5. Side Part Hairstyle
Known for its suave, masculine feel, this is perhaps one of the most versatile and flexible men’s haircuts for round faces. Its height and length give the appearance of a longer face, while still giving enough prominence to your natural facial features. It provides the perfect balancing effect!
6. Curtain Hairstyle
This hairstyle, which is also called kachupoy, used to be popular in the ’90s. It’s good for men with round faces because the “curtain” gives the illusion of less width.

If you want to update your kachupoy hairstyle, liven it up with hair color! We’re loving this burgundy color as it complements any skin tone.
8. Two-Block Hairstyle
If you’re after volume, try the two-block hairstyle. The hair at the sides and back are trimmed short, while the hair on the crown and around is left at eyebrow-length. It’s also a trendy Asian hairstyle, so it’s definitely worth giving a shot.
9. Jagged Spikes
As a simple rule, men’s haircuts for round faces work best by adding height to your hair. How? Try incorporating thick spikes, which is a great way to change the profile of your face.
This is because tall spikes, that are over an inch tall, will help give an edge to the roundness of your face. Just get your barber to cut the sides of your hair shorter to emphasize the height of your hair further.
10. Curly Hair With Undercut
With a thick top and shaved sides and back, your face looks elongated rather than wide. This hairstyle also feels light and presko on a hot day, aside from it being hip and edgy.
Editor’s tip: Keep your hair strong and healthy-looking with Dove Men + Care Strengthening Shampoo. It has caffeine and Trichazole Actives, which help fortify your strands so your hair grows uninterrupted by hair fall and breakage.
11. Textured Asymmetrical Hairstyle
This is also a side-parted hairstyle for men, where one side is longer than the other. It also has texture, which you can do by scrunching your hair to make it a bit messy, then style it using hair putty or wax. You can also curl sections of your hair using a curling iron to create texture.
12. Curls and Bangs
If you’ve got naturally curly hair, embrace it and work those locks into a longer fringe. The textured finish of these longer bangs will really help draw attention to your eyes, helping to make your face look more angular.
13. Long French Crop
This longer and more modern French crop is the perfect hairstyle for round faces. By adding layers this cropped cut has plenty of texture and movement and is best styled with a longer fringe.

Simply keep the length long enough so that you can create plenty of volume.
15. Buzz Cut With Beard
Choosing a haircut and hairstyle for round faces isn’t about covering up a portion of your face. You can go for an extremely short haircut like a buzz cut. Complement it with any beard type—stubble, goatee, or a chin strap—and let your short hair and beard outline your face.
16. Surfer Hair
This medium to long hairstyle is also flattering for a round face shape. To create this ‘do, simple finger-comb and scrunch your hair and let it flow naturally. The result is a laidback hairstyle that also frames your round face shape.
17. Thick Top and Short Sides
Keep the top section of your hair long so you can play up its volume. To style, style finger-comb it backwards with a small amount of putty, and that’s it!
18. Textured Top
Instead of brushing your hair back, you comb then forward. Then, create a messy look by scrunching your hair or by creating inverted C-shapes using a flat iron.
19. Samurai Man Bun
If you want to put your hair up, try the samurai man bun. Even if you have your hair pulled back, the height from the samurai bun helps give balance to your round face shape.
20. Polished French Crop
Not a fan of textured hairstyles? Create this ‘do by combing your fair forward with a fine-tooth comb and applying a small amount of hair wax or gel to keep your hairstyle in place.
Editor’s tip: Scoop a small amount of VO5 Gel Wax and apply it evenly to your hair to help you nail a polished hairstyle.
