My friend has a round face. And recently, she was asking me for haircut suggestions – so this post is for her.
Finding the perfect haircut for a round face shape can feel like a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be!
Round faces are soft, balanced, and naturally youthful, and the right haircut can accentuate these features beautifully while adding dimension and definition.
Basically, you want to add length to your face – so you can do that by adding volume on the top or adding length by adding a lot of layers and framing your face.
