Round Face Shapes

If you have a round face shape, your face is as wide as it is long. For a round face shape, finding a style to minimize the roundness is the key. Celebrities like Kelley Clarkson and Kirsten Dunst all share the same face shape. Kelley Clarkson knows how to wear her hair to flatter her face shape. When choosing a shorter cut such as a bob, make sure the hair is longer than chin length, this will elongate your profile. A side part with a swept side bang hitting the cheek bone is a great look for a round face, this softens the wideness of the cheeks. Long hair is great for round faces, just make sure to avoid middle parts. Although this is not a very flattering look on most face shapes, round face shapes should definitely avoid this look, as this will only add to the roundness of the face. Longer layers and face framing is another great way to flatter this face shape, layers and texture will elongate the face. Make sure to give the hair some body, blowdrying it with a large round brush,with a little backcombing in the crown will add some balance to the face. So, if you are wanting a short style, opt for a bob with the front slightly longer than the back.
