This adorable hairstyle is perfect for girls with straight hair. A few curls around the face take just a couple minutes to achieve. The delicate caramel highlights standout when the hair is pulled forward and slightly towards the small fringe of bangs.
Round faces are cute, feminine and sweet. They have a curved hairline and are often blessed with very attractive dimples on the cheeks. The hairstyles which keep all the hair off your face don’t make you any prettier and may underline the fullness of your face. Check out these haircuts with bangs for round faces that create an alluring style and visually elongate your face.
When choosing the perfect kind of bangs for your face shape, keep in mind that your goal is to make it visually longer. Long vertical and diagonal lines cope with this task fairly well, but side-swept bangs and flowy curtain bangs benefit fuller faces like no others.
Straight bangs are also quite flattering, yet for those with thicker hair, it’s better to avoid extremely thick bangs.
For fine hair, we recommend opting for thinner bangs and layered front tresses. When styling your bangs, don’t forget to make some volume on the crown to balance your features. Check out the ideas below for ultimate inspiration.

A feathered fringe goes especially well with a medium to long shags. You will definitely leave a fresh and dreamy impression on everyone who sees you and your new hairstyle.
This hairstyle is one hundred percent about gloss. Bangs can absolutely be straight, elegant, and full of shine – a simple choice that really showcases your luscious, healthy strands.
@kimsbeautystudio
Looking for a quick update for thin, straight hair? Introducing an easy straight fringe can give you an instant style boost. Platinum hair in soft layers adds a chic quotient to any outfit. Anyone with straight locks should try this look at least once.
@sergeyshapochka
Wispy bangs can be worn both if you have straight and curly hair. However, it’s essential to ensure that the textures blend well though, so keep your curls loose at the top and more spiraled towards the ends. Match your sweet style with natural makeup to achieve a cute girly look.
@hollygirldoeshair
Many women believe that bangs have to be long, especially with round faces. But, by cropping them, you can create an instantly cool and creative look that is perfect for young ladies who want a hipster girl look. If you have fuller cheeks and a rounded chin, pair your cropped bangs with long wavy strands along the face to visually elongate it.
@ashadoeshair
As blunt bangs can sometimes cut off the face and bring the focus right to the widest part, it’s better to choose wispy ones. Just like the fringe in this photo, which shows more of the face, thus elongating and slimming the visage.
@ryennesnow.hair
For a look that is totally Brooklyn cool girl, bring all that thick, wavy hair forward and tame it down with a fair dose of product. Typically, thick-haired girls shy away from going shorter, but clearly, with the right approach, short cuts rock. We love how messy wispy bangs blend with the hairstyle.
@teagancousins.hair
Bangs don’t have to be boring. Actually, there are way more possibilities, and layered fringe with trendy color blocking is one of them. This style can really update your look!
@y_ctrl_
One of the most exciting ways to create depth in dark hair is with a highlighted effect that almost looks as if it’s sunlight catching your strands in all the right places. This technique is perfect for adding more texture to your haircut and brightening your black hair with cool tones. Paired with long front layered haircut, it does some excellent contouring for the round face shape.
@lexxy_hermosa
Wish to find a way to make your face look thinner and less flat? How about this gorgeous hairstyle with long layers and blonde highlights? Long, thick, layered hair with curtain bangs will surely divert attention from the roundness of your face.
@hairbychristinakelly
If you’re willing to add a little more texture and movement to your hair, consider this short wavy cut with bangs. With these amazing bangs, your short messy haircut will look cuter and more elegant. Also, it will work well for women with both thick and thin hair types.
@erickinvisible
Do you want to do something more creative than simple straight or blunt bangs? The neck-length bob with baby bangs slims down the face, turning the cut into one of the best short hairstyles for a round face shape. Plus, thick short bangs lift the forehead and make the look open.
@nothingobvious
Unlike straight or blunt bangs, choppy parted bangs are full of movement and texture. The uneven length helps to balance the roundness of the face and creates weightlessness at the bottom of your layered hair. Show this photo to your hair stylist to implement this flattering look.
@brendaracelihair
Just because you have a fuller face does not mean that you can’t have fun with your look, isn’t it? The key to a creative hairstyle like this is a stylish wolf cut, a vivid hair color, and cool messy bangs. Looks pretty fascinating!
@hairpin_me_down85
Curls work great with circular faces and cute curly bangs are a perfect addition. Complement this hairstyle with subtle highlights for extra interest points. This is one of the best styles for ladies with a fuller face and natural curls.
@amberhendersonhair
Layered textured bangs do look amazing on women with a big forehead and fuller cheeks. Pair them with a shaggy haircut to elongate your face and emphasize your facial features.
@brianaguilarhair
Here’s another example of straight bangs that may work for a round or oval face if they are combined with edgy waves. Adding soft waves gives lift and, as always, shows off highlights. You may choose to keep hair ends straight to match the straight-across bangs.
@nikcabral
A layered style works really well for women who need to remove bulk from thick hair. Major volume on its own would make an impact, but this takes it a step further with a darker hue. The deep side part and swooping bangs do an excellent face contouring job.
