50 Super Cute Looks with Short Hairstyles for Round Faces

Not every short hairstyle is good for a round face, but some of those below seem so cute that you simply can’t deny yourself a pleasure to try a sassy short haircut for a change. Pixie is the most popular short cut for a round face, however, shorter versions of bobs aren’t contra-indicated either if styled properly.

If your face is round, your short hair should cover your ears. Normally short hairstyles are created easily with a mousse and a blow dryer. Any round face appears thinner if bangs are styled asymmetrically to one side. You can rake your fingers through the hair to add vertical lines and make it edgier.

As you can see, most short hairstyles for round face have elongating A-line outlines. Practically all bobs, pixies and graded cuts with feathery finish feature side swept bangs which cover fullness of the round face. Take this idea as a basic one when styling your short hair for a super flattering look.

It’s believed that hairstyles with rounded shapes aren’t good for round faces. In reality if you add texture to your short bob, defining edges and occasional tresses, you will come up with a truly fantastic look, extremely chic and complementary for your face shape.

Short retro hairstyles also look charming, let’s say finger waves combed back on the basis of a short bob. Make a side parting and comb wavy bangs to one side like in the photos below for a stunning dramatic look, appropriate for most big events or theme parties.
