A haircut (correctly selected) allows you to emphasize the advantages of appearance and hide flaws. The hairstyle draws the most attention to the face, if it has the correct oval shape, then there are no restrictions in choosing a haircut.
But if the face is round, then professional advice is required on choosing the right hairstyle and length of the strands. The best option is haircuts for medium hair.
Methods for determining a round face
The most important criterion for choosing a haircut and hairstyle is the shape of the face oval.
There are several ways to define this parameter:
- visual assessment. For women with a round face, the cheekbones and cheeks have the same width, and the same distance between the height and width of the face. Additionally, this type is characterized by a wide forehead and a smoothed chin. That is, the contour of the face without corners with smooth transitions;
- using a ruler. The tool measures the above parameters. Or, you can measure the distance from the nose to the cheekbones, forehead and chin. The indicators should be approximately the same (for a round face);
- using a mirror. It is required to stand in front of the mirror, keep your head straight and circle the reflection of the face along the contour using a felt-tip pen. For a round type, the resulting image must match the circle;
- By photo. The method is similar to the definition by the mirror. It is also required to outline the contour of the face and compare it with a geometric figure.
It is important that before starting to determine the type of face oval, you need to remove the hair in a ponytail (stab the short ones with invisible ones), and fasten the bangs (if any) with a hair clip.

To eliminate the drawback, you can, on top of the main haircut, perform a graduation (this will eliminate the volume), profile the bangs and make it asymmetrical if possible;
- the well-fitting strands do not frame the face, making the oval open. This defect is possible if the wrong length of the upper strands is selected when performing a cascade or graduated haircut. To correct it, it is recommended to issue a torn haircut or apply deep thinning of the strands;
- the greatest concentration of hair is located on the crown, giving unnatural volume (possibly with curly or too thick strands). To eliminate the defect, it is required to graduate the hair at the crown;
- hair does not look voluminous, slick. More often, when performing a haircut, a cascade on liquid hair occurs, due to the incorrectly selected length of the strands on the crown.
