Which hairstyle is best for a round facial type?

Create height or volume on top and no volume at the sides
Avoid layers
Keep hair short and close to the head
Wear bangs that cover the forehead

The correct answer is: Create height or volume on top and no volume at the sides

For individuals with a round facial type, the most flattering hairstyle typically involves creating height or volume on top while minimizing volume at the sides. This approach helps to elongate the appearance of the face, balancing out the roundness by drawing the eye upwards. Adding height at the crown can make a round face look more oval, providing a more structured silhouette. This style contrasts with the natural proportions of a round face, which often appears fuller and wider. Keeping the sides sleek and close to the head further enhances this effect, preventing additional width that could accentuate the roundness of the face. Other options, such as avoiding layers or maintaining hair short and close to the head, do not effectively utilize the styling techniques that can enhance a round face. Similarly, bangs that cover the forehead tend to add width rather than elongate the face, which is why they may not be the best choice for someone with a round facial shape.
