25 Slimming Bob Hairstyles for Round Face Shapes

13: Layered Bob with Balayage

A layered bob with strategic balayage placement creates depth and dimension that sculpt your face.

Keep the layers longer in front to create vertical lines that elongate your face shape.

Position the lightest balayage pieces around your face to draw the eye downward.

Style with loose waves directed away from your face to enhance the slimming vertical movement of this versatile cut.

14: Sleek A-line Bob with Tucked Side

The strong diagonal line of an A-line bob (shorter in back, longer in front) creates instant structure that slims a round face.

Style with one side tucked behind your ear to add asymmetry.

Keep the front pieces well below your chin to draw the eye downward.

Apply smoothing serum before flat ironing to enhance the sleek, defined lines that maximize this cut’s slimming effects.

15: French Bob with Side-Swept Fringe

The French bob—cut straight across at chin length—creates a strong frame that adds definition to softer face shapes.

Add a side-swept fringe that creates diagonal movement across your forehead.

Style with slight texture through the ends for movement while maintaining the structural integrity of the cut.

The combination of straight lines and diagonal fringes creates angles that slim your face.

16: Shaggy Bob with Curtain Bangs

A shaggy bob with lots of layers creates texture and movement that distract from facial fullness.

Pair with curtain bangs that open at the center to draw attention to the middle of your face.

Keep the overall length just below your chin and style with texturizing spray for piece-y definition.

The vertical movement created by the layers helps elongate your face while the strategic bang placement highlights your eyes.

17: Wavy Lob with Off-Center Part

A longer bob styled with loose waves creates vertical movement that slims a round face.

The off-center part adds asymmetry that further disrupts roundness and adds angle to your look.

Keep the length past your chin but above your shoulders for the most flattering proportion.

Use a 1-inch curling iron to create loose, vertical waves that enhance the lengthening effect of this versatile style.

18: Sliced Bob with Money Piece Highlights

A precision-cut sliced bob with minimal layers creates clean lines that add definition to a round face.

Add face-framing “money piece” highlights to create a vertical color dimension that slims your face.

Keep the length at your chin or slightly longer and style straight to showcase the technical precision of the cut.

The lighter face-framing pieces draw the eye downward, creating a lengthening optical illusion.

19: Curly Bob with Height at Crown

Embrace your natural texture with a curly bob that adds height at the crown.

The vertical lift elongates your face while the narrower sides create a slimming silhouette.
