The best hairstyles for round faces with thick hair tend to be those that help to make the face look slimmer, and prevent the hair from becoming puffy or frizzy. It can be difficult to choose the best hairstyles for people with this particular combination of featrues, but it is helpful to search for images online or in magazines, and then discuss your options with a stylist to see what works best for you. He or she will be able to provide specific advice regarding your hair type and the types of cuts that will flatter your features. As a general rule, layered cuts tend to look best with this face shape and hair type.
In general, when trying to choose hairstyles for round faces with thick hair, there are some things to avoid. These mostly include short, blunt cuts, such as a chin-length bob, or blunt cut bangs straight across the forehead. This is because styles like this tend to accentuate the roundness of the face rather than minimizing it, and can make your face look even rounder. Blunt bangs have a similar effect. In addition, thick hair often does not work particularly well when it is cut in short styles like this, because it tends to have a lot of volume.
If you really want short hair, it might be necessary to go even shorter, such as a closely cropped pixie cut. On some people with defined features, this can be a really cute look. Men looking for hairstyles for round faces with thick hair might find that keeping the hair slightly longer, and of slightly varied lengths, rather than cutting it closely cropped right to the skull, helps to balance the hair and the face a little bit. It might take some trial and error to find a hairstyle that works for you, especially depending on your hair’s texture.
Longer hair is often a better choice when individuals have round faces and especially thick hair. Cuts with long layers help to draw the face down, and make it look a bit longer and narrower, which is very flattering. Side swept bangs accomplish the same thing, and can really help to make a round face look thinner. People with curly hair generally find the same thing, that keeping the hair longer and layered, rather than short and puffy around the face, is a much more flattering look. Again, discussing options with a stylist, or uploading a picture online and trying different haircuts that way, can help to narrow down the choices.
