Before getting a pixie cut, know that you'll need to get it trimmed every four to six weeks, so it's a commitment. A favorite of actress Taraji P. Henson, this haircut can be soft or dramatic depending on the way you play it. I love a middle part for this cut because it allows the shorter layers in the front to frame the face. This will help take weight out of the ends and generally gives more movement and volume to the hair. For a round face, the long bob is an excellent choice.
It's neither too long nor too short, and the length gives you some hair to play with for different styles—and the ability to pull it back if you want to keep it out of your face. Try to keep your bob exactly this length, like South Korean actress Lee Ji-eun, just below your chin.
Keep volume in mind, too—adding it to the top of your head to define the shape. Marjan particularly recommends this cut for people with angular jawlines. To distinguish this cut from a standard pixie, "Tell your stylist to crop the sides and back using a 'scissor over comb' technique to keep the ends soft as opposed to using clippers. Cut the top with a razor or shears for more fullness and keep length toward the front for softness around the face.
Gentle waves deflect the roundness of the face as well, so you may want to play up your natural waves, as Lana Condor did here. You can do this by scrunching your hair as it dries. If you want to boost it, wrap your hair around the barrel of a large curling iron. Because texture at the bottom draws your eyes downward, a haircut with layers elongates your face, as is the case on singer Jordin Sparks.
Marjan suggests telling your stylist to "keep the volume at the root and movement toward the ends," adding that you should "Have them texturize the ends for added movement when you blow-dry. For those who want something different but love their mid-length hair, like Chrissy Teigen, this is the cut for you.
As for the layers in the back, you want just the shortest layer to sit around three inches higher than your length. This will make styling easier to create height in the crown. She goes on to say that if you want to get this cut, you should "Have [your stylist] use a facial feature as a guide for where the part should be—the iris or arch or edge of the eyebrow is usually a good gauge.
Ask for a length that hits anywhere between an inch below your chin to your collarbone and for layers to focus toward the ends and less around the face. Another rule that's meant to be broken is the one that says curly hair should not be cut short. With the right cut, like actress Jill Scott's short bob, it can be adorable and sexy at the same time. To pull it off, you'll need lots of layers to reduce the volume.
Marjan says that "lots of texture allows the hair to frame your face, with a lift at the root and waves accentuating your eyes and lips. If you choose to cut your curls this short, be prepared to put some work into styling it.
You'll want to get some tips from your stylist for taming unruly curls and be ready to get noticed for your bounce. If you're asking for it from your stylist, tell them you want your hair to stay heavy "to avoid the cut getting mushroomy or round.
The box bob is precision cutting at its finest. This cut slims the sides of the face and creates length below the chin, elongating the face shape. This cut is youthful, professional, and trendy all in one.
For thin hair that doesn't have much volume, the classic bob is one of the best options. All of the hair is cut to one length, though this one is best just below the ear and above the chin. This is a style that you can change up just by switching your part, as Cameron Diaz proves. Part it off to the side and let some of it drape your forehead or part it down the middle for a slimming frame on the face. It's wonderful if you prefer the more casual mussy style, and it can be very nice with natural waves.
Jenna Coleman's chestnut locks look great with a cut that hits at the shoulders, has a center-part, and infuses a little bit of volume at the roots. To achieve a more natural look than a dead-center part, take a cue from Coleman and go slightly off-center—about half-an-inch on either side of your nose.
Any blunt cut at the chin will accentuate the roundness, so going a little longer is ideal. As seen here on Queen Latifah, a mid-length lob helps to frame the face so it looks less round.
Those with round faces typically want to avoid jaw-length bobs, especially if you have a short neck. As round faces don't have strong angles, the softness of the shape looks great with sleek and shiny hair pushed back from the face. PS — doesn't Mindy look great here? Credit: Getty Images.
