Thank the heavens above for giving you a perfectly symmetrical, rounded face. Attention: This is not another article you've landed on that will shame your facial features and/or offer styles to distract the world from your gorgeous God-given face. That's trash, and there's too much of that on the Internet already when you Google "hairstyles for round faces."

Hopefully, this will give you some refreshing hair inspo instead with styles meant to enhance your facial features.

Whether you're looking to create height or volume with a short style or simply looking for a fresh new summer cut, click through to find your future haircut.


Blunt Bob


Chrissy Teigen is here to show you that simple haircuts are 👏 not 👏 basic. The crispness of the ends are counterbalanced by bends through the length, all of which work to highlight her face's elegant shape.




Airy Pixie


What I love about this relatively straightforward pixie are the wispy tufts along Rowan Blanchards neckline—ask anyone who's ever had short hair. A little hair along the neck is particularly comforting. There's also something sweet about the choppy, swept-aside bangs.




Voluminous Bob


What could be overwhelming on longer faces is just right for Gabrielle Union. Here, the heft of a lofty geometric bob is balanced and flattering.




Rounded Lob


Selena Gomez's one-length bob swings just above her shoulders, with the blunt ends curled upwards. The result is both soft and sweet, and immensely flattering against the soft curves of her face.




Old Hollywood Pixie


Toni Braxton is simply the pixie cut goddess. Let your features take center stage with a finger-waved pixie cut. Keep up the mold of your waves by setting the style with holding mousse.




Platinum Blonde Pixie


Charlize Thereon stuns in a bleach blonde pixie at the 92nd Annual Academy Awards. This is a simple yet sleek style that'll prove to be uncomplicated at all times.




Textured Bob


Ryan Destiny goes for a structured yet wispy cut with this textured bob. Keep the feel of your hair effortless by tucking the sides and letting a a piece or two fall free towards the front.




Blunt Bob


Actress Lauren London is usually seen with extra-long voluminous curls or waves. However, this super chic switch-up reveals a blunt bob falling right below the chin. This timeless style will accentuate all of your features.




Blonde Angled Bob


Michelle Williams is no stranger to experimenting with a fresh cut. This short angled bob is the perfect style for showing off your gorgeous jawline. Go full glam by embellishing one side with a hair accessory.




Piecey Angled Bob


Nothing complements a round face like a middle part with textured waves. Try Demi Lovato's dark brunette style for an easy summer style.




Chin-Length Bob


Viola Davis gives her gorgeous smile all the shine with with this chin-length bob and side-swept bangs. Add soft bends to dress up this style.




Side-Swept Wavy Bob


Sarah Hyland's textured waves and sun-kissed hair color may make you want to go to the beach. This effortless look is wake-up-and-go hair you won't have to think too hard about.




Brunette Curly Bob


Miranda Kerr makes loopy curls look so good. Jazz up your bob with flirty bends that fall right below your chin to accentuate your jawline.




Tapered Cut


You can see those dreamy doll eyes of actress Kiersey Clemons even clearer because of this badass frohawk. Natural hair knows no bounds, as proven by her tapered sides and voluminous coils.




Brunette Pixie


Let's have a moment of silence for Ginnifer Goodwin's snatched jawline emphasized by her slicked pixie cut. The side sweep keeps her overall look feminine and romantic, which is a nice juxtaposition for such a bold cut.




Voluminous Curled Bob


The more curls the merrier, as stunningly showcased by Taraji P. Henson. Glamorous curls breathe so much life into bob cuts, and look good on every damn face shape to be honest.




Old Hollywood Curls


Old Hollywood curls complement round faces because they always fall in the perfect place. Kate Upton is giving major Marilyn Monroe vibes.




Wispy Curled Bob


Let wherever you part your hair work for you and your features. Chanel Iman's sort-of side-part paired with wispy curls is ideal for special occasions. Plus, there's so much longevity you'll get out of wearing this style once your curls fall a bit.




Blonde Lob With Wispy Side Swept Bangs


Emma Stone knows how to wear a side-swept lob so well. The fact that her bangs fall heavier on one side takes attention away from symmetrical features of found faces, and draws more attention to elongate her chin.




Curly Blunt Bob


Curly girls, don't be reluctant to add shape to your ringlets with a blunt cut bob and bangs. Curly side bangs draw attention to Yara Shahidi's jawline, which in turn elongates the shape of her face.




Soft Waves With Bangs


How could I not acknowledge this unforgettable hair moment from Mila Kunis at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards? These bangs broke the Internet for good reason. Shaggy, baby bangs and a rounded bob is the recipe for success for round-faced queens.




Pastel Waves


It goes without saying that a popping pink hair color, like Maisie Williams' cotton candy hue, will say to everyone (without you even saying anything) "I'm cooler than cool, you didn't know?"




Piecey Pixie


Gabrielle Union's choppy pixie was short-lived, but I'm begging for her to bring it back. This style holds so much shape and structure, it accentuates everything from her bone structure to her smile.




Spiked Ponytail With Bangs


I'll never get over Charlize Theron's switch to the dark side by way of this new(ish) inky, brunette shade. It could be this masterful contouring, but something about her micro bangs and spikey ponytail makes her naturally round face look so damn sculpted.



Angled Fro


Danai Gurira, a true queen, looks spectacular in every natural style she dons—but this three-dimensional cut has to be my favorite. Pro tip: play up your hair's angles, which will in turn play-up your features' angles.
