Steps to follow:

1

Cut your fringe sideways. Not all fringes are suitable for round faces, especially straight fringes. However, if you do not want to radically cut your hair we suggest letting the fringe on one or two sides of the face. In this way you will make much of your forehead stand out front and you will stylize your face.

To give a new look to your hair and refine the face with long hair go for a layered or feathered hair cut. And yes, if you want to get the opposite effect, you must start the first layer from the cheekbone down. If you do it from above, it will make your hair look like it has more volume at the top, which will round your face even more.

A layered cut will be great if you have straight hair; it will not only refine your face, but also stylise your whole figure. However, try to get the cut at the shoulder or below as, it being smooth, it will you soften the face.

Height and bone structure can also be at odds, if you are short and also have a round face we recommend you get a bob as very long hair will enhance your round face and make you look smaller. But if you are tall long hair will harmonize and style your plump face. Just remember to choose a bob that is cut right under your chin.

Remember that very short hairs emphasized even more the roundness of a face. If you are thinking of cutting it anyway avoid it having a lot of volume. Straighten your hair and then give it soft and subtle waves at the ends. With this trick you will look more refined.

On the other hand, if you already have short hair, opt for giving it some highlights or reflections. With this light you can smooth your cheeks. Remember that the darker you hair, the stronger and more marked your facial features will be. Keep this in mind if you have a round face.

In regard to hairstyles go for volume on top. A quiff, for example, will lengthen the face. Also, pony tails or buns also give this effect of stylising the face. On the other hand, if you have a round face go for soft waves or straight points. This will suit your face shape.

Finally, we suggest you avoid drawing attention to the chin and cheeks as these are the parts of the face that mark excess weight and facial roundness. For this invest in layers and soft lines above the shoulder that help to lengthen the face.
