5 Must-Try Hairstyles For Round Faces

If you have a round face, you know the goal of most hairstyles is to create balance, elongate your features, and add definition. The good news? You don’t need a drastic haircut to flatter your face shape—smart styling can work wonders. Namika Kant, Technical expert at Envi Salons and Rayed Merchant, Co-Founder of Ikonic Professional shared some of the effortlessly chic hairstyles that complement round faces beautifully.

5 Must-Try Hairstyles For Round Faces

Here are some of the best hairstyles for round face:

High Voluminous Ponytail

Namika recommends trying a high ponytail which isn’t just youthful—it’s face-slimming. By adding volume at the crown, it draws the eye upward and creates the illusion of a longer face. Keep it sleek at the base, tease the top a bit, and let a few wispy strands fall around the face for softness.

Half-Up Top Knot

According to Namika, trendy and easy, the half-up top knot adds height to your silhouette while showcasing your natural texture. Leaving the rest of your hair down helps frame the face, creating a perfect balance between volume and structure.

Loose Side Braid

Romantic and face-flattering, a loose side braid pulls attention diagonally, which visually breaks the roundness. Keep it messy and textured to add dimension and make the look more effortless.

Long Layered Waves

Long layered waves elongate the face while adding movement and volume below the chin, which helps draw the eyes downward and create a more oval silhouette. Soft waves styled with a flat iron or a wide-barrel curler can frame the face beautifully, especially when paired with a subtle side part.

Textured lob (Long Bob)

The textured lob, ideally ending just below the jawline, is another winning option. Adding gentle waves or tousled curls adds depth and reduces the roundness of the face. For those who love sleek finishes, a professional straightener with bevelled edges can help achieve both polished straight looks and easy waves.
