The appropriate haircut may accentuate round faces and balance proportions for women with thick hair. Select styles that add length and angles to extend a round face.
Heavy hair looks great with long layers that provide movement and form. Layered hair gives a round face the appearance of length.
Face-framing layers provide dimension and shape to your face. The layers around the face blend with the rest of your hair.
High ponytails are stylish and extend the face. Pulling your hair back creates a sleek, upward-facing look. Wrap a tiny portion of hair around the ponytail base to hide the hair tie for volume and interest.
Asymmetrical side-swept bangs can make your face appear longer. Bangs mix smoothly with thick hair, making this style suitable for thick hair. Style them slightly curved to frame and soften your round face.
Textured waves give thick hair movement and dimension. Create tousled waves with a curling iron or styling wand for volume. This style lengthens the face and gives a relaxed, carefree look with a side or center part.
A versatile long bob, or “lob,” drapes between the chin and collarbone. It adds length without overwhelming a round face. Select a lob with delicate layers for texture and movement.
The half-up, half-down hairstyle highlights thick hair and adds vertical length. Leave the bottom part of your hair loose and tie the top half in a ponytail or bun.
Thick hair with a round face look great in sleek, straight hairstyles. Use a flat iron for a polished finish. To lengthen your hair, part it in the middle or slightly to the side.
