Hairstyles for Men with Round Faces

Sep 07,2022

Round Face Haircut for Men

Hey there, round-faced gentlemen of the world! You know, having a perfectly spherical face is nothing short of a blessing. It's like being the moon - admired by all, but tricky to accessorize. And by accessorize, we mean finding the right hairstyle. So, grab a cup of your favorite brew, sit back, and let's teleport into the world of haircuts that will make your round face shine brighter than a full moon.
 
First things first, let's talk about your hair. Is it curly like a bowl of ramen or straight as an arrow? And how much of it do you have? A lush forest or a sparse desert? 
 
There are two most important things to consider when choosing a hairstyle for a round face shape. They are natural texture and hair density. Having extra curly or stick straight hair changes what options are reasonable. Also, how much hair you have per square inch will help you make a more informed choice to some degree. Higher density hair may need a bit more styling. A lower density hair may need a different selection in length.

 

 
 
Now, here's the secret sauce – go high on top, short on the sides. Think of it like a skyscraper in the middle of a city. It adds height, making your face appear more oval than round. Avoid the center parts and traditional buzz cuts. They're like horizontal stripes on a round body – they just emphasize the roundness. But a side part or a modified buzz cut with a low fade? Now, that's a whole different ball game!

Fancy a beard? Consider growing a mighty one! A strong beard with length at the chin and a clean taper towards your temple is like an optical illusion. It creates angles where there were none.

Let's explore some haircuts that will have you looking dapper in no time:

 

 

volume and texture

The Classic Side Part

This style fits almost any setting and personal style. It works quite well with a more round face shape. A little prowess in the styling department and the right styling products is all that it takes. You can add height to your face shape drawing out the round and making it appear more oval. This timeless cut can be styled into a wide array of looks, also making it the most versatile on our list. The side part will require a bit of time to get the volume you may be looking for. Depending on texture and density, it might need a blowdryer. But with so many style options the pros far outweigh the cons for this haircut.
 

 

The Quiff

The quiff is a brilliant choice for a more rounded face shape because it is all about height on top. In this haircut the sides and back are shorn close, typically either a mid or high fade, the top is left at least 3” long. Use a blowdryer and a hair product that matches your hair type to lift the hair on the front up and away from your face. Hold it in place with a strong hold wax such as Da Wax or pomade for a softer look. This hairstyle is best suited for straight to mildly wavy hair with medium to high density. Be extra sure to choose products you trust with this cut. They can spell the difference between looking great all day or just the first half of the day.

 

 
 
 

Long Luscious Locks

Long hair can be a great option for individuals with a round face if they are careful about the length. You do not want any hair to draw attention to the cheekbones or the chin area. This will accentuate the lack of angles present. So my advice is to grow the hair at least to the mid-neck but longer is better. The longer your hair gets the stronger the illusion of an oval face shape. Furthermore, rethink adding a fringe or layers around the front. Both are likely to add to the roundness of your face shape as opposed to covering it up. You can pull it up into the ever loveable man-bun. Just be careful to do so a bit higher adding the needed vertical height to offset the natural roundness.

The Faux Hawk 

The faux hawk has come so far since its introduction in the early aughts. This hairstyle works for many face shapes and many textures and densities. It's almost as versatile as the classic side part we mentioned earlier but with an edgy twist. It's a great option for gentlemen with a round face shape because it gives length on top. building vertical height. It diminishes some of the natural roundness in the cheekbone area as well. Consider these 2 ways of styling:  
  • Clean and neat with either a side part or slicked back for a more professional look or
  • Up and textured giving it the typical spiky faux hawk silhouette.
The length is entirely up to you. But I suggest a fade on the sides and back to achieve the more oval illusion. If you leave more than 3” of length on top you will have more versatility in styling. Still, this needs a little more work on your part.
For a true faux hawk appearance, you will need to keep a strong hold foundation product on hand. Think about serum or gel, preferably with heat protectant abilities. A smoothing iron will help you get your locks pointed up high all day. And, a finishing product like a hair spray will keep everything in place from sun up to sundown.
 
So there you have it, folks! Round faces are not a curse, they're a canvas! All you need to do is find the right style for you. And remember, it's not just about looking good, it's about feeling great too. So go ahead, try these styles, and let us know how they worked out for you. Happy hairstyling!
