Curly Updo
It’s giving “hot summer looks”. Selena Gomez is such a perfect example of a round-faced beauty. By creating tight curls from the roots down with a curling iron, and then pinning them back, you can style your hair exactly like this.
Top Knots with Bangs
These top-knotted face bangs of Chrissy Teigen are surprisingly simple to achieve; all you need to do is grab a section of hair from the back of your head, flip it forward, and then gather it all together into a bun.
Pixie Fringe
Pixie cuts can flatter round faces, as evidenced by Jennifer Hudson. A super-cute way to adhere to the round-face rules is with this Piercy pixie fringe. If you look, you’ll see that the back has been purposefully given more height to lengthen the face.
Razored Ends Lobs

To achieve these sharp ends, request that your stylist use a straight-edge razor blade, which will produce wispier strands. Use heat protect sprays to give your hair a little extra boost so it stays smooth and damage-free.
Mussed-up
This hairstyle is quite sophisticated and gives the impression of a longer face by adding some volume to the crown region. It is advised to curl the front section of the hair with a one-and-a-half-inch curling iron before backcombing the remaining hair to achieve Kate Upton’s sexy mussed-up look. Next, twist the hair at the back of the head up, and then bobby pin it in place. Pull a few hairs out around the hairline to finish.
