Asymmetrical bob hairstyles for round faces are the height of fashion right now, so you have a wide choice of flattering bob haircuts to choose from!  And don’t miss these fabulous new highlighting colours and designs for spring and summer 2018!

Lavender-grey angled short hairstyles for round faces

One of the most interesting new colour trends is the combination of purple tones with sea-green tips, which is cropping up more and more in the most stylish short haircuts for spring/summer 2018.  This unconventional bob hairstyle is suitable for fine or medium-texture hair. The geometric bangs ‘break-up’ the circle and diminish a wide or high forehead. It has ripple-waves and ragged ends, created by thinning the last two or three inches and then defining them with a little styling product. And if that wasn’t enough – the gorgeous lavender shade turns to subtle sea-green accentuating the unevenly textured tips!  It’s totally Boho!

Choppy tips and geometric wave on blonde bob for round faces

Quite a lot of flattering bob hairstyles for round faces are angled short hairstyles or have broken waves.  This is because a round face already has plenty of curves, so a short haircut with strong, straight lines or only a slight wave helps to diminish this.  Here’s a cute medium bob hairstyle for round faces with an asymmetrical side-parting and hair draped over one side of the face to make the face appear slimmer and, therefore, more oval.  A defined section of geometric waves creates plenty of attractive texture around the lower lengths and the light-blonde highlights reflect flattering light onto the face.

Smoothly curved chin-length bob hairstyles with pink highlights on brunette base

As round faces are so symmetrical, the more unevenness and asymmetry you can pack into your short haircuts, the more flattering they will be.  This chin-length bob hairstyle for thick hair adds length to a round face by leaving the forehead bare and minimising volume at the sides of the head.  Blunt-cut ends are also a good way to add a strong, straight outline to hairstyles for round faces. And pushing one side casually back behind the ear adds even more asymmetry. The pretty, lavender-pink highlights add extra style to a feminine and face-flattering haircut.  Wear as a chic, daily hairstyle and with a cute hair accessory, for parties, too!

Messy medium bob on fine hair for round face

To counteract a curvy round face, keep to simple straight lines and long layers, like this inverted bob on fine hair.  Cutting hair to just below the chin adds ‘length’ to a wide face, making it appear slimmer.  Then, with a sweep of hair draped over one side of the face, you can ensure that only a narrower section of the face is visible.  A variety of different layer-lengths is probably a better choice on fine hair, but if you do choose long layers, you can add more volume and texture by teasing/back-combing the hair into a messy finish like the image below.

Flattering long to short wavy bob hairstyles makeover for round faces

Looking at the model’s original hairstyle you can see that she is showing too much forehead and the widest point of her face, the cheeks, are also fully revealed.  Compare that to the more flattering look achieved in the ‘after’ image, by the medium wavy bob hairstyle.  The extra-long fringe sweeps down in a helpful asymmetric curve to cut the roundness of the forehead very effectively.  The widest part of the face is also minimised by a curve of hair covering the cheek. In addition, the hair is given extra body from angular, broken waves, rather than round curls, which should never be worn in hairstyles for round faces.  Getting rid of the long, shapeless strands on the upper chest, creates added volume to minimise a slightly pointed chin. Altogether, this lovely medium bob hairstyles’ makeover suits both round and heart-shaped faces beautifully!

Beautiful brunette short haircuts for heart shaped faces

Short hairstyles for Asian girls: And here’s how to wear thick, strong brunette hair to flatter a round or heart shaped face.  Starting from the chin, which can be narrow on heart faces, the long layers keep their thickness at the ends.  This balances out the face, ‘filling-in’ the strong facial curve from wide cheeks to a pointed chin.  The layers cover the outer edge of the right side, minimising width. However, the layers on either side of the chin are curved-under to look thicker and add extra width at this narrow point.  The smart, white straw-boater tops off this super choppy bob hairstyle perfectly, by adding face-lengthening height on top!
