#1 Wispy Side Bangs
If you have shorter, looser curls like Julia, wispy side bangs with a bit of volume on the top look completely stunning. Pro tip: Use extra hair spray to keep your cut and style in place.

#2 Flipped-Out Bob with Bangs
Amy’s flipped-out bob adds so much texture and volume to the hair. This works so well for straighter, shorter hair types.
#3 Wavy or Curly Bangs
“If you have naturally curly or wavy hair, it might be time to try wavy or curly bangs,” says Hawkins. “This low-maintenance style is so cool, so effortless, and can give you a whole new vibe! Just be sure to cut your curly or wavy hair when it dries so it doesn’t shrink up!”

#4 Short Piecey Bangs
This long, almost shag-like cut with layers and bangs is really working for me. The short, piecey bangs are a nice touch, too, and look great on rounder face shapes.
#5 Side Swept Bangs
If short bangs aren’t really your thing, go for longer, side-swept bangs or face-framing pieces. Celebrity stylist Jamie Wiley is a fan. “A great option [for round face shapes] is a full side swept fringe,” she says. “Creating length and texture will offset the roundness, so longer bangs and longer layers work best.”

#6 Blunt Piecey Bangs
Blunt, piecey bangs á la Rihanna are always in. I love how they balance out her face shape with a cut that hits just below the chin. It’s the perfect length for youthful-looking faces.
#7 Classic Cut Bangs
Although Sydney has more of an oval face shape, I still think this particular style would look gorgeous on rounder face shapes, too. The longer face-framing layers and classic-cut bangs are so universally flattering. To tame flyaways, try a smoothing pomade like R+Co’s Dart.

#8 Cropped Haircut with Bangs
Wiley also thinks it’s a great idea to add height and volume at the root if you’re styling short hair with bangs. “If you wear a cropped style, think height, not width, when styling. Cutting above or below the jawline is ideal as it will offset the roundness [of your face]. If cutting right at the jawline, it will draw attention to it. So above or below is key and adding in waves or curls for added texture.”
#9 Curly Bangs
“I personally like longer hair with just a little bit of layering around the face,” says celebrity stylist Laura Polko. “Especially with curly hair—really embrace the curls, have them shine, and have a lot of volume. Curly hair is really flattering on a round face. If people have a rounded face or more youthful baby face, curls are the best look! With the new T3 Singelpass Curl options, there is something for everyone. I really love the smallest size (the 0.5 inch) for touching up and enhancing natural curls.”
#10 Mussed Bangs
Polko also stresses the importance of one key styling hack. “Layering is super important for a round face shape, especially longer layers to create the illusion of a more oval face.”
I love Emmanuelle’s mussed bangs and layers here. They look so effortlessly chic.
#11 Wispy Curtain Bangs
Wispy curtain bangs are also another great look for round face shapes, but they can be a little more high maintenance according to Hawkins. “They tend to get oily faster,” he says. Spraying dry shampoo like the SexyHair Laundry Day Dry Shampoo ($21) onto a brush and then brushing your fringe will soak up oils and give your bangs a much-needed lift! A curtain bang that’s a bit longer is a nice low maintenance change, too.”

#12 Baby Bangs
And what about baby bangs? I’m here to make an argument fully in favor of round face shapes. It’s cute and adds just a touch of uniqueness without having to go all in on blunt or curtain bangs.
#13 Micro Bangs
I’ll admit that a pixie cut with micro-bangs is bold. With the right stylist, though, you can make some magic happen for a rounder face shape.
#14 Lengthy Blunt Bangs
Lengthy blunt bangs with a few longer pieces on the side really frame a round face. They also wear perfectly with a classic high bun.

#15 Springy Curly Bangs
Shorter layers with springy, curly bangs look so cute. Curls already have a lot of natural volume, so this cut looks extra special with a headband.
#16 Textured Bangs
“I love a textured bang for a round face,” says celebrity stylist Jennifer Korab. “Texture is important to help diffuse the roundness and the length because it lays well above the eye area which can elongate the face instead of widening it.” Keep a texturizing product handy to make sure they stay in place.
