2. The Classic Cut
With a beard, this classic cut helps add dimension to your face shape. Pull your hair back using a gel to lock your hairstyle in place.
3. Long Curls
If you have naturally curly hair, embrace your texture. Long layered curls helps frame a round face.
4. The Faux Hawk
Want to offset the perfectly rounded shape of your face? The angular shape from a faux hawk can help with that. Style your hair with AXE Spiked Up Look: Styling Putty to create your look.
5. Edgy Quiff
Give a quiff a more youthful feel. Rough up your front section to spread hair apart and to create texture.
6. Loose Messy Curls
On the hunt for a haircut that fits your lifestyle and round face shape? Loose messy curls are the way to go. Use a gel like Dove Men+Care Control Gel to help shape and define your curls.
7. Piecey Bangs
You can use men’s hairstyles for round faces like piecey bangs to create the illusion of a longer face shape.
8. The Man Ponytail
Want to give your man bun a rest? Pull your hair back into an undone man ponytail.
9. Blonde Short Curls
On a round face on deeper skin tones, the use of a light hair color helps create the illusion of a longer face shape.
10. Short Cut
If you’re looking for a haircut that’s understated, go for a simple short haircut.
11. Long Straight Bangs
Style your straight short haircut with this long fringe style.
12. Piecey Side Fringe
Sport a slightly undone fringe to complement your round face shape.
13. Sleek Combover
A super sleek combover style plays nicely with a round or oblong face shape. Style hair with AXE Smooth Look: Shine Pomade for a frizz-free and shiny finish.
14. Bedhead Quiff
There’s nothing like a good old bedhead style for any face shape. This disheveled look is one of the best and most stylish men’s hairstyles for round faces and all other face types.
15. The Man Bun
Last, but certainly not least is the man bun. We are firm believers that this style works for any face shape. It’s all about finding the right shape and size of bun for you.
16. Spiked
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.
17. Pompadour with an Undercut
Cool, sleek and fashion-forward: the pompadour‘s slicked-back style makes it one of the trendiest men’s haircuts for round faces.
But if the traditional route is too been-there-done-that for your taste, give the look an edgier, more contemporary feel with shaved undercut sides. This will emphasize the height and fullness on top, drawing attention away from the roundness of your face shape.
18. All Natural
Embrace the texture of your natural hair and wear it proudly. Rounded afros or curls with a little more height on top look great on round-faced men.
19. Caesar Cut
If you love the idea of the French crop but want something that’ll really show off your hair texture, this contemporary version of the Caesar cut will be right up your street.
20. Modern Quiff
The modern quiff is one of our favorite men’s haircuts for round faces, which will help to elongate your face shape. The trick is to create volume by simply brushing up your quiff, but we’ll leave it up to you how high you dare to go…
21. Fauxhawk
The fauxhawk is one of the hottest hair trends for men right now and is great for adding optimum volume, and prominent angles to your face.
22. 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.
23. Curly High Top
Make your curls your best feature by styling them in a high and tight fade.
24. Straight Shag
Add layers and a choppy finish to your medium-length cut to help add shape and define a round face.
25. Afro Twists
Give the illusion of length by adding height to the top of your hair like above. Keep the sides shorter and focus most of the length to the top to elongate a round face.
26. Twist High Top
As a simple rule, men’s haircuts for round faces work best by adding height to your hair. So, grow out the top of your hair while keeping the sides short like the model above.
27. Angular Fringe
Soften the appearance of a round face by adding an angular fringe to a short haircut. We love how this guy opened up the sides of his face by teaming a spikey side fringe with a temple fade.
28. Bald & Beard Combo
If you prefer short styles or suffer from thinning hair, make the most of your facial hair like this stylish gent who teamed a buzzcut with a short beard.
29. Sleek Side Part
Ideal for achieving a timeless look, this cut is also one that can be adapted to meet your personal preference, based on your hair type and length.
30. Combover
Known for its suave, masculine feel, this is perhaps one of the most versatile and flexible men’s haircuts for round faces. It’s height and length provides the perfect balancing effect, helping to give the appearance of a longer face, while still giving enough prominence to your natural facial features.
