The Best Short Hair Ideas to Try If You Have a Round Face

Really, there are no rules when it comes to hair. ("You do you" reigns supreme, as far as hair advice goes). There are, however, certain cuts and styles that can elevate specific face shapes. So if you're looking for something that suits your round face well, you've come to the right place.

Before diving into what hairstyles work well, it's important to first determine whether you have a round face, which typically means that you have softer edges on the contours of your face. "Take a look at your cheeks; if they're the widest part of your face and you have a softer, more curved jawline, you have a round face," says Wella Professionals brand ambassador and stylist Dereq Clark.

Next, consider your hair texture. Celebrity stylist Mara Roszak likes to look at hair type over face shape when trying to figure out how to style and cut your hair. “It’s super individual and has a lot to do with your other features," says Roszak. "Haircuts should be looked at holistically; there are no specific rules that work for everyone."
