Round face shapes shows the natural beauty. However, most people who have a round face feel as if the shape takes away the appearance of their facial features. But there are ways that you can bring out those features. To know if your face is round, your cheek area is wider than any other area and you have a well-rounded chin. Many people have a hard time choosing the perfect hairstyle, it can be a struggle to find a haircut that makes you look elegant and chic but finding an appropriate one is based on the simple concept of the geometrical relevance of the shape of the head and face. When choosing a hairstyle, the important thing you should remember is to add height to your style, the higher the hair, the long the face will appear.

How To Find Out About Your Facial Shape
Take A Picture
• Very obvious, you need to take a picture of your face. Take it straight and looking at the camera as if it is a self portrait. Do not smile in the picture, this is because you want to be able to figure out your face's shape in a natural position and by smiling, it makes it harder to figure out your facial shape.
• If you can't take a picture or don't have a camera. Look in front of a mirror and with a dry erase marker that you can get rid off in the mirror, trace around your chin, around your ears and your hairline.
Decide Which Shape Matches Your Face
• Look carefully at the picture or the outline you drew on the mirror. Which shape does it resemble the most? is it square, round, oval or heart-shaped?
• Is your face as long as it is wide? if so, you're probably a circle or a square.
• Is your face longer than it is wider? If so, you're likely a oval.
• Is your chin squared off and angular? If so, most people with square-shaped faces have angular chins.

Short hairstyles with full heavy bangs is a big no, and if the sides 'stick out' that will make the face wider which is what you don't need. Overall it makes the face appear rounder and wider.
Medium

Long
Long hairstyles that are 'sticking out' or have a wavy look, adds width to the sides of the face which makes it look really round. Also bangs is a no, it covers up the forehead too much which makes the face even rounder. Having a round face shape with a round hairstyle does not work.