@jaggi_hairartist
Round faces always benefit from long curtain bangs. If you want to try bangs and don’t know what type to choose, this is a safe solution. Combine them with a long textured haircut for a more chiseled visage.
@qtran
Piecey side bangs are fun to style, and when you get tired of them, they are so much easier to grow out. If you want to make your look more elegant, curl the ends of your locks for ’90s Rachel cut vibes.
@paryasalimi_
Women with fuller cheeks should embrace styles that offer a bit of edge that comes mainly from the right cut and partially from styling. You may opt for a layered, shaggy long bob, for instance. If you want to add a fringe, let it be rather light and pointedly jagged.
@salsalhair
This look does not sacrifice cuteness for ease. Side bangs are a great addition to flowy, wavy hair while also balancing the features.
@hairartistrybycaitlin
The best bangs are the ones that provide versatile styling options so that you can wear them straight or brushed to the side, depending on your mood. This is especially helpful for women on a budget because multiple styling options give you more bang for your buck.
@ponyhairsalon
This hairstyle was not achieved by sleeping, but it definitely has that bedhead appeal. The pieces of hair coming over one eye are mischievous and sexy, while the big barrel curls give an overall cool-girl effect. Experimenting with texture while keeping color natural can be a great compromise when you want to try a new style.
@victorval
Going for a gray-blue tone with tons of visual interest? You can choose full-on drama by incorporating long layers and cheek-skimming bangs. The multiple hues of the color play beautifully with the layers while the long side bangs add glamour and mystery.
@modernsalon
This gorgeous hairstyle is one-part stellar color and one-part impressive cut. There is definitely Old Hollywood glamour going on with the styling, but a simple pony will be equally beautiful because of all the layering. The bangs blend right in to the rest of the cut.
@modernsalon
This hairstyle has tons of movement and is great for a girl who is constantly running her fingers through her hair and flipping it back and forth. It’s the I-don’t-need-a-part look. The bangs add to the fun, carefree essence of this style.
@unknown.dimensions
The same philosophy that you apply to building a great outfit can also work for creating a stunning hairstyle; sometimes it’s the little details that make the biggest impact. From the long bang and the grey highlights to the cool sunglasses and red lips, this look is a winner.
@rainbowhairmilano
This stunning look was created by someone schooled in color theory. The wispy bangs and soft curls give the fairytale colors an extra fantasy element. This bang style is a gorgeous complement to ponytails and half-up half-down looks too. Updating the colors would definitely be high maintenance, but daily styling would be lots of fun!
@xostylistxo
The cutest pixie cut ever! Going super short typically makes bangs the star of the show, so why not go for some piecey asymmetry? Texturizing pomade is your best friend when styling super short bangs.
@modernsalon
This covetable long-hair look is always a stunner. The soft waves and pretty layers allow expert highlights to shine. The middle-parted fringe that tapers towards the back is the key to this ultra-feminine hairstyle. Keeping the styling modern (and maybe just a little tomboyish) balances out the super girly hair.
@crownbeautybar
This adorable hairstyle is perfect for girls with straight hair. A few curls around the face take just a couple minutes to achieve. The delicate caramel highlights standout when the hair is pulled forward and slightly towards the small fringe of bangs.
@drelefevre
Thick wavy hair gets a new life with a short, asymmetrical cut. The texture can be shaped and perfected on the longer side, while keeping it straight and smooth on the other, shorter side. An alternative color like maroon definitely ups the boldness of the haircut.
@heathervanhuss_
Indulge your sweet tooth with chocolate and caramel bangs. The colors instantly warm and brighten tan complexions with golden undertones. A swoop bang quickly slims for instant results.
@daniellelouisette
This is a risky choice of bangs for a circular-shaped face because they are fairly dense. However, ladies with thick hair need equally full bangs to match – otherwise, your hair style will seem unbalanced. This is perfect for a young collegiate who needs a quick but fashionable look to wear on campus. Create effortless waves by making a topknot bun overnight — just undo in the morning and head to that am class.
@hairhunter
Adding a pastel dip dye and crimpy waves enlivens short hair, giving a double dose of fun to quirky personalities. Short, side-swept bangs also make your eyes the standout feature.
@hairbyelm
Side updos are great because they can be worn in both formal and casual settings. While most of such updos usually incorporate a side swoop, front bangs provide a more modern and edgy look for young ladies.
@yujiyamane
Lots of layers and swoopy bangs are essential for goddess-like tresses. They make thick strands weightless while allowing you to omit the daily styling.
@modernsalon
One of the most exciting ways to create depth in dark hair is with a highlighted effect that almost looks as if it’s sunlight (or moonlight) catching your strands in all the right places. This technique is perfect for adding dimension within thin bangs and brightening your black hair look with cool tones instead of the usual warm shades.
@modernsalon
Young ladies searching a hairstyle for formal events like prom or winter formal will love these long loose curls with side-swept bangs. The style manages to look glamorous and polished, but still youthful and fun.
