The Best Bangs for Round Faces We’re Loving Now

Looking for a new style with fringe that compliments your round face shape? Don’t worry, we got you covered! Keep scrolling to check out the best bangs for round faces looks.

1. Side-Swept Bangs for Round Face Shapes

TRESemmé

TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Smooth Hold Level 2 Hair Spray

Swooping your bangs to the side creates an angled effect. This is ideal if you don’t want your bangs to draw more attention to your face shape. Mist your bangs with a light spray of TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Smooth Hold Level 2 to keep your bangs at the perfect angle all day long.

2. Ruffled Bangs for Round Face Shapes

Rough-dry your hair to create this layered and textured look. This is a great option for anyone wanting to try out a short pixie cut. Use a hair dryer and hair brush to dry your pixie cut and target the nozzle in different directions to create a rough texture.

3. Piecey Bangs

Create a few parts within your fringe to make lines of symmetry. This fringe is perfect for those testing out bangs, but don’t want to commit to a full, straight across bang. On the days when you aren’t feeling a bangs style, you can pull those strands back and pin them out of the way.

4. Micro Bangs

Instead of taking the attention away from your face shape, maybe you want bangs that help define it? Try this micro bang style for a bit of that edgy definition. Pair it with a pop of bright pink hair color for a super edgy style.

5. Parted Bangs

Create a center hair part within your bangs to draw attention away from your rounded shape. This style of fringe looks great when paired with updos. Also, talk to your stylist about blending your bangs with the rest of your haircut with face-framing layers.

6. Piecey Micro Bangs

Looking for a set of bangs to slightly frame your face? Go for this piecey micro bang look. Baby bangs like this will help create the illusion of a longer forehead, making your face appear less round.

7. Layered Hair with Bangs

Have a multi-length haircut and looking for the right bangs to match? You can’t go wrong with a simple fringe for your face shape. The edginess of this style is only exaggerated by the harsh difference between the bangs and the rest of the style.

8. Extra-Long Bangs for Round Face Shapes

Whether your bangs are growing out, or you have them long on purpose, this look works for your unique face shape. If you want to elongate your face shape, sweep your bangs to the side.

9. Braided Bangs

If you’re after something on the trendy side, opt for braided bangs. Try a chunky braid for a more trendy approach. This is the perfect way to try out the illusion of bangs without committing to them full-on.

10. Bowl-Cut Bangs

Many women with round face shapes tend to stay away from short haircuts. We love how this bowl cut and bangs look suits your face frame without overwhelming your face shape. A haircut like this requires meticulous upkeep so keep that in mind before you take the plunge!

11. Blonde Highlights

Love Beauty and Planet

Love Beauty and Planet Blooming Color Murumuru Butter & Rose Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Love Beauty and Planet

Love Beauty and Planet Blooming Color Murumuru Butter & Rose Conditioner

Update your bangs with bright blonde highlights. When washing your hair, make sure to use a system for color-treated hair like Love Beauty and Planet Blooming Color Murumuru Butter & Rose Shampoo and Conditioner to make sure your highlights stay vibrant!

12. Blunt Pink Fringe

A sharp set of bangs offsets the rounded shape of your face and adds dimension. If you’re looking for ways to make your face appear longer, pair your fringe with a longer length. This contrast style creates an illusion of a longer and more angular face shape.

13. Airy Bangs for Round Face Shapes

This is one of our favorite looks for fine hair on a rounded face! The airy look adds texture while also giving thinner hair a fuller look. Ask your stylist to use a feathered technique to add some texture to your ends.

14. Classic Bangs for Round Face Shapes

When in doubt, keep it simple with a classic fringe cut. This bobs and bangs combo works with so many different hair types! Use a curling iron or hair dryer to curl the hair under to create this streamlined style.

15. Gelled Bangs

Dove

Dove Amplified Textures Shine & Moisture Finishing Gel

There are so many ways to style your fringe these days so the question of “Should I get bangs?” shouldn’t make you feel as if your styling options are slim to none. This gelled bang style is perfect for fancy occasions. Smooth hair down with Dove Amplified Textures Shine & Moisture Finishing Gel and allow it to dry in place.

16. Layered Hair

Take cues from the French and go for an undone look every single day. Wondering how this would look with a fringe? Here’s proof that you get to take full advantage of all the benefits a fringe has to offer.

17. Micro Bangs

We’re obsessed with this micro bang style. Contrary to popular belief, just because you have bangs doesn’t mean your hair has to be perfect every single day. Try this textured and undone look to create a super airy, natural vibe.

18. See-Through Bangs

Bobs are more fun when you pair the look with a fun fringe. We love the idea of giving your bangs this see-through effect. Achieve this style by finger-combing your bangs.

19. Side Part Bangs

There may or may not come a time when you feel like you’re over your bangs. Don’t let that get you down! Instead, opt for changing the direction you usually part your hair to give your style a new look.

20. Swoop Bangs for Round Faces

It’s not every woman that can stand having her fringe in her face all day. If your bangs are getting the best of you, that shouldn’t cramp your style. Instead, sweep them over to the side to keep them out of your face. If needed, use a hairpin to secure in place.

21. Fringe Updo

Dove

Dove Detox & Purify Dry Shampoo

Every day won’t be a good hair day but there’s definitely a way to make it work. Prep hair with a dry shampoo like Dove Refresh+Care Detox & Purify Dry Shampoo to absorb yesterday’s oil, and then gather your hair into a loose updo style. 

22. Wispy Bangs

Want to break up the neat finish of your style with a little bit of edge? Pair polished waves with wispy bangs to create the perfect contrast in your look. These slightly longer bangs are thin enough to be wispy and ethereal.

23. Brunette Bangs

Dove

Dove Style+Care Compressed Flexible Hold Hairspray

Looking to get a complete makeover? Try changing the color of your hair, chopping into a bob, and getting bangs. Don’t you love this brunette ‘do as much as us? Style your look into this bouncy and wavy style with the help of Dove Style+Care Flexible Hold Hairspray.

24. Long Wispy Bangs

Want bangs that are easier to style? A longer wispy style compliments a variety of haircuts so well. Plus, it’s a great option for bangs for round faces. Use a thin curling iron or hair straightener to create these loose easy waves.

25. Blunt Bangs for Round Faces

You can never go wrong with a blunt bangs look. A look like this can help elongate your face and take away some of the natural softness of the shape.

26. Curtain Bangs for Round Faces

Curtain bangs are the trendiest fringe styles of the year, so why not try it out? This style is very flattering on round faces because the fringe fans outwards and gets longer towards the ends.

27. Textured Bangs with Lob

TRESemmé

TRESemmé Dry Texture Finishing Spray

A textured look will add height to your hair, making your face appear longer. To help add more texture and lock it in, use TRESemmé Dry Texture Finishing Spray.

28. Piecey Side Bangs

A pixie and a side-swept style? Sounds like the perfect combination for bangs for round faces. Use a hair dryer to add some rough texture to your style and to create this windswept look.
