What are the best haircuts for round faces? There is no one straight answer to this question. While a celebrity’s latest chop may inspire you to get the same, it may not be the most flattering hairstyle for you and your individual face. Other than your hair type and texture, the right haircut also complements the shape of your face, accentuates your best features and balances out your facial proportions (in the case of round faces, it adds length and not width).
“When you have a round face, a softer jawline and equal facial dimensions, it means that your face is as long as it is wide and that the widest point of your face is in the middle,” explains celebrity hairstylist, Florian Hurel. “You want to go with haircuts that help elongate the face rather than make it appear wider.”

“Lots of layers in a haircut combined with a textured fringe adds movement and dimension,” recommends celebrity hairstylist Savio John Pereira. “This hairstyle also helps frame the face and draw attention upwards.”
