30. Messy Layers and Lightweight Bangs. Slimming shags go well with bangs since those pieces on the forehead draw attention away from the wide jawline, and a wispy fringe tapered toward the sides provides extra elongation.

If you have a chubby face, the wrong hairdo can accentuate that fullness or cast shadows you may not want to see. The right haircuts for round faces, however, work with your curves instead of against them, highlighting your best features and showing off your beautiful smile, bright eyes, dimples, and other attractive characteristics. You don’t have to be restricted to the same androgynous crop you’ve had for years.

These 50 top styles are perfectly slimming and offer plenty of options, no matter what hair length, texture, or color you have.

1. Short Shaggy Layers. A shaggy bob is a great look for you because it balances out the curves of your cheeks. Adding a bold color accentuates the layers.

2. Slimming Long Tousled Shag. This glamorous blonde mane is a perfect solution to distract our attention from chubbiness. The layered long hair with face-framing bangs parted in the middle slim the girl pretty well. The shag is teased at the crown to add height.

3. Long Shaggy Coif with Cheekbone-Skimming Bangs. While all the stylists out there recommend long hairdos to chubby girls to let the length balance the width, adding angles through layering around the cheekbones doubles the effect.

4. Medium-Length Shag. A middle part with face-framing pieces is perfect in this case, too. To make your visage appear oval, style swoopy bangs. One of the top picks among stylist-recommended downdos!

5. Wavy Textured Lob. The method of curtain bangs – real or fake ones – is a great way to slim you down. Pick a rich solid color that complements your skin tone to achieve this flattering look.

6. Long Bangs and Layers Thick Manes. This is a great idea to look more elongated. For women with a thick mane, this style is quite easy to recreate. The layers and long bangs work together to draw attention away from the curves.

7. Blunt Lob with Curtain Bangs. For a classy, cool-girl crop, go for a blunt lob. A middle part with long bangs swept to the sides and blended in seamlessly with thick waves gives a balancing frame to her visage. Such a gorgeous coif is a 100% right pick for it-girls.

8. Blunt Money Piece Bob. You should definitely consider bob crops, especially when they are snipped below the chin and complemented with money piece strands on the sides, creating vertical lines for the eye to follow.

9. Messy Choppy Comb-Over Bob. Achieve a choppy bob by textured layering to have a beach look. It’s a timeless crop recommended for those who have thin hair. A fantastic option if you want flattering short hair for chubbiness, as a comb-over features a deep side part that elongates and slims you down. It’s sweet, carefree, and romantic!

10. Medium-Length Hair with Face-Framing Graduation. Angles are among the things that distinguish the best haircuts from lackluster looks, and here is how you can include some of them into a blunt lob.

11. Textured Lob with Bangs and Highlights. Another trick applicable to our case is placing some color near the face: for example, these textured ends deliver sharpness and get enhanced with caramel highlights.

12. Feathered Lob with a Swoopy Fringe. This girl has everything we need, from layers and sliced ends creating many angles to offset the roundness to a voluminous side-swept fringe adding height and elongation.

13. Asymmetrical Shaggy Lob. Fun and perky, the asymmetrical shaggy lob could be our best crop. This long bob plays with angles and balance, diverting attention away from the excessive roundness. Finish it with some light color for a more exciting and flirty look. Feel free and vibrant with this coif!

14. Disconnected Wavy Long Bob. Disconnected coifs are popular nowadays. If you can’t choose between two hairdos, try a disconnected style as it smashes two crops in one. Because the lob is not fused to look cohesive, this style delivers a lot of texture. Make it wavy and long, and you’ll have no problem with looking chubby.

15. Chin-Length Shaggy Comb-Over. A shaggy crop is a true gem for us – and this one gives off a free-spirited vibe. Such bobs for overweight women help in balancing the curves. Pairing it with a solid color is best for fair skin tones.

16. Wispy Collarbone Coif. A flattering choice for women with curves and thin hair. Textured strands and a zigzag part provide the needed volume and frame to cover those wide cheekbones. A good idea for double chins, too.

17. Disconnected Medium Waves. Medium-length locks look great with waves, and shaggy ends are perfectly slimming. An off-center part balances the style and elongates your visage.

18. Lob Shag with Highlighted Ends. Talk of a crop for chubby gals that actually walks the talk. The shaggy layers thinned out at the ends create a flattering coif with a slimming effect. The root fade enhances it.

19. Collarbone Bob with Angled Bangs. Want a bob but still need to be able to make it into a ponytail? Choose a collarbone bob that sits just above the shoulders. Match it with angled or slanted bangs so your visage seems longer. Angled bangs also make you appear more delicate.

20. Straight and Sleek Comb-Over. One of the most elegant coifs is a sleek comb-over. Look sophisticated while hiding one cheek. Wear your favorite elongated earrings, too, and show one of them off as an additional slimming trick.

