With its versatility, low maintenance, and ability to flatter round faces, the pixie cut has become a timeless choice for plus-size women. From classic short styles to edgy layers and soft textures, there’s a pixie cut to suit every face shape and personality.
Key Features of a Round Face Pixie Cut
Round faces are typically characterized by:
- Soft, curved lines
- Equal width and height
- Full cheeks
- A wide forehead
A flattering pixie cut for a round face can help soften these features and create a more balanced, oval-shaped look.
