If you have a round face and are hunting for your next look, what better place to find inspiration than celebrities who stun with this face shape? Visual examples are especially helpful because they show which hairstyles flatter rounder features in real life, rather than just in theory. To make those comparisons, though, it helps to understand what makes a face round. For a face to actually classify as round, it needs to have roughly the same width and length and have the cheekbones as the widest point. With such proportions, finding complementary hairstyles means looking for cuts that make the face look a bit longer and soften the cheeks without placing emphasis on the width at the cheekbones.
One tip to keep in mind is that avoiding haircuts that make your face look rounder is just as important as knowing how to apply makeup to round faces. Celebs with this face shape pair their well-chosen haircuts with makeup that focuses on contouring along the sides of the face to help balance their features. With this in mind, all that's left is choosing a cut that balances out rounder features.

Kelly Clarkson is undoubtedly beautiful, but certain cuts like this high bun with wispy, face-framing bangs make her look stunning.

To really nail this look for rounder faces, go long or supplement volume for length.
