Your
perfect hairstyle: Luca
Sparti of Paul Windle Salon, London, says:
"Contrary to belief, lots of hairstyles suit
a round face."
• Medium to long curly hair? Ask
your stylist for some choppy layers through
the back and the bottom of your hair to give
it some shape and sex appeal. Whether your hair
is long or short, if it's prone to a wave or
curl, avoid at all costs ending up with a rounded
'bubble cut'.
•
Straight hair? The golden rule to remember
is that round faces need a style that has longer
pieces that fall onto your face to lengthen your
cheeks - making them look slimmer and your cheekbones
more structured. Try a graduated bob cut on to
the face and higher at the back. Alternatively,
a choppy shag will suit your face shape.
• Fringe options: Don't go near a
short blunt fringe - it will only emphasise a
round face. On the other hand, a long wispy fringe
will look great and suit fine hair. And if your
hair is thicker, a longer fringe that you can
sweep to the side will lengthen your face.
• Colour you sexy: Talk to your stylist
about low lights at the side of the face and lighter
highlights at the top of the head to create the
illusion of lustrous length.
Avoid
Chin length hair with a rounded line that mirrors
face’s circular shape. Center parts. Short-short
crops, straight "chopped" bangs. Fullness at side
of ears. A rounded haircut ending at the chin
will certainly add weight to your face shape.
Because the widest part of your face is at the
cheeks and ears, you need to avoid having the
fullness of the cut here as it will make your
face appear wider.

Merchant, Drew Barrymore, Christina Ricci, Charlotte
