Fabulous fringes for round faces

If you’ve got a round face, the right fringe can elongate and create angles that you didn’t have before. Whatever your preferences, we’ve got three fabulous fringes for round faces to show you!

1. Sideways fringe

A style that will never go out of fashion, sideways fringes add an angular dimension to your face and look great with any hair length. Keep this style in place with our Intense Hold Hairspray  for long-lasting volume.

2. Curtain fringe

A curtain fringe is almost triangular in shape, therefore bringing angles to a rounded face. With its longer sides, it’s extremely versatile and easy to change up if you’re getting bored – simply swish it to the side and make it into a sideways fringe or tuck behind your ears for a style update. 
If you’re tucking behind your ears, make sure to tame those flyaways with Frizz Ease Weightless Wonder Smoothing Crème to keep your tendrils in place. 

3. Baby bangs

Cut high on the forehead to elongate your face, baby bangs are a trend-setting style not for the faint hearted. These bangs are often paired with a cropped cut, but can work on any length of hair.  

Flawless fringes for square faces

A softer, layered style is the trick to nailing flattering fringe hair if you have a more angled face shape.

4. Side swept bangs

A side swept fringe can add curves into an otherwise structured face shape. This particular fringe hairstyle is also the perfect complement to an elegant updo. Check out eight of our favourite updo hairstyles for more updo inspo.

You may think that a choppy fringe could look a little harsh on a square face, but, this choppy style adds texture and softness compared to a blunter style. 
Choppy fringes definitely have a bed-head feel to them – and if messy, beach waves are what you’re looking for when it comes to styling the rest of your locks, check out our guide on creating beautiful beach hair in three different ways.
