Curly Hairstyles for Round Face Shapes

Elsa asks this question;

Hi,
I’m young and have a round face shape, but my hair is curly and as I study medicine, I do not have time to straighten it up all the time, so what hair style do you recommend?

,,

Women with round face shapes should be diligent about finding a talented hair stylist, one who knows their craft well when it comes to face shapes and hair types. I would venture to say that more than half the women with round face face shapes have had what they would call a, ‘haircut from hell,’ more than once in their lifetime.
 
So when this question came in from Elsa, I know she knows she has fewer hair styles to choose from that will fit her round face shape, curly hair type and her lifestyle issue of needing a quick and easy hair style.  If you are thinking short hair, I like this  hiar style that Meg Ryan is wearing for Elsa, but I would style it more off center and shape it a bit tighter to the face at the ears. This layered cut will make the most of your curls and be quick and easy to style with little shaping involved.

Long curly hair styles can be quick and easy to style. You can do ponies, half up do’s, twists, buns, scarves, braids, the options are almost endless. The key to wearing long curly hair well is having a good shape with the right layering for your hair type. Most curly hair is thick hair and layering is one way of thinning the hair as well as shaping it. And, it should go without saying, to keep it as healthy as possible.  Shampoo less, condition more and use a curl defining product, like TIGI’s Catwalk Curls Rock.

So, here is a quick rundown of my suggestions of ‘what NOT to wear’ if you have curly hair and a round face shape.
 

Stay away from:

  • Short, medium or long hair with a rounded silhouette
  • Big hair
  • Full bangs
  • Chin line, one length bobs

Go towards:

  • Layered hair
  • Short hair styles with height at the crown and closer cut at the sides
  • Short hair styles with a distinctive shape like, asymmetrical or diamond shape
  • Off center parts or zig-zag partings
  • Long hair with layers for shape, not fullness
  • Shag type hair styles
