With the right cut and styling, bangs can help slim and elongate round faces. I’ll share some of the best bang ideas to try if you have a round face shape.
1. Wispy Layered Bangs
Wispy layered bangs are a very common choice for both long and short hair lengths. It is an ideal bang for a face-framing look and also it gives a round face that perky cute look.
This should be your go-to bangs when you are trying to grow out your hair or simply do not want to love many strands of high. This is also a good low-maintenance bang hairstyle.
2. Round Face Choppy Bangs
The goal of choosing choppy bangs for your round face is to create an elongated shape for your face and we have to admit that this hairstyle does frame your face perfectly.
Not only are you going to love this cool look but it also reduce the apperance of roundness and give you that effortlessly pretty smooth straight lines.
3. Side-Swept Long Bangs
Side-swept long bangs are a great choice for round faces. I love how they create the illusion of length, helping to balance out fuller cheeks.
These bangs frame the face nicely, drawing attention to your eyes and cheekbones. They’re versatile too – you can style them sleek or wavy.
I recommend asking your stylist to cut them at an angle, starting longer near your ear and gradually getting shorter. This helps soften round face shapes.
For styling, I suggest using a large round brush while blow-drying to get that perfect sweep. A light hairspray will keep them in place all day.
4. Curtain Bangs with Layers
Curtain bangs with layers are a great choice for round faces. This style frames the face nicely and can make it appear longer. I recommend asking your stylist to cut the bangs longer on the sides and shorter in the middle.
The layers help add volume and movement to your hair. They can be customized to flatter your face shape and hair texture. I suggest keeping the layers longer if you have thick hair, and shorter if your hair is fine.
To style curtain bangs with layers, I use a round brush while blow-drying. This helps create a soft, face-framing effect. For a more casual look, you can simply tuck the bangs behind your ears or pin them back.
5. Soft Wispy Fringe
Soft wispy bangs are a great choice for round faces. They add a light, airy touch to your look without overwhelming your features.
I love how these bangs frame the face gently. They’re not too heavy or blunt, which helps balance out fuller cheeks.
To style wispy bangs, I use a round brush while blow-drying. This adds some volume and shape. A light-hold hairspray keeps them in place without looking stiff.
These bangs work well with many hairstyles. You can pair them with long layers, a bob, or even an updo. They’re versatile and easy to grow out if you change your mind.
6. Full Blunt Bangs
Full blunt bangs can work wonders for round faces. I’ve seen them create a striking look that adds structure and definition. They cut straight across the forehead, forming a bold line that can help balance facial proportions.
When styled well, these bangs draw attention to the eyes and cheekbones. I recommend keeping them just above the eyebrows for the best effect. This length prevents them from overwhelming the face.
To maintain this style, regular trims are key. I suggest visiting your stylist every 3-4 weeks to keep the edges crisp and neat. Styling with a flat iron can help achieve that smooth, polished finish.
7. Textured Pixie with Bangs
I love the spiky pixie with bangs for round faces. This short, textured cut adds definition and dimension to hair. It creates a slimming effect on the face.
The bangs help balance round face shapes. They add softness to the pixie style. I recommend asking for choppy layers around the face and longer layers in the back.
To style, I suggest using a texture spray for separation in the bangs. This defines the layers too. A light hairspray gives hold without weighing down the style.
This versatile cut works well for many hair types. It’s low maintenance but still looks edgy and modern.
8. Curly Bangs with Volume
Curly bangs with volume are a great choice for round faces. I love how they add height and texture, drawing attention upward and creating a flattering frame.
To style curly bangs, I recommend using a diffuser when drying. This helps maintain the natural curl pattern and boosts volume at the roots.
For extra lift, I suggest gently teasing the roots with a fine-toothed comb. A light-hold mousse can also help define curls and add bounce.
I find that curly bangs look best when they’re slightly longer, falling just below the eyebrows. This length allows for versatility in styling and helps balance round face shapes.
9. Feathered Bangs
Feathered bangs are a great choice for round faces. I love how they soften facial features and add a touch of elegance. These bangs are cut to create a wispy, textured look that frames the face beautifully.
For round faces, I recommend keeping the feathering slightly longer on the sides. This helps to elongate the face shape. The light, airy texture of feathered bangs also draws attention upward, creating a flattering vertical line.
When styling feathered bangs, I suggest using a round brush to add volume and movement. A light-hold hairspray can help maintain the feathery texture throughout the day.
10. Choppy Side Bangs
Choppy side bangs are a great choice for round faces. I find they add texture and movement, which helps balance facial fullness. The uneven edges create a slimming effect.
To style choppy side bangs, I use texturizing spray for extra definition. A flat iron can add subtle bends and flips. I like to keep the length around the cheekbone level.
These bangs work well with various hair lengths and textures. They’re versatile enough to sweep to the side or pin back. Choppy side bangs are low-maintenance but still make a statement.
