Understanding the Round Face Structure
A round face is characterized by:
- Equal width and length
- Soft, curved edges
- Full cheeks
- Rounded chin
Hairstyle Considerations for Round Faces
To flatter a round face, choose hairstyles that:
- Add volume to the crown: Create height and balance the facial width.
- Frame the face: Conceal the fullness of the cheeks and draw attention to the eyes.
- Avoid excessive width: Stay away from styles that widen the face, such as low buns or wide-brimmed hats.
