A round-shaped face is considered difficult for both haircuts and jewelry, makeup and even outfits. Full or slender, it looks wide and somewhat flat. However, with the right selection of bangs, you can confidently beat the shortcomings of such a face and make it irresistible. To do this, consider the types of bangs for a round face with long hair, as well as short and medium hair, and the nuances of creating them.
Subtleties of selection
In nature, opposites complement each other. The same works in the image. If the face is round, it must be diluted with elements of other shapes that are far from round.
For girls with this face shape, a haircut is selected that visually stretches the face, giving it clarity and symmetry, because round faces have an abundance of smoothness, femininity and softness initially. Here are just some basic rules that women with this type of face should consider:
- You have to experiment with the length. Short haircuts make the face and neckopen and in combination with oblique bangs look extremely successful. Medium length hair is also perfectly complemented by different bangs, giving the desired effect for a round face.
- Pull out your hair. They bring the necessary accents into the soft features of the rounded contour of the face, "collecting" it and making it more defined.
- One of the most successful haircuts - with oblique bangs covering the cheekbones or cheeks (maybe one cheek). The length and structure of the hair may be different in this case.
- The offset parting and asymmetry of the haircut are very, very desirable.
- It is better not to experiment with straight or even bangs (any length). They look unfortunate on round faces, making them caricature and visually hiding the neck.
- No parting. It can only emphasize the circle.
- Solid hair color or monochrome coloring is better to change to ombre / coloring / highlighting and similar multi-color types of coloring that can add volume to the hair and stretch the face.
Types of bangs for a round face type are really diverse: beveled, gradient, to the side, long and short (but not medium!), As well as a high fringe bangs up - all this will help to give the girl zest and veil the unfavorable nuances of a round face.
Short
In fact, this is a rather dangerous type of bangs, which can unsuccessfully emphasize the rounded oval of the face. Care should be taken when deciding on this type of bangs for a round face (the photo below shows such a type).
Visually she shortens the neck, "flattens" facial features so that they seem to be widely spaced or concentrated in the center (depending on the location of the eyes). You should pay attention to the texture of the hair: owners of thick hair can afford short bangs, while sparse strands can fall off and look untidy.
The length of the haircut also plays a role. If you do a short bang in combination with a short haircut, then the result is usually harmonious. If on medium and long hair, then it is not a fact that it will look as we would like. How lucky with the stylist. In general, for any type of face it is not recommended to combine long hair with short bangs - this rarely makes a girl stand out.
Beveled
Short hair with a round face looks very, very good. They make it open, do not make the oval heavier. As a rule, the bangs in such haircuts are beveled to the side to visually lengthen the face. An arc would also look good, focusing on the eyes.
This type of oblique bangs for a round face adds style and zest to its owner. The length of the beveled bangs can be changed from very short to long for half the face, thereby changing the image.
In the first case, it will turn out to be lighter, more dynamic, youthful. The second is suitable for mysterious, languid and seductive women. Regardless of the length, oblique bangs will successfully hide the imperfections of a round face.
Graduated
This is a bold type of bangs for a round face, as with a largelikely to make the chin heavier and shorten the neck. A solid graduated (torn) bang with a slight bend can successfully emphasize the eyes and symmetry of the girl's facial features.
However, it should not be made solid with a transition to a common pile of hair, just to avoid enhancing the visual effect of roundness. This type of bangs for a round face with long hair looks the most successful.
The fact is that the total length of the hair will visually lengthen the neck and elongate the face, which compensates for the risk of excess rounding described above.
Even medium hair will fit this type of bangs for a round face type. It can be launched both from the area above the forehead and from the middle of the head, thus making it more intense.
Long
The long type of bangs for a round face is one of the most successful. It makes the total volume of hair intense, the oval - longer, and facial features - more pronounced. Please note that here, in the photo below, an offset parting is chosen - a frequent companion of girls with a round oval face. It helps lengthen and "lighten" it.
This type of bangs for a round face with long hair looks more effective than with short hair, as the total length of the hair lengthens the face.
Another variety of long bangs is found in bob haircuts. This is an even more successful type of bangs for a round face and a small head in particular. He stretches the oval of the face, at the same time visually raises the back of the head, and now the round one looks like an oval one.
In addition to this effect, bob makes facial features more refined, symmetrical, and the image - original and stylish. It is definitely suitable for any event: a date, a corporate party, a business meeting, a dinner with parents, a trip to the sea. The bob is very easy to make, quick to style, and a well-groomed look is guaranteed for the whole day.
To the side
This type of bangs for a round face - parted in half or mostly on one side - also does an excellent job of playing up his visual bulkiness.
It is best to do bangs with a parting on long hair. Moreover, you can constantly change the length of the bangs, beating the overall ensemble. A straight parting will give the face harmony and the appearance of regular facial features, while an offset parting will add a touch of playfulness and unusualness.
This bang will look good on all hair types and cut lengths.
Solid
An option that you can also consider is this kind of bangs for a round face with a high forehead. Nothing solves the problem of an accentuated forehead like a thick solid bang starting from the back of the head.
It is better not to neglect the basic rule of style for rounded shapes (at least the face, at least the whole body) - asymmetry. Solid bangs are best done to the side. It can be sharp, as in the photo below, it can be even, but then "torn" at the ends.
The disadvantage of this type of bangs for a round face is that it looks mostly with short hair. On medium and long hairthe effect is already different - more ponderous and less airy and mysterious. Therefore, you can not choose a bang design for yourself, not in accordance with the design of the haircut.
High
And, finally, the last, but not the beauty, high bangs. It can be created from strands of any length located above the forehead. The advantage of this type of bangs for a round face is that the face visually "grows" and becomes an oval.
Hair can simply be combed back, you can weave a braid, as in the photo above. Such bangs can be "put" with any haircut and on any hair. The only exception is the owners of high or strongly convex foreheads. They should not emphasize this zone even more, but the previous option is more suitable.
Helpful tips
A rounded face has a smooth contour, smooth features and almost the same distance from the center to the edge of the contour.
Sometimes the round shape of the face is confused with the rounded due to fullness, when the features, cheekbones and chin are smeared. It is easy to determine exactly a round face: it has a ratio of height and width approximately equal to one, a rounded or unexpressed low chin, and a low forehead.
Due to these features, facial features may look too large or small relative to the size of the face oval. And all the attention is drawn to the cheeks.
Since almost everything suits an oval face, recommending something for a round one, we automatically strive to visually bring it closer to the oval, that is, narrow and stretch it.
Becausethat the round face is mostly soft features, vertical and hard are added to it for balance. One of the main tasks of a haircut (and bangs) for this type of face is to create volume at the crown and area above the forehead. The volume from the sides of the face will have to be abandoned.
Summarizing what was said in the sections on bangs, we conclude: long strands near the face (below the level of the chin), a displaced parting, asymmetry will help to disguise flaws. Straight bangs (and straight horizontal lines in general) should be avoided. To correct the shape of the face, any voluminous haircuts are suitable, for example, graduated bob, pixie, short.
Bangs are better to make lush. Choose glasses so that the frame does not create a flat horizontal line. Suitable, for example, transparent frames, neutral in color, with a curved line at the bridge of the nose. If you need a frame that is certainly bright, then its corners should be, as it were, upturned, directed upwards. The arms are better to choose a simple, neutral color. You can choose geometric shapes, they will bring definition to the face.
