If you have a round face with cute full cheeks, broad forehead and rounded jawline, you’re likely looking for hairstyles that can give you some balance and elongation.
Long hair is the obvious choice, but short styles can be just as flattering: angled bobs, sleek straight lobs or tousled bobs with volume at the crown can add length and structure. If you’re into bangs, long, choppy or angled side-swept styles can all make your face appear sharper.
Find your new look among these 20 trendy bob haircuts for round faces.
1. Long Layered Bob With Curtain Bangs
Curtain bangs and bouncy layers are soft, but they still provide structure that flatters a round face shape. The ideal length of the bangs is at cheek level to break up the space and frame your face. Plus, it’s totally on-trend!
2. Blunt Angled Bob
The blunt and sharp angled bob contrasts the softness of a round face, but don’t go too short with this look because it will have the opposite effect.
3. Lob With Long Bangs
Both long bangs and a long bob visually elongate the face, creating balance. This is a great look if you want something as versatile as long hair but more manageable.
4. Choppy Bob
The choppy bob is trendy, wearable and easy to style. When the layers at the crown are slightly shorter, they create more volume on top for the most flattering look.
5. Chin-Length Bob With Long Bangs
A short blunt bob can look poofy and add width, so it’s not the most flattering hairstyle for those with round faces. Still want it? Ask for texturizing layers that take the bulk off without changing the shape and long wispy bangs to frame the face.
6. Angled Bob
A round face can pull off the angled bob like no other, and you’ll look elegant and sophisticated with this style. Graduation in the back creates volume at the crown and the long strands near the face add sharpness and elongation.
7. Textured Lob
The textured lob looks amazing on all face shapes, but you can make it look even more amazing on your round cheeks if you wear it longer and slightly angled.
8. Voluminous Side-Parted Bob
Want your short bob to look flirty and laid back? Instead of parting your hair, run your fingers through it often and wear it tousled, with lots of volume on top.
9. Wavy Asymmetrical Bob
This subtly asymmetrical lob looks casual in loose waves, with lots of texturizing spray, but if you style it sleek and straight it becomes elegant and polished.
10. Blunt Bob With Face-Framing
Adding choppy long bangs to your hairstyle might not seem like a big change, but they make any haircut look twice as flattering.
11. Shoulder-Length Textured Bob
This beautiful textured bob with wispy curtain bangs is perfect for a round face shape. With curtain bangs, you can go fuller or wispier, since they look good either way. If you have thin hair, a few strands around the face will give it a fuller look.
12. Jaw-Length Bob With Bangs
If you have a round face, rounded haircuts aren’t the most flattering, but if you love that style, here’s how you can still make it work: while the ends are beveled, this bob extends below the chin to help elongate the face. The bangs are shorter in the center and textured, with longer sides framing the face.
13. Long Asymmetrical Bob
This bob is so long that it nearly tips over into long hair category, but its shape gives it the fresh, crisp bob vibe—and it looks beautiful on a round face.
14. Sleek Bob
A short blunt bob will look amazing on your round face if you wear it completely sleek to avoid any bulk at the sides.
15. A-Line Bob
This short A-line bob is giving sci-fi vibes, looking super fresh and super flattering! If you want something edgy, this style looks especially cool in vivid colors.
16. Wavy Lob
A bob with soft, natural waves looks best on sharp face shapes, but it can look gorgeous on round faces if you wear it longer and add some strategic face framing near the cheekbones.
17. Layered Bob With Curtain Bangs
This airy layered bob has lots of movement. Encourage it by applying products that make the hair bouncy and touchable, and skip any strong hold products.
18. Blunt Angled Bob
A long angled bob is sharp and elongating, and you can’t go wrong with this style. To make it a little softer, wear it with delicate waves and parted in the middle.
19. Long Layered Bob
Layers allow the hair to move and keep it from falling flat, creating volume on top—which is what you want if you have a round face.
20. Angled Bob With Undercut
Want something edgy? This angled bob with one side shaved will make you feel like a rockstar!
