There isn’t a rulebook when it comes to haircuts\u2014we should all feel free to wear our hair exactly how we want. However, a great haircut will always highlight your features. When you have a round face, that means opting for a chop that draws on your natural symmetry. One of the best ways to do that? With bangs, according to stylists.\n<\/p>\n

Considering there are many trending styles to choose from\u2014curtained, choppy, blunt, baby\u2014it’s important to lean into looks that suit your needs.\n<\/p>\n

“Longer curtain bangs or shaggy Bardot bangs, for example, complement round faces,” hairstylist and R+Co collective member Marwa Bashir explains. “Layers around the cheekbones [can also] help accentuate high points and bone structure in the face.”\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Whether you’re looking for a feathery fringe or some low-commitment curtains, these 22 examples of bangs for round faces will help get you started.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Zendaya has yet to steer us wrong with hair-spiration, and these choppy bangs are no exception. They have the same effect as your traditional blunt bangs, but the multi-length pieces add an element of dimension you wouldn\u2019t typically get with a straight-across cut.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bangs don\u2019t have<\/em> to be a major change to your overall look. Take a page from Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ book and keep them almost<\/em> as long as the rest of your strands, using a round brush or curling iron to sculpt them into face-framing sections.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Gemma Chan\u2019s choppy fringe is an ultra-cool twist on traditional straight-across bangs, featuring pieces at slightly different lengths. Though this look was created using (surprise!) a clip-in piece, the undone texture looks like it could have been created using Chan\u2019s natural waves.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Straight-across bangs aren\u2019t an obvious first choice for round face shapes (according to stylists, they tend to look best on oblong faces), but Selena Gomez makes them work by leaning into her natural texture, which lends itself to a more feathered look. This prevents them from looking too heavy on top, which can mess with the overall dimensionality of the cut.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Curtain bangs are a stylist favorite for round faces. With so many styles to choose from, you really can\u2019t go wrong. Isla Fisher\u2019s face-framing layers can be easily duplicated with a blowdryer and round brush.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bashir cautions against super-square, wide bangs for round faces as they can “draw the eye to the widest part of the head.” To keep the face balanced, opt for a lengthened take on the blunt bang that extends past your brow bone, like Chrissy Teigen showcases here.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There\u2019s really no wrong way to embrace curly bangs. One important pro tip to remember: Because shrinkage is real<\/em>, have your stylist cut your bangs on dry hair so they don\u2019t wind up shorter than you want.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As mentioned, wispy bangs are an excellent option for anyone with a round face looking to experiment with a straight-across style; they\u2019re easy to manage and don\u2019t add much weight to your look. The piecey look, as shown by Olivia Munn, is traditionally cut with a razor and will grow out seamlessly.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Cameron Diaz\u2019s low-commitment curtain bangs create a stunning frame for her face. The deep side part creates an asymmetrical look, but this type of cut can be styled in many different ways (down the middle, tucked behind your ears, or pulled back).\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Shaggy bangs are shorter in the center and graduate into longer pieces at the sides. They are a great option for creating a frame around round face shapes. Cara Delevingne’s platinum, roughed-up take on the look may be straight out of the ’80s, but it feels right at home in 2024.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“A rounded face works well with a sharp-line bang that’s straight across at the sides to sculpt the face,” celebrity hairstylist Rebekah Forecast at Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon previously told Byrdie. Penelope Cruz takes that straight-line style to the next level by turning it into a “bottleneck” look with longer pieces on the sides.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To steal Gabrielle Union’s straight, side-swept bangs, Bashir recommends blow-drying your front pieces with a paddle boar bristle brush and “using a back and forth wrapping motion to help the bangs lay naturally.”\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Side-swept bangs create more length, which can help balance out round face shapes. Copy Queen Latifah\u2019s cascading take with a quick once-over with your curling iron (ideally a 1.25-inch barrel), and pin up the section to let it set.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

These barely-there bangs are perfect for anyone looking to experiment with fringe. They work great with thin textures and can be easily styled with a blow dryer, round brush, and creaseless clips. \u201c[These clips] can shape [your bangs] into place as they cool down and will help the bangs stay where you want\u2014especially if you have any cowlicks,” Bashir says.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
