You Can Go Long and Straight, Too

Here, actress Kristin Chenoweth (another classic round face), shows off a great hairstyle for women with round faces. Long, straight hair looks great on a round face.

Why this style works:

Chenoweth allows the hair to grow below the chin which helps elongate her face. When you have a round face and straight hair, you want to avoid chin-length bobs.

Chenoweth sports sleek, graduated layers from her lips down. This helps remove bulk and weight from the sides.

Wispy, tapered ends de-emphasize roundness.
