Amazing Haircuts For Round Faces

Round face shapes are complemented by myriad hairstyles, but if your goal is to create more definition and elongate the face, there are certain looks that will do just that. We turned to stylist Scott Ade and hair industry pros Adam Federico and Gretchen Friese for some rules about finding a flattering hairstyle for a round face and we’ve selected some of our favorite cuts and styles from rounder-faced A-listers.

A center part can sometimes further round out a face but as Kelly Clarkson demonstrates, the addition of long, face-framing layers helps lean things out. We love how Kelly's shorter layers are feathered out around her face.

Shoulder-length hairstyles are universally flattering no matter your face shape. Mindy Kaling's 'do has enough length to provide balance to her features and the face-framing waves slim her cheekbones ever so slightly. Apply a thickening mousse before blow-drying with a large round brush, instructs Friese. Then follow with a large barrel curling iron if more texture is desired, she adds.

Mila Kunis's long, straight hair is flattering because there's lift at the root and a sharp center part to add some edge. To complete the look, mist lightly withtexture sprayto give the hair added texture, volume, and attitude, says Federico.
