Sleek straight black pixie cut with tousled finish and long fringe
Having a round face is a ‘good thing’, by the way, and does not mean a fat face.

A heavy fringe – either straight-across or in a diagonal side-swept style – is the perfect way to re-proportion a round face. The easy short hairstyles, based on this idea, demonstrate a pixie cut for thick hair, with sliced layers creating a strong face-flattering line across a round face.

You just need to use a little styling product, before blow-drying in a straight, textured comb-over.

Cute ‘long to short’ hairstyles makeover for round face
What we’ve got here is a very successful makeover that lifts the focus up to a point just above the head – making the lower face, chin and neck appear slimmer. As this shaggy pixie haircut is inches shorter than the long bob she was wearing before, the model is left with one of the latest, easy short hairstyles with a strong, diagonal fringe that flatters a round face. Cutting the hair to a length that ‘tails off’ just below the cheekbones reduces ‘width’ and the cute, wispy tips accentuate a pair of well-shaped lips. Overall, the ‘after’ pixie cut frames the eyes and forehead, instead of focussing on the model’s slightly double chin and making her neck look broader than it actually is!
Blonde fringed front focus on mousey-brown pixie cut
Another great way to lift up the focal point of the best short hairstyles for round faces is to have a bright blonde tint on a thick, side-swept fringe!
