Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a haircut flattering on a round face?
The strongest round-face haircuts reduce side bulk and add vertical structure. Any cut that adds height on top usually reads slimmer and more balanced.
Should round faces avoid short hair?
Not at all. Short hair works well when the sides are tighter than the top. The problem is usually uniform shortness, not short length itself.
Is a fade good for a round face?
Yes. A fade is one of the easiest ways to remove side width and make a round face look more angular, especially when paired with some length on top.
