped face look proportional, it is recommended, as in the first case, to give volume to the crown and occipital part.

Such a hairstyle and so will look very impressive due to the long side strands. A bang on a round face can only violate the concept of haircuts or overload the whole image as a whole.

However, extravagant chubby ladies can take the example of Cameron Diaz and cut their bangs in addition to bob. But remember that in this case it should not be straight, but go a little to one side. In this case, it is advisable not to make it too thick.

Such a hairstyle is quite difficult. As a rule, the longer the hair stays with the hair, the more difficult it is to discern the silhouette of the bob hairstyle. However, a skilled craftsman can create such a shape even on shoulder-length hair. With this option, you can embody a more romantic image.

Stylists offer the following options.

• Some people prefer to combine two classic haircuts - "Bean" and four of a kind. This option is suitable for ladies who find it difficult to decide on radical experiments. In this interpretation, the back strands are longer than the front ones, but the general silhouette of the haircut is made using the “bob” technique.

• Option "Page". This kind of bob hairstyle is quite short. She assumes the presence of a straight bang, as in Mireille Mathieu. But owners of chubby cheeks should not choose this option.

• Option called "A" suggests the presence of an oblique bang, the length of which is equal to the length of the middle strands. As a result of this, the hair frames the face in the forehead, forming a triangle or outline of the letter A. Such a hairstyle can emphasize the cheekbones.

Not all women have hair in perfect condition and are strong from nature. There are owners of heavy thick hair, and quite thin strands.

For thin hair, it is optimal to choose asymmetric forms of haircuts. In order to achieve the desired effect and visually adjust the structure of the hair, it is necessary to adhere to several recommendations.

• Haircut is best done in layers. This will help to avoid strands with even ends.
• Try to also eliminate contrasts when switching from a larger length to a shorter one.
• It is important to lengthen the strands near the cheekbones. At the same time, they should be shortened on the back of the head.
• It is permissible to supplement the haircut with bangs. But it is important that it has the so-called torn edges. This technique will not only create a more vivid image, but also greatly facilitate daily styling.

If you are the owner of a luxurious thick hair, then you need to consider a number of other nuances when creating a bob haircut.

• For a round face in this case, a very short variety of haircuts is suitable. It is especially suitable for ladies who, despite the round face shape, cheekbones stand out. A short “bean” can emphasize them very favorably, while such a hairstyle is very easy to care for.
• You can also use asymmetry, but in the case of thick hair, it is better to dwell on this version of the haircut, when one side will be only slightly longer.

The ultrashort version of the haircut can appear in two interpretations: smoothed hair is suitable for every day, and for a special case, you can slightly tangle the strands, while maintaining the overall shape of the hairstyle.

An important rule of styling with a hairdryer is the use of mousse: it is an additional tool for acquiring a hairstyle. You must first grease the comb with mousse, and then comb the hair so that the product is applied along their entire length.

Chubby ladies can effectively emphasize the chosen haircut with color. Enough volume, but at the same time the “bean” in combination with highlighted strands will look airy.

Dark strands are able to give the hairstyle a sharper outline. You can selectively accentuate your hairstyle if this option corresponds to the general concept of the image.

To diversify the image, you can experiment with parting. By periodically changing its direction, you can update your image and create different interpretations of the hairstyle.

For solemn styling use a wave. At the same time, not all hair is curled, but only a few curls. But girls with a round face should not make a large number of strands wavy, otherwise there is a risk of emphasizing the cheeks.

Various hairpins or invisibles can serve as additional decorations both for the holidays and for every day. Some even combine beautiful headbands with such a haircut.

Remember that the design of the haircut should not differ from the general image of its owner. Carefully choose styling and accessories.

If you still decide to create a bob haircut on naughty hair, use a straightening curler and tools with enhanced fixation when styling.

Thus, the "bob" is a universal haircut that looks good on ladies with a round face. It is important that short, medium or long hair can go as the basis for creating the form, so everyone can choose such a hairstyle.
