40 Stunning Medium Hairstyles for Round Faces

The most wide-spread medium-length haircuts for round faces are bobs with longer front tresses and layered cuts. These provide the richest styling options, beneficial for round faces and consonant to the current hair trends. The gallery below will provide you with multiple choices of awesome medium length hairstyles for round faces.

Medium Length Hairstyles for a Round Face

Actually, the best length for round faces is up to the shoulders or a little bit longer. This length elongates a round face. Texturized edges are a plus. The forehead may be either covered with asymmetric bangs or open. Individual features should be, certainly, taken into account.

Flat-ironed bobs look fantastic on women and girls with round faces. Side parting and long side swept bangs cover one side of the face, and it seems considerably thinner. Straightened shag medium hairstyles for round faces with loads of layers draw dozens of vertical lines around your face, adding it the desirable proportional length.

Be careful with curls on medium lengths. Sometimes they tend to be overly voluminous which broadens your round face unfavorably. If you love curls, make sure they are not too fluffy, while your hair is teased at the roots. Volume on the crown will correct the proportions.

If you want to try messy hairstyles, ask your stylist not to cut layers too short to avoid added volume on the sides. Style your hair with gel or strengthen it, slightly raising at the roots. Make sure that locks don’t stick out at the sides. Long earrings are an extra trick.

And now let’s see the examples.

#1: Medium Pastel Pink Bob

This pink hair color is the standout feature, but the cut itself is also very pretty. The angled bob is styled with a voluminous side sweep to feature the graduation of layers and their razored, jagged ends. Straight layered hair has never looked more beautiful.

#2: Wavy Hairstyle for Round Face

Medium haircuts for round faces should feature vertical and diagonal lines which are easily obtained with longer lengths. This hairdo is on the longer side of mid length styles, so it is a great choice for those who are nervous about losing too much length. It is also excellent for making your face appear rather elongated than round.

#3: Medium Cut with Feathered Face-Framing Layers

The layered and brushed-forward face-framing pieces slim the round face and elongate the neck. Pair your cut with long curtain bangs and you’ll complement yourself even more. This shaped cut adds the desired sharpness to a fuller face.

#6: Straight Blonde Bob

You might think that a bit of teasing would only make your round face appear wider – not with this classy bob. It creates an elongated silhouette thanks to the root lift, fade of color that runs down, and straight face-framing strands that hit below the chin.
