Hairstyles for Round Faces: 20 Flattering Cuts

Cameron Diaz has a round face and frequently wears her long hair up in a ponytail or straight and blow-dried straight, as seen here. This style is flattering on a round face because long hair creates the illusion of length in the face and the straight hair doesn't add body to the sides of the face. In fact, the curtain effect has a nice way of slimming Diaz's face.

Also note Diaz's center part. "If you want to wear a center part, the way to make it work for a round face is to have hair a few inches past your shoulders with layers that hit at the jaw," says hairstyle Chris McMillan in Allure Magazine. "Ask your stylist to cut in a bit on the sides to create subtle angles."