21. Messy Bob with a Fringe. Thanks to messiness this banged bob frames the visage nicely. Keeping the part off center adds volume on top.

22. Long Thin Layers. Longer strands with a slight wave look wonderful in layers. This style is ideal for both thin tresses and for thick locks with good volume.

23. Voluminous Butterfly Coif. Don’t hesitate to add volume to your longer downdos since width placed in strategic places helps to offset the roundness while long curtain bangs like these frame nicely.

24. Shoulder-Length Blunt Bob with a Middle Part. The long bangs are parted in the middle to make you look slim. They hide the cheeks and make your visage more elongated. What a simple yet elegant style!

25. Long Shaggy Layers. Apart from creating an illusion of the already praised curtain bangs, this shag allows you to look slimmer thanks to both the soft bends and volumized crown.

26. Shaggy Medium-Length Coif. This midi with an off-center part is great as it adds height and plays with volume and lines to make the visage appear slim and oval.

27. Shoulder-Length Layered Shag with ‘70s Bangs. Here is another great lob for those who want to look slimmer, featuring the elongating length and tapered bangs creating extra lines at both sides.

28. Brunette Long Choppy Shag. Balayage is a good match to upgrade your coif because it adds dimension to the hair. Style your locks with neat waves to complete them with volume and additional chic.

29. Loose Golden Blonde Waves. A longer length and soft waves are two surefire ingredients to complete the best slimming downdos, and this golden blonde coif adds beautifully accentuated cheekbones to the winning formula.

30. Messy Layers and Lightweight Bangs. Slimming shags go well with bangs since those pieces on the forehead draw attention away from the wide jawline, and a wispy fringe tapered toward the sides provides extra elongation.

31. Center-Parted Lob with Contouring. While a center part is good for us because it makes the forehead appear higher, these dramatic blonde strands enhance the framing and slimming effects.

32. Collarbone Wolf Lob. A shag is perfect for shoulder-length locks. It frames gently, and the texture minimizes the roundness.

33. Head-Hugging Neck-Length Bedhead. Although crops cannot provide much length for elongation, they work fine for removing weight from your hair and delivering some height, which works in the same direction.

34. Choppy Bob with Added Length. The bob gives straight hair shape and special flair. Keep the style even with a center part and long layers on each side.

35. Metallic Bronde Bob with Texture. While blunt bobs are sometimes referred to as no-no hairstyles for chubby girls, a few inches of added length, textured ends, soft waves, and face-framing pieces flipped outside can make all the difference.

36. Long Wolf Cut with Curtain Bangs. Not only short but also long wolf shags can be listed among our best coifs since they are handsomely elongating and wonderfully choppy to deflect the roundness.

37. Long Hair with Varying Lengths and Layers. This girl makes the most out of layers to build structure visually and gain tons of definition that curvy ladies usually lack.

38. Long Straight Mane with Layers. An extra-long downdo may be ideal for us, too; it slims the cheeks while adding movement under the chin. This style is perfect with either a center part or a side part.

39. Very Short Bob with Tempe Undercut. Check this pretty very short crop with a shaved temple underneath tapered bangs. This adds some nice height to your look.

40. Wispy Waves and Feathered Framing. This long coif does a great job of breaking the fullness of the cheeks with the short feathered layers cascading down along the sides.

41. Long Layered Waves. Longer wavy locks with layers suit a full visage. Thinner, wispy bangs frame it without making it too wide.

42. Medium Coif with Feathered Bangs. Here, the angled side tresses are creatively paired with feathered bangs while layers and waves shifted toward the bottom ensure body around the soft jawline.

43. Soft Waves with Highlights. Long, soft waves are our best friends since their curves help to minimize the roundness, and we cannot help but praise these highlights for boosting texture.

44. Straight Asymmetrical Bob. Women with straight strandseasily pull off the drama of an asymmetrical, straight bob. A side part gives this cute style a peek-a-boo effect.

45. Side-parted Wavy Bob. Styling waves for a chin-length crop improves bounce and brings in a beautiful texture in elongating lines, perfect for curvy girls. This bob is best without bangs to make your face look slim.

46. Lob with Tousled Waves. A fun way to make wavy coifs distinct is to sweep your waves to one side. This helps women to conceal the width of their bone structure without hiding their eyes.

47. High Volume Bob. If you have thick, coarse locks, a bob with chunky layers and a side part uses the texture to balance your visage.

48. Long Highlighted Layers. Brightening longer layers gives dimension to any style, and that’s especially helpful for us. Honey blonde and light caramel tones are so pretty!

49. Straight A-Line Bob. Need inspiration for a crop? Being considered the best midi coif, the A-line bob makes you look thinner as the tips draw the eye down and give a slimming effect. The soft curves of this crop aptly hide the cheeks.

50. Center-Parted Wavy Shag. Getting a center part is a simple yet effective way of elongation, especially when it is combined with debulked, lifted locks on the crown.
