6: Shoulder-Length Cut with Long Layers
A shoulder-length cut with long layers creates movement without removing too much weight—perfect for making thin hair look thicker while elongating round faces.
Request minimal layers that start below chin level to maintain as much density as possible.
The shoulder-length cut creates a vertical line that slims your face.
Blow dry with a round brush, focusing on creating slight bends at the ends for movement.
This versatile length offers styling options while remaining low-maintenance.
7: Side-Parted Bob with Face-Framing Layers
The side-parted bob with strategic face-framing pieces draws attention away from facial roundness while light layering adds volume to thin hair.
Ask for a chin-length bob with subtle face-framing layers and a deep side part. The asymmetrical effect of the side part immediately slims a round face.
Apply volumizing mousse to damp hair and blow dry using a round brush to create lift at the roots.
This classic cut remains stylish while addressing both thin hair and round face concerns.
8: Layered Cut with Side-Swept Bangs
Side-swept bangs create diagonal lines across a round face for an instant slimming effect, while layers throughout add much-needed volume to thin hair.
Request layers that start at chin level and continue throughout the length. The side-swept bangs should blend seamlessly with your layers for a cohesive look.
Style with volumizing spray at the roots followed by a blow dry with a round brush. This combination offers facial slimming and the appearance of thicker hair.
9: Textured Pixie with Longer Top
A pixie with extra length on top creates height that elongates round faces, while textured cutting techniques make thin hair appear thicker and more dimensional.
Ask your stylist for a pixie that maintains 2-3 inches of length on top with tapered sides. Request texturizing through the top to create piece-y definition.
Apply a small amount of pomade to the longer top sections, working the product through with your fingers for separation.
This low-maintenance style adds both height and texture.
10: Shoulder-Length Blunt Cut with Center Part
A blunt shoulder-length cut maximizes the appearance of thickness in thin hair, while the center part with face-framing pieces creates vertical lines that slim round faces.
Request a one-length cut at or just past your shoulders with minimal texturizing to maintain density. Add subtle face-framing pieces that start at chin level.
Blow dry with a paddle brush for a sleek finish that showcases the blunt ends. This sophisticated style offers simplicity while addressing both thin hair and facial roundness.
11: Long Layered Cut with Curtain Bangs
Long hair with strategic layers creates movement without sacrificing density, while curtain bangs frame a round face with slimming diagonal lines.
Request face-framing layers starting at chin level, with longer layers throughout to maintain volume.
The curtain bangs should hit at your cheekbones and open at the center.
Apply volumizing mousse to damp hair and blow dry upside down for maximum root lift. This combination offers versatility while flattering both thin hair and round faces.
12: A-Line Bob with Side Part
The A-line bob creates a strong geometric shape that distracts from facial roundness, while the angle from back to front prevents thin hair from looking flat.
Ask for a cut that’s shorter at the nape and gradually gets longer toward the front, with the longest pieces hitting at chin level. The side part adds asymmetry that further slims.
Style with a root-lifting spray and blow dry with a round brush directed away from your face.
