Short Hairstyles That Make Round Faces Instantly Slimmer: Here’s the Secret!

Many people ask, “Salwa, my face is round, what kind of short haircut suits me?” Well, this is the answer! The key is to choose a cut that can create the illusion of sharper and longer facial lines. You don’t need to be afraid of looking ‘chubby’, because with the right tricks, short hair can actually make you look more proportional. Let’s check them out one by one!

1. Lisa Bob: The Classic That Never Goes Out of Style!

   Who doesn’t know Lisa BLACKPINK? This fashion icon always has an effortless yet stunning style. One of her most iconic looks is the Lisa Bob. It’s like a classic A-line Bob, but with a modern touch. The cut is usually shorter in the back and slightly longer in the front, creating a ‘line’ that frames the face.

   Why is it suitable for round faces? Because this slightly asymmetrical cut can give the illusion of a longer and slimmer face. No need to worry about it looking flat or too tight, because this style is very flexible. Whether you blow it out for volume or leave it straight, it looks equally gorgeous! It’s perfect for those who want a fresh yet elegant look.

2. Wavy Lob: For Those Who Love a Casual Yet Chic Style

   Now, if you’re the type who loves an effortless and low-maintenance style, the Wavy Lob is the champion! Lob is short for Long Bob, so the cut is at the shoulders or slightly below. What makes it special are the ends, which are styled with natural waves. It’s like your hair just woke up but looks chic!

   For round faces, the Wavy Lob is great because the waves can ‘break’ the roundness of the face. The waves on the sides give an added ‘dimension’, so it doesn’t just look flat. Plus, if you already have naturally curly or wavy hair, maintenance is even easier. Just a little texturizing spray, and you’re ready to go!

3. Textured Pixie Cut: Bold But Makes You Instantly Look Younger!

   This is the boldest hairstyle, but the results are the most wow! A Textured Pixie Cut is super short, usually on the back and sides. But what makes it special is the top part, which is textured and slightly longer, sometimes with a wispy fringe. It gives a boyish impression but still has a feminine touch.

   For round faces, a Pixie Cut can be a game-changer! The short, voluminous cut on top can give the illusion of a longer face. The texture also makes the hair look more ‘alive’ and less stiff. If you want to look different, bold, and younger, try this style. It’s guaranteed to be a stunning transformation!

4. Shoulder Length Bob with Layers: The Perfect Balance!

   Okay, for those of you who are still a bit hesitant to go super short, the Shoulder Length Bob with layers can be a safe yet equally chic option. The cut falls just below the shoulders, so there’s still ‘length’ to play with. Now, the key is the layers, Beauty Besties!

   Layers in the hair create ‘movement’ and dimension. For round faces, layers that fall around the jawline or cheeks can help ‘sculpt’ the face to look slimmer. It won’t look too ‘boxy’ or overly round. This style is also very easy to style, whether you want it naturally straight, slightly wavy, or half-up, it always looks good. Many Korean celebrities wear this style, proving its effectiveness!

5. Sleek Bob: Elegant and Gives a Sharp Impression

   Don’t get me wrong, a Sleek Bob doesn’t always have to look ‘fierce’. In fact, a neat, straight, and shiny cut can give a very chic and elegant impression. The cut is usually blunt, falling around the jawline or slightly below it.

   For round faces, a Sleek Bob can be a sophisticated choice. The straight, sharp cut can give the illusion of sharper and longer facial lines. Avoid cuts that are too short like a straight chin-length without layers, as they can make the face look wider. But with the right length Sleek Bob, you’re guaranteed to look instantly powerful and stylish.

Pro Tip from Salwa: If you have a round face, avoid bangs that are too thick and blunt. Side-swept bangs that are a bit messy or longer bangs that reach the eyebrows are better, as they can add dimension and won’t make your face look wider.

Additional Tips for Maximizing Your Short Hair!

Found the perfect style? Great! But to keep your short hair looking flawless and not easily ‘temperamental’, there are a few things you need to pay attention to:

• Choose the Right Styling Products: Not all products are suitable for all hair types. If your hair tends to get flat, look for lightweight ones. If you want volume, use mousse or texturizing spray.
• Regular Care is Important: Short hair can sometimes be more prone to dryness at the ends. Don’t forget to use conditioner to keep your hair soft and prevent breakage.
• Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment: If you get bored, try changing the style a little. Add hair accessories, add a few waves with a straightener, or use hair oil for extra shine.

So? It’s not complicated to maintain short hair to keep it on point and make your round face look slimmer, right? The key is self-confidence and knowing what works best for you. Let’s try one of the styles above tonight! Guaranteed to make you feel more confident when you go out.
