Do you have a round face? If you do, you’re in good company – some of the best. Many of the most beautiful women throughout history have been blessed with prominent cheeks and wide brows. The best way to make the most of your unique face shape is through your hairstyle. Here’s how:
1. Long Layers – Long layers are universally flattering. Contrary to popular belief, long layers actually look longer than a blunt cut of the same length. The layers elongate the face and give the illusion of length. Be sure to ask your stylist to cut the shortest layer just below your chin.
2. Gentle Waves – Resist the flatiron! Waves are your friend! Most women are born with a slight wave to their hair. Rather than straightening naturally wavy hair, embrace it. Use a texturiser to give it a just-woke-up feel or a lifter to revitalise the roots. Added volume in the hair can make a wide, round face look more proportionate.
3. The Long Bob – The bob has been popular among women since it was introduced to the public in 1915 and there’s a reason why. There is a good bob for everyone. If you don’t have the patience or desire to grow your hair long, try the long bob. Ask your hairstylist to give you a gently layered, angled cut just above your shoulders. This sexy style is long enough to achieve the same effect as long layers, but has a little more whimsy.
4. Short Cuts – A lot of people will tell you that women with round faces should never have short hair. That just isn’t true. The key to the short hairstyle on the round-faced woman is texture. Ask your stylist to use a razor instead of shears to give your cut more movement. Be sure to apply voluminising and texturising products to damp hair before blow drying. Don’t be afraid of looking messy – when it comes to short hair messier is sexier.
The bottom line is: embrace your round face. There is nothing sexier than a woman with confidence.
