In fact, celebrity hairstylist Chad Wood let us in on the best haircuts for round faces, along with pro styling tips to boot. Whether you're looking for a no-fuss cut or one that complements your hair type and texture, you've come to the right place. The Best Shoulder-Length Haircuts for Your Face Shape, According to Stylists Keep scrolling for 10 of our favorite celebrity-inspired haircuts for round faces. 01 of 10 Center-Parted Lob Steve Granitz/WireImage A lob with a center part like Adele's draws hair frontward into the face to create the illusion of a longer facial structure. The 30 Best Long Bob Haircuts, According to Celebrity Stylists 02 of 10 Side-Swept Bangs Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic A swoopy side-swept bang like Stone's draws the attention horizontally and brings the focus up to the eyes, rather than the roundness of this facial shape. 03 of 10 Long, Wavy Layers Noam Galai/WireImage For fine hair, Wood says that layers should be cut strategically. "Cutting a full layer will take down the weight at the bottom of the hair and make it appear thinner than it actually is," he explains. Instead, opt for a spritz of texture spray to add movement and beachy bends to strands like Teigen's which will make hair appear fuller." 04 of 10 Side-Parted Waves Frank Trapper/Corbis via Getty Although a center part is one way of making the face appear slimmer, sweeping long layers styled in loose curls off to one side will also help the face seem leaner. 05 of 10 Wispy Bangs Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic If you want fringe, Wood recommends a soft, taped version like Johnson's. "A tapered, soft fringe cuts into the sides of the face rather than looking blunt will help elgonate it," says Wood. 12 Celebrities That Prove the Transformative Powers of Getting Bangs 06 of 10 Lob With Long Layers Kevin Mazur/WireImage For thick hair, a center part like Gomez's may remain ideal, but Wood says to ask for fewer layers and for the stylist not to undercut hair. 07 of 10 Long Pixie Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic A shorter length can flatter round-shaped faces, too. However, Wood advises that you incorporate pieces that fall around the face to create balance. A soft Bardot-esque fringe is also a great option to add more movement to the cut. 08 of 10 Soft Waves With Center Part Taylor Hill / Getty Images Soft waves and a dead-center part are always a good combo for round faces that want to keep their length long. How to Figure Out Where to Part Your Hair 09 of 10 Feathered Europa Press via Getty Long, center-parted fringe that tapers off of the sides of the face will flatter round faces rather than creating a blunt, straight line like full bangs. What To Know Before Getting a Feathered Haircut 10 of 10 Face-Framing Layers Steve Jennings/Getty Cameron Diaz's face-framing layers are swoon-worthy. "Layering around the face is going to slim and break up a round face shape. This will draw the eye horizontal and bring the focus to the eyes, cheeks, and lips," says Wood.
