Short Hairstyles For Round Shaped Faces |
 |
The most important element of good short hairstyles for round faces is the cut.
The right length is crucial in order to avoid making round faces look rounder. The best short hairstyles for women with round faces are either well above chin-length, or below the chin but several inches above the shoulders. At all costs, avoid hair that is exactly chin length, however; this length should be worn only by women with long faces.
For very short hair, the pixie cut is a great option because it has short wispy layers that visually break up the volume of the face. For slightly longer hair, shag cuts with wispy ends between the chin and shoulders will achieve the same thing. If your hair is naturally wavy, the wisps at the ends of your hair in this slightly longer style may curl up, adding some much needed volume in the right places, but if it is stick-straight you can achieve the same effect by winding the ends around bobby pins and leaving them in for an hour or so.
Hair color
can also be used in a similar way to balance round faces. A single-process flat color, no matter what that color is, will make your face look rounder, but chunky highlights, either at the crown to add height or going from the crown to the ends to add length, will elongate it. Accenting the right spots with color is a great way to make short hairstyles even more flattering for round faces
