Round faces can pull off a wide variety of hairstyles as long as a few basic rules are kept in mind. First of all the main thing that should be considered when trying to decide which hairstyle you would most like to try is to keep in mind that a suitable hair style is one that minimizes the width of the face, making it look more oval. If you fancy layered hairstyles, you should try to make sure that your layers don't end exactly at the chin line because if they do, they will only draw the attention to the roundness of the face, instead of elongating it like they should. If you are wondering what type of layers you should opt for, then you should know that soft wispy layers as well as shaggy layers are considered the ideal ones for this face shape.
When styling your tresses it's important to remember that much of the same rules apply. If for instance you find that you are in the mood to flip the ends of the hair of your layered hairstyle, make sure that you avoid the frontal area if the styling draws attention to the chin for the same reasons mentioned before. While adding volume at the cheekbone area should be avoided, when it comes to adding volume at the crown of the head, the rules tend to be a little different. By lifting the roots at the top of the head you actually give the illusion of extra length creating a more oval face shape.
