Hairstyle Tip: A center part is great option for round face shapes because it balances out the face and draws the eye to the center of your hair, not the roundness of your cheeks.

Hairstyle Tip: Changing your part can make a big difference in your face shape. Try a side part that sweeps across the face (or side-swept bangs), adding more angles to your overall face shape.

Hairstyle Tip: A great haircut for a round face is one that is a little longer in the front and shorter in the back and hits between the chin and shoulder. This creates an illusion in the front that appears to lengthen the face.

Hairstyle Tip: Waves created around the face and then loosely pulled back into a low, side bun look excellent on a round face shape. The loose waves in front create a soft eye line that leads to the full, low bun, causing the face to appear more linear.
