One of the most important factors to take into consideration when choosing a hairstyle that suits you is your face shape. Today we’re talking about hairstyles for round faces and which ones to gravitate to as well as which ones to avoid.

What to Look for in a Good Hairstyle

The trick to a good complimentary hairstyles is very similar to how we apply makeup. You want to accentuate the good and downplay or camouflage the bad. With hairstyles for round faces you want to counteract some of the roundness and make the face appear a little longer rather than wider.

In this version of Hilary Duff’s hairstyle a large barrel curling iron is used to create big sexy curls that scream glam. To create this hairstyle apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair and give your hair a defined middle part. Section your hair into two sections, a top and bottom section, pinning the top section up and out of your way. Begin blow drying the bottom section with a large round brush. Work from root to tip, angling the nozzle of the blow drier downward to avoid fly away hairs. Once the bottom section is dry let down the top section and repeat until all your hair is completely dry.
