a round face shape often fall from a center part. A center part is eye-catching and pulls attention to the top of the face, instead of to the roundness at the cheeks.

4. Wear a partial updo. Pulling the sides and top of your back in a partial updo, while letting the length of hair fall down your shoulders, is particularly slimming for a round face. This works very well when combined with long side-swept bangs as well.

5. Try a graduated hairstyle. Hair that is longer in the front than in the back can look great on a round face shape. Try a cut that keeps front hair length between the chin and shoulders, but is shorter in the back.

6. Keep layers in short hair. Very short styles are not recommended for those with a round face shape. If you do choose to wear short hair, it should never be cut in a short or chin-length bob. This will only add weight to the side of your face. Instead, go for lots of short layers that bring height and keep hair from hanging flat against the sides of your face.

Whatever look you prefer, there are many great hairstyles for a round face shape. Check out the looks on some of celebrities or ask your stylist for recommendations. Another great option is to get a preview of yourself in a new look by using digital makeover software, such as Lifetime TV's Total Beauty Makeover. You can upload a photo of yourself or use a model with a similar face shape and coloring and try out different hairstyles.

Once you know your face shape and understand which hairstyles are most flattering for it, it's easy to find a hairstyle that you will love.
