Long Hairstyles for Round Faces
Women with round or oval faces on most occasions prefer to keep their hair long. But not all long hairstyles suit the round face shape. Your hairstyle should make your face look thinner and should accentuate your features. Here are a few hairstyles you can try on your trip to your hairdresser. Scroll away!
Basic long hair
Start by keeping it simple. This is one look that can never go wrong. It works fine with every hair type – straight, curls and waves and can make you look your best with any kind of outfit. It is one of the easiest hairstyles to maintain and can easily be styled in tons of other ways. It gives you a very natural and soft look. You will never face any problem in keeping your hair under control. This haircut works best with medium to thick hair. Girls with thin hair might have to find products to volumize your hair. It suits all occasions and can easily be changed to other styles. This is not a statement hairstyle, so if you don’t like to stand out in a crowd, this hairstyle will work perfectly for you.
Works best for - Round face, medium-thick hair, straight/curly/wavy hair
Pros – Low maintenance, easily manageable, soft, natural look, compatible with all hair types
Cons – Extremely basic, doesn’t work with thin hair
Eye grazing fringes
Got a round face with a big forehead? If yes, then, this is THE hairstyle for you. Women with big foreheads prefer to keep eye grazing fringes as this gives their face an illusion of a smaller forehead. Mix it up with plain straight hair on both sides of your face to tackle both the problems at once. The fringes make your forehead look smaller and the plain straight hair gives your face a sleeker look. This works best for people with either naturally or chemically straight hair. This is because your fringes need to be maintained every day. The fringes can also be irritating to some people, so this is a downside to this style. Women with extremely thick hair can go for this hairstyle as it will take up some volume from your hair by converting the long strands into fringes.
Works best for – Round face, large forehead, straight/wavy hair
Pros – Smaller forehead and thinner face, useful for women with extremely thick hair
Cons – Fringes: high maintenance, sometimes irritating
Middle parting
This is the simplest way to make your face look thinner. You don’t need any special haircut to pull off this look. Just take you comb and part your hair in the middle. Give your hair some volume and you are done. The hair falling on both sides of your face hides the roundness of your face and give a fine look. It takes no time to get this look and is completely no maintenance. It works for all hair types and hair thickness. So, you wouldn’t have to worry about anything. It stays put throughout the day.

Pin all the small hair nicely and you are good to go. This look pulls your hair away from your face and gives it a sleek look. Also, the high knot gives a little length to your face which works perfectly. The best thing about this hairstyle is that it is easy to do and maintain. It works for all hair types and works great in hot summers. It has become a very common look for the past 2-3 years.
