If you have a round face shape and struggle to find a hairstyle that will look slimming and age-appropriate, you’re in the right place. I summoned up 10 incredibly flattering hairstyles for women over 50 with round faces that I’m sure will be your next hair inspo.
1. Beachy Waves
Believe it or not, long beachy waves are the best option for a rounded face shape. Other than looking fabulous, these loose waves will make your face seem more narrow.
2. Short Pixie Cut
Add height to your round face with the help of a pixie haircut. The longer top is super versatile when it comes to styling. Bonus points if you create fun spikes!
3. Slicked-Back Ponytail
Some will say that a slicked-back ponytail is universally flattering. That certainly is true when it comes to round face shapes.
The slicked style will slim your cheeks while the volume in the back will celebrate your locks.
4. Middle Part Soft Waves
Part your hair in the middle and use this strategic move to elongate your face and take away the focus to the very ends of your hair. Create soft waves to achieve an elegant, chic look.
5. Bowl Cut Bob
If you crave something bold and unusual, I suggest you try this adventurous bowl-cut bob. I guarantee you’ll have the most unique hairstyle that will cause a serious envy.
6. Relaxed Updo
Formal event coming up? Relax, I’ve got you covered. Try this sophisticated, yet simple curly hairdo that takes the focus from your round face to the height of your hair.
7. Side-Swept Lob
Balance the width of your round face with the help of side-swept bangs. It’s a lot easier to balance if you have only one of your cheeks showing up.
Besides, this hairstyle is super adorable, right?
8. Chic Fringe
If you have a wide forehead complementing a round face shape, then go for a wild fringe hairstyle. You can choose from bouncy bangs to choppy layered fringe. Either way, it’ll look on-trend.
9. Chin-Length Bob
Why hide behind long hair when you can celebrate your round face with this edgy bob haircut? Sometimes the key is to enhance your lovely features, not shy away from it.
10. Shoulder-Length Waves
For all the ladies above 50 who treasure their medium-length hair, a simple trick of sweeping your hair to one side can make a high impact. You can additionally opt for soft waves to add a romantic vibe.
