Short Hairstyles for Round Faces: Slicked-back Hair

Try this slicked-back short hairstyle for whatever season or occasion. It gives you a clean and polished look, which is perfect to wear with your corporate-chic attire.

Prep your hair

The very first step to achieving this hairstyle is to wash your hair to make it voluminous and full of body. We recommend using Dove Oxygen Nourishment Shampoo and Dove Oxygen Nourishment Conditioner, as these can help add bounce to your hair.

Comb and twist your hair

Comb a section of your hair right above your head. Start from your hairline up to your crown. Then, twist this section of hair and clip it with an alligator clip to secure it in place.
