What short haircuts suit a round face?

Short, layered hairdos that create height and minimize width are the most flattering haircuts for round faces. Some examples are the pixie cut and the layered bob.

Stylists and beauty experts agree that the key to styling hair for people with round faces is to create volume. The use of texture and layers achieves this. A short bob with layers at the crown has the effect of elongating the silhouette, giving the appearance of a narrower face.

Another tip is to keep a lock of hair in front of one or both ears. Keeping this section slightly long (but no longer than the overall hair length) minimizes the width of a round face.