11. Long Parted Bangs
Long-parted bangs are a great choice for round faces. I love how they create a sleek, elongating effect that can slim the face.
To style them, I part my bangs down the middle or slightly off-center. This draws the eye vertically, making my face appear longer.
I keep the length just past my cheekbones for the most flattering look. Styling with a round brush while blow-drying helps create a soft curve that frames my face nicely.
For extra volume and movement, I sometimes use a large-barrel curling iron on the ends. This adds some gentle waves that complement the roundness of my face shape.
12. Bottleneck Bangs
Bottleneck bangs are a great choice for round faces. I love how they create a gentle curve that frames the face beautifully.
To style them, I use a small round brush and medium heat on my hairdryer. This helps shape the subtle arc that defines the look.
For extra volume, I spray some volumizing product at the roots before drying. It keeps the bangs from falling flat.
Bottleneck bangs work well with various hairstyles. I’ve seen them look amazing with shag cuts and wavy styles. They add a cool 70s vibe to any look.
13. Micro Fringe
Micro fringe is a bold choice for round faces. I’ve seen it work well when cut precisely. It’s a super short fringe that barely covers the forehead.
This style can create an edgy look. It draws attention to the eyes and cheekbones. For round faces, it can add some angular lines.
To style, I recommend keeping it straight and neat. A tiny bit of styling product helps it stay in place. Regular trims are a must to maintain the short length.
14. Bardot Bangs
Bardot bangs are a great choice for round faces. They’re longer on the sides, framing the face nicely. This style helps create the illusion of a longer, more oval face shape.
I recommend asking your stylist to cut them so they graze your cheekbones. This length draws attention to your eyes and cheekbones, taking focus away from fuller cheeks.
For styling, I suggest using a round brush to add some volume and soft waves. A light-hold hairspray can help keep the look in place all day.
Bardot bangs work well with many hair lengths and textures. They’re versatile enough to suit both casual and dressy looks.
15. Grown-out Bangs
Grown-out bangs are a great option for round faces. I find they create a softer, more elongated look. As bangs grow, they frame the face nicely and can be styled to the side.
This low-maintenance style works well with various hair textures. I recommend using a round brush when blow-drying to add volume and shape. A light-hold styling product can help keep the bangs in place.
Grown-out bangs blend seamlessly with the rest of your hair. They’re versatile too – you can pin them back or let them fall naturally. This style is perfect for those wanting to transition away from shorter bangs.
16. Piecey Bangs
Piecey bangs are a great choice for round faces. I love how they add texture and dimension to the forehead area. These bangs are cut into choppy, separated pieces that create a casual, effortless look.
To style piecey bangs, I use a small amount of texturizing paste. I apply it to my fingertips and gently separate the hair strands. This technique gives the bangs a lived-in, tousled appearance.
I find that piecey bangs work well with various hair lengths and textures. They can soften facial features and draw attention to the eyes. For round faces, I recommend angling the pieces slightly to create a face-slimming effect.
17. Asymmetrical Bangs
Asymmetrical bangs are a great choice for round faces. They create an interesting, edgy look that can help balance out facial features.
I love how these bangs are cut at different lengths. The longer side adds a nice frame to the face, while the shorter side gives a playful touch.
This style works well with both straight and wavy hair. It’s easy to style and maintain too. You can sweep the longer side across your forehead for a softer look or keep it more defined for a bolder statement.
Asymmetrical bangs can make your face appear slimmer and more angular. This is perfect if you want to downplay the roundness of your face shape.
18. Swoopy Side Bangs
Swoopy side bangs are a great choice for round faces. They create a diagonal line across the forehead, which helps elongate the face shape. I recommend asking your stylist to cut them at an angle, starting longer near your temple and gradually getting shorter.
These bangs work well with various hair lengths and textures. For styling, I suggest using a round brush while blow-drying to create that signature swoop. A light-hold hairspray can help keep the look in place throughout the day.
Swoopy side bangs are versatile and can be adjusted to suit your preferences. Depending on your mood or occasion, you can wear them more or less swept to the side.

20. Flicked Out Bangs
Flicked-out bangs can be a great choice for round faces. I’ve seen this style create a flattering frame that softens facial features.
To achieve this look, I recommend cutting the bangs to eyebrow length. Then use a round brush and blow dryer to flip the ends outward.
This style works well with various hair lengths and textures. It adds a playful, retro vibe to your look while helping to elongate your face shape.
For best results, I suggest using a lightweight styling product to hold the flick in place throughout the day.
21. Disconnected Bangs
Disconnected bangs are a bold choice for round faces. I love how they create an edgy, modern look. These bangs are cut separately from the rest of the hair, giving a distinct separation.
For round faces, I recommend keeping the bangs longer on the sides. This helps elongate the face shape. The middle can be shorter, creating an interesting contrast.
To style disconnected bangs, I suggest using a flat iron for a sleek look. Or try texturizing spray for a more tousled effect. The key is to keep them looking intentionally separate from the rest of your hair.
